LSRO: Chapter 365 - Tip of the Tongue

This title is actually one of my favorite sayings. I'm not sure why... but I've always thought it perfectly describes the feeling of knowing what a thing and not quite being able to grasp it.

2026 has been a slow start for me so far. Trying to get back into the swing of things. Hope it's going well for everyone else. 2026-01-14 19:04:28 +0000 UTC View Post

LSRO: Chapter 364 - What a Waste

I officially despise deadlines.

But... also work my best when in a panic.

So it's sort of a catch 22, right?

Chapter 27

What a Waste

It was all a bit of a letdown. Quinn felt slightly irritated. She’d been so excited to open this branch, but... tomorro...

I swear - they should be regular now. I'm really excited to get to writing a new series after this. So so excited.

But I miss Library already.

SAD ME

LSRO: Chapter 362 - Type of Family

Okay so just making sure everyone knows that these are rough and will be slightly tweaked before publication. Nothing's going to change of course - story wise, but some of the prose and transitions will be smoother.

I'm on the tail end of the book. And then the read editing begins.

Now I can start sharing again! 2026-01-05 00:11:49 +0000 UTC View Post

LSRO: Chapter 358 - Parameters

Hello all - I have a chapter dump for you this weekend.

This book is trying to run away with me, but I'm wrangling it. You'll have at least another chapter today.

Slowly but surely I think the ending will work

Maybe

Probably

LSRO: Chapter 357 - Established a Fine

Okay. I'm getting up there.

Falling way behind in editing - however, gotta get the words out while the flow is there, right?

How is it Christmas in 10 days?

That should be illegal.

ANYHU!

LSRO: Ch355 - Laugh More

It's been a bit of a weird week, but I've been diligently writing, although I had a pretty bad migraine day.

I'll try to get another 2-3 chapters edited over the weekend.

This is not my usual process. Normally, I put rough drafts up here, but right now I have to focus on getting the story written and then editing ...

LSRO: Chapter 351 - Well In Hand

Okay so it's a little later today than I wanted, but it's still today. So here is another chapter.

There'll be more up tomorrow. I'm really trying to effectively edit these - so it's taking a little longer and I'd say it's not exactly a rough draft anymore. Probably rough+

Is that a thing?

It is now.

LSRO: Chapter 350 - Be Damned

And as promised, here's another.

I'll drop a couple more today.

I'm pretty happy with the direction the book is going right now. Picking up those threads and weaving a decently warm jumper.

Hope you're enjoying it so far.

LSRO: Chapter 349 - Three Tomes

Hey there wonderful people

Told you I'd be posting more. And even more to come over the weekend as I get them all through a quick edit. Gotta write while the words flow. Editing takes a minor back seat to that.

Anyhu - onward we go.

I'm actually having a ball writing this. Frankly - I'm tying in threads I in...

LSRO: Chapter 348 - Needing Protection

Hey you wonderful people.

So trying to get book six finished in time for my deadline with my audio publisher is proving a challenge. This means huge word days for me, and I also need to edit the chapters.

Which takes longer than I remembered. So oops right there. I usually only edit one chapter at a time, buuuuut....

Quick Update!

Hi wonderful people.

I have been in a bit of a groove, and am writing my ass off.

I'll be dumping about six chapters tomorrow for you all. I'm not sure whether I should drop them all in one post or all separately?

But anyway - you'll have lots of words to read. I'm zooming here!

Much love

KT

LSRO: Chapter 347 - Division of Labor

I KNOW RIGHT?!?!?!

A Chapter. Yep. This is a chapter. Of the book that I'm writing. I've finally got the outline in a place I'm comfortable with and I think I can start weaving the remaining strands together and get us to a good place in about another 100-120k words! That's good right?

This literally just vomited...

Update!

Hi there you freaking fantastic people

Health: I have FINALLY shaken most of the pneumonia. The special inhaler I got from my pulmonologist has been doing its job. I get maybe one or two coughing fits still a day, but they're much more manageable than they used to be.

Kiddo: Just got done with the school musical -...

Update & Book 5

Hey there wonderful people

Okay so... second round of treatment has helped, and is finished. However, I'm still probably about 65% healthy. Lungs are still trying to periodically drown me, and breathing is difficult.

Luckily, I do see my pulmonologist tomorrow. So, fingers crossed. Hopefully he can help.

Now...

Pause and Slow Recovery

Hey wonderful people.

I'm slowly recovering. Emphasis on slow... but at least it's looking up now.

I'm on my second treatment since the first didn't work as intended.

Writing will be coming asap, as I do need to have this book written in the next 6 weeks in order to meet my deadline with Podium and allow fo...

Health Update!

Hi there wonderful people

So... I'd forgotten how horrific pneumonia is. It has been almost two weeks now since the diagnosis and I have to say, I'm only just starting to recover.

I am hoping to be able to get a few chapters written this week. If I can't, I will be pausing membership again.

Sincerely looking...

Pneumonia Update

Yep

So that pesky fever I was fighting off?

That whole, I’ll dive back into work next week because I’m getting better? Well either I was inadvertently lying or else just delusional.

I have pneumonia.

I’ll get back into writing asap. Once I can breathe and function again.

This mourning's update

Hey there wonderful people

This has been a pretty shit month for me. Frankly 2025 is top of my list for worst years ever. Nothing to do with y'all or with stories... just with life hitting me with sickness, after sickness, followed by injury, kid health problems, and then family death hahah.

I made it to Australia...

Update - Another Day, Another Flight

So, expanding on the last post I made. I'm currently sitting in the airport again awaiting the first of three flights to Brisbane Australia, so I can go and see my dad who has just been placed into hospice care.

It's not the trip I wanted to make.

You have to understand that my relationship with my parents is sket...

When shit hits that fan… and a pause

Not only was it dragon con this week which meant I was away from my family… but it has been a very harsh week for family.

My daughter got some bad news and then lost one of her pets. And I got some bad news about family in Australia

All of this has been super hard to deal with. I ended up changing my...

Update: Upcoming 2 weeks schedule

Hey there lovelies

In case you're not aware. Dragon Con starts on Thursday this week. I'll be attending the con.

I won't be back and operational until Tuesday the 2nd of September.

So each of the next two weeks will have 3 chapters posted.

It's been a bit of a rough few weeks. Cross your fingers for me...

LSRO: Chapter 346 - Plotting Nefariously

I finally, FINALLY, found Dro's full name. It's Dronar - Weeeee. You should all clap. I was very proud of this. I'll be adjusting a lot of the references to her when I edit back to the full name. Hopefully that will provide less confusion.

Anyhu - we're getting all reved up here. I'm excited for the s...
