Evening all,
This weekend, we'll be having the next chapter part for DP&SW, and on the Wednesday after that, we'll have what will hopefully be the final chapter of the next Richard Struggle book.
Also, I mentioned yesterday that I'd be giving the whole series a new name. Well, here's what we're currently working with...

Hi all,
Here's the current first pass for the background render. Once the main characters are done, it will probably be revisited a little. Most of the render effort is going on the them.
Also, just a quick heads up — we're not only redoing the cover art for the Richard Struggle series, but also the novella and collect...

Hey, all!
Thought you might appreciate this.
We've now moved from the concept art stage and are working hard towards the final cover art for the first three novellas and the collection. Here's the line art we're currently working with.
Let me know what you think.

You may or may not notice that we have new goals! Why, you may ask?
Well, when I first created my Patreon program, I wasn't entirely sure how it was going to work out. Would it successful? Would anyone be interested? I had a lot of cool ideas, but it's taken me a whole year to get my head around what Patreon...
2018-11-09 18:45:26 +0000 UTC View PostNot much extra for the updates this week,
We'll be having another Richard Struggle release on Sunday, and on Wednesday it'll be DP&SW.
See you then!

This Sunday we'll be having the next part chapter for DP&SW.
Still working on the cover art for the books.
Should have some more work in progress to show you over the next few days.
See you on Sunday!

Firstly, I missed my Wednesday deadline, as many of you noticed. My apologies. As I stated before, this is an experiment, and there are still kinks that need to be worked out.
In future, if I miss a deadline, that deadline is going to be skipped rathe...

Quick update this week. Lots of cool stuff happening behind the scenes. Getting ready for a major overhaul of my Patreon page, but its not ready for prime time yet.
This Sunday we'll be having the next part chapter for Project D.
Then on Wednesday I plan to have ready another part chapter for Richard Strugg...

2018-10-07 17:41:02 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
It's time for another update! And I've got some important things to talk about.
This Sunday, we'll be having a chapter part release for the Richard Struggle Series. You might have noticed that I said, 'this Sunday,' rather than, 'this week,' as I occasionally have in the past.' That's because, with the one year a...
2018-10-05 19:20:39 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
No chapter updates this week as I've been working hard on a bunch of stuff to better the business side of my writing, something I've been neglecting somewhat over the past few months. In short, chapter releases and other regular events were becoming so complicated that I was both letting important things fall ...
2018-09-28 18:09:41 +0000 UTC View PostEvening all (or not, if it's not evening for you),
I'm not 100% certain what's going to be coming out this week. I've been working on the next Sword Singer chapter, and part of me wants to push to finish that, but another part of me wants to start working on Richard Struggle again.
I'm torn.
Other than that, the ne...
2018-09-21 18:40:00 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
This week, I released the next chapter part of project D a little early. About five minutes ago, in fact.
I'll probably spend most of Saturday and Sunday cleaning that up and working on outlines for future chapters of my original projects, so stay tuned for that.
Next week, I'm very definitely going to be ...
It's update time.
This week, we're going to get the next part chapter of Project D. This might not be the last chapter part of the current chapter. We'll have to see.
That is all.
See you on Sunday!

2018-09-02 20:20:37 +0000 UTC View PostEvening all,
First off, I was really happy about the way the bonus chapter for Project D came together last week. So, what I'm going to do with that is rather than post it to the Gray Mailing List, I'm going to put that up as an independent chapter a week after the next chapter, which is still in the works, goes live.

Still struggling with the latest chapter of project D, but I don't want to go another week without putting anything out, so I'm going to take a few days to relax and unblock myself by writing a Gray Mailing List bonus chapter — something short(ish) and fluffy. It's been quite a while since we've had one of them so...
2018-08-24 15:02:35 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
This Sunday we may or may not have the next draft part for Project D. The reason for this is that this part will almost certainly be the last part of the chapter, and it also includes the climax/resolution for the last few chapters. As such I want to A. get it right, and B. make it as long as it n...

Dalvir (Name changed from Arthur) wakes up in a forest. He was just in a forest, right? This one's slightly different. The chapter name probably gives away part of the reason why.

This week on Sunday we'll be having the next draft chapter of the Sword Singer story.
Also, in other news, I recently took delivery of my new windows machine, which means that I can actually start working on my streams myself rather than having to through the incredibly duck-tape solution we're currently using...

This Sunday, I'll be releasing the next draft chapter part of Project D. I had hoped that I might be able to do the same with the delayed chapter for Richard Struggle, but that doesn't look like it's happening.
On the other side of things, I've done some serious outlining for Sword Singer going forward and I can'...
