I have directed AI to only look for punctuation and tense errors. It still misses some, but until I can get money to hire someone to go through it, it’ll have to do. I also have it scan for continuity. Sometimes, it will suggest I look at another sentence for clarity. But I have distinctly told...

The only thing I worry about is if I’ve done my characters justice. I may only ever get a handful of readers, but if the characters resonate with those few readers then I’m happy. I never get a lot of traction on writing platforms…. do I care? Yes, of course. But I don’t obsess. If I did...

Missing my dad a lot tonight, and the way he always championed my interest in the arts. Even if I thought it wasn’t worth it, he always did. And that made it worth it to me.

I had two days off work and spent them editing book one and two of my planned four book arc. Several hundreds of thousands of words later, and my brain is soup.

Good question. I have like maybe 3 actual friends. Tons of people I’d consider acquaintances. But friends are more rare. I like hiking and taking photos. Most people who hike are looking to do it for exercise. So it’s hard finding someone who likes to slow down to look at moss and mushrooms. ...

I’m just happy I have rankings at all. I’ve only been here for like two and a half weeks. They aren’t front page rankings, but it’s still slight visibility. So I’m pleased with that. My highest tag ranking tag is “goblins” which also makes me happy. I spent a lot of time writing my Goblin...

Mine is the first book in a planned four-book arc. I began writing this story over twenty years ago and later rediscovered and rewrote it. It’s a slow-burn epic fantasy with a strong focus on character development and immersive worldbuilding. The Goblin King Of Eldoria

Over 20,000 words into book 3 of the Eldoria Chronicles, The Prince Between Worlds ??

Not visceral horror, but a few months ago I was hiking in a national park. I crouched down to take a photo, and something in my knee shifted. A nerve had become trapped in my kneecap and it wouldn’t come loose. That was the worst pain I’d even felt. I couldn’t stand, or even bend my leg. I sat...

If you feel like it is worth it, it probably is. My first novel, The Goblin King of Eldoria, started like that. I wrote it in my late teens/early 20’s. I found it again as an adult, and rewrote the book. I had new experiences and new worldviews than my younger self. And it made the book...

Six inches of sleet and it’s still coming down. At least we still have power! For now.

The snow is starting to fall, and with a forecast of ice on the way, operation charge all powerbanks is complete. Hopefully my laptop battery will last a while before needing charging. Cause I’m right in the middle of this chapter ?

Awesome question! For me, the lore of Eldoria starts with consequence. The world was shaped by an imperial war that didn’t just redraw borders, it fractured cultures, displaced peoples, and left scars that future generations have to live with. Much of the story is told through Goblin...

We are supposed to get a major snow and ice storm. I sure hope the power doesn’t go out. I’m not worried so much about me, but my animals. There is an arctic cold front here too. So good vibes that the power stays on!

I plot point things out. Like how I want each chapter to flow into the next one. Does it end up following that map? Not usually ? The story oftentimes evolves as I’m writing it. That happened with my first novel. Once I stopped trying to pigeonhole it into what I wanted it to be, it became...

I had a 4 year old call me ancient, so I feel your pain lol

Uploading regularly is the thing I’ve seen that gets views. I have a fair amount of views being totally new. But I would love to eventually convert those to comments and such. Those mean more to me. It is a long game, especially being a new author. Being patient and consistent is the best advice...

Spent the evening editing some scenes of my first book. Things that had always kind of seemed a little off. Lesson learned, always listen to that little voice when it won’t leave things alone.
