How to write an interlude without giving everything away????? · 5:54am Aug 19th, 2018

Gahhhhhhhh

I can't figure out how to write this one chapter without giving everything away... or over emphasizing a relationship that I'm not sure even exists in the story I want to write yet...


Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... This is literally the one thing that is stopping me from posting the next chapter of Susnet Shattered! I've rewritten this chapter toooooooo many times, and I need help from someone with more experience!

Pardon for the delays... Truth is I went for a walkbaout? · 6:28am Aug 5th, 2018

Hey all!

Not sure how many people read blog posts like this from relative nobodies, but I just wanted to apologize for going dark for a couple months. I will be honest and say that I lost the voice for two of my fics 'Sunset Shattered' and 'Sunset's Second Chance At Childhood'.

I've been writing I promise! ... ... just not the stories I've started? · 10:04pm May 15th, 2018

So I've been keeping my personal promise to write at least 2K words a week, but sadly it's been for the most part on stories I have not posted yet. I've decided to at least begin getting the backlog online. Hopefully it will help me refocus on my main stories as well.

I'm starting off with posting one of my darker stories, which I work on as a form of catharsis, Sunset Shattered. In the coming weeks I'll finish posting the other plot bunnies I've written up as well.

Premise -

Call out for beta readers? · 10:26pm Apr 7th, 2018

So... I really really need folks willing to read unedited chapters, give some tough love, and critique the story itself for a couple of my stories beyond simply telling me about grammar.

I need feedback to help me with pacing, dialogue, plot, etc.

On the plus side, you get to read what I write before everyone else!

On the con side, you read what I write before anyone else, so it might not be close to the end product. It might end up changing DRASTICALLY from the final chapter.

Some idea prompts - EQG version · 10:45pm Mar 26th, 2018

Below are some of the prompts I recently came up with as a personal exercise, and invite anyone to use themselves, as I doubt I'll ever get to all of them. I'm sure others have come up with similar ones at some point, and I just haven't found them yet.

'Want-of-a Nail' prompts:

Fascination with points of inflection · 10:42pm Mar 26th, 2018

So I've been reading fanfiction since I was a 10 year old, and I've gone through a whole bunch of fandoms. Started out mainly with Anime, then got pretty involved with Sci-fi, took a pitstop with Alternative history, and then the last couple years I've had a fascination with fics that turn a seemingly childish story, or plot points, and explores what they mean from a more grown up perspective.
