This time it's going to be a little bit different.

Before we get into anything else, let’s get the important announcement done first… this week I'm going to be publishing a short story from the Creakylid universe. With any luck it will be released on Sunday at around the normal time and will be available for rare, epic, an...

Hello my Patrons,

As some of you already know, my forehead now vaguely resembles a ball of plasticine that has been thrown repeatedly at a wall, owing to the amount of time I've spent banging my head up against the next chapter. 

For whatever reason, I’m just not getting this to work out the way I want to, but I c...

Weekly Update — 11

Hello, my most beneficent patrons,

This update is difficult for me to write, and, as you can see, I'm publishing it slightly earlier than usual.

The latest chapter is turning out to be a slug-fest and a half. Not because it's particularly long (it isn't), but rather because there are just so many little details that I've...

Schedule Update

Hi all,

Hope you enjoyed your weekend.

Quick update.

One of my project chapters went a little over the word count, so I'm having to create a 'part two' chapter for it and push the rest of my chapters back a week.

Here's the new schedule:

• Project D Chapter — Sunday, 28th Jan, 2018 [New chapter] (...

Hello, my beloved patrons.

This is going to be a rather quick update, so hold onto your hats.

1. This week's chapter release will be going ahead on schedule. Wooo!

2. Because I messed up again on estimating how many words I'd need, this chapter is going to be broken up into two parts. Part two will be published on ...

My Dearest Patrons,

I now find myself experimenting with tools unknown — or, at least, unknown to me for the longest time. I am referring to audio production, something that, while I’ve occasionally spoken in front of crowds of people, I have little experience with at the technical level. 

I was thinking, you se...

Hello my Patrons!

Say hello to a brand new year.

— Awesome 2018 —

How interesting will this year be? No idea. Twelve months is a long time, but I guess we’re going to find out. At the very least, I hope we can hit our first mile stone this year. Words cannot describe how awesome that...

Hello my Patrons!

Welcome to the last weekly update of 2017.

This is going to be a really short update because I'm still hard at work on the next chapter of my hobby/training project, which will be publicly released this Sunday on leadvone.com and other websites. Currently clocking in at 12,000 words with another 1,000-2...

Weekly Update — 6 (And 2017 in Review)

I worked on the next chapter. 

But enough with the obvious. I won’t have time for this next week, so let’s look back over 2017 — in prose!

2017 Review

James woke up. It was 2017! He threw off his blanket, ran outside, and spread his arms to a brand new year. In the following twelve month...

Project B — Chapter 3 — Draft V.0.1

For some reason, Patreon isn't allowing my to post the link to this chapter as a link, so we're doing it as text instead.

Hello my Patrons,

It's Friday again, and you know what that means...

Writing.

This week's chapter is looking to be a little shorter than last weeks, if only because we need to get this train properly moving out of the station and into the nice fresh countryside. It'll probably end up around 6,000-7...

Project B — Chapter 2 — Draft V.0.1

Draft chapters will stay online and viewable until book is published.

Hello my Patrons,

Time for the weekly update!

Writing.

This week was a straight up writing sprint for Project B's second chapter. I'm pretty much done with the rough draft, and will be cleaning it up over the next few days. That should give me time to spare before the release on Sunday. We're on sc...

 Hello my Patrons — my, how fast you grow.

News!

On Sunday, we had our first Project B draft chapter. People seemed to enjoy that, so that’s good. Lots of useful feedback and corrections. 

As you no doubt know, on Wednesday we finally announced the Patreon campaign to the Gray Mailing...

Evening all.

Whew. Its been quite a week.

Firstly, the first draft of chapter one is nearly done. I’ve just finished the updated outline for the last scene and I’ll be writing it early tomorrow morning. We should be clocking in at just over 8,000 words by the time we’re done, which is (almost) bang on the nose of w...

Hey, all. I’ve decided to take Mercury044’s suggestion and regularly update this blog on Fridays. Sometimes I may include thoughts about craft, the business, or other things, should the mood take me that way. If nothing else, you’ll get a nice, snappy progress report… like this one.

This week I've been mostly storyboar...
