I’m not dead

I’m not dead, if anyone was wondering. I’ve just been crazy busy lately, but I’m sure that you all know how that is with the season and everything.

Anyway, I guess the news is no news. I’m trying to work on the chapter of Terra but when I barely have a chance to sleep, or even blog, I don’t have the time to write a 20,000 word chapter. For that I am sorry, but this won’t go on forever. Another couple weeks of 6 day work weeks and one day weekends, and I hit 3 day workweeks and 4 day weekends, thanks to the holidays. After that I should resume writing regularly. 

You can consider it a hiatus if you’d like, personally I wish I could write ‘til my heart’s content but it’s just not happening that way. But we can always hope. 

Thanks as always for reading, and I hope that I can make it up to you eventually. The next 3 chapters of Terra are gonna be real good…assuming I can pull it off right. Well I did the first 30 pretty decent so I guess we’ll have to see. 

PS to anonymous I'm not going to drop the story, it just takes time to get it done. I know I suck lately but having to work twice as many hours and deal with the whole hullaballoo, and only having one day off a week hurts.

Peace

Congrats Terra on 2 years

Hey everyone, a whole bunch of shit’s been hitting me and all of that. Don’t really have a lot of time to hit everything in detail but I’ll let you know what’s up.

Firstly for the second anniversary of the day I started Terra, I posted a companion reader for it, going into detail about some of the characters, and some of the major plot points. Few enjoyed it but I, as always, appreciate those who did.

Beyond that I’m back on the horse writing the next chapter of Terra. Now that I’ve sprung past the wall that was holding me back, I think that I’ve come up with exactly what I need to really get the chapter going. There are a lot of loose threads that I still have to go in and take care of, tying them up into a tapestry of a story… that or fail spectacularly. But hey, either way it should be spectacular.

Yeah, other than that, just dealing with life and what it throws at me.

Oh, one more thing, a head’s up really. Right after thanksgiving my job gets incredibly busy. Those who read last year at the same time know what I mean. It depends on how much I work, and what else I’m doing for recreation, but there’s a chance that my writing will decrease significantly, especially as I need the money. But c’est la vie. 

PS Sorry it took me forever to answer your question anonymous, but yes I will write a sequel to that, when the inspiration hits. Just so you know the best way to contact me is via IM and not blog comment. Thanks as always for reading.

I’ll get back to you guys soon. Take it easy.

Peace

Devil in the Details is Done

Well hey everyone, here’s the newest news on what’s going on.

Firstly I apologize for taking so long to get to you, Sunday was my birthday and I was busy with the family and everything. I haven’t had a lot of time to sit down and really work on things.

Now the biggest news as of the moment is that I’ve posted the last chapter of the Devil in the Details, Copulation. It’s really more of the obligatory sex scene, but it does serve to show their love and compassion and hell, a sex scene never hurt. 

The next thing I’m up to, while not working on the next chapter of Terra directly, is a sort of companion chapter for the story. I just wanted to do something special for the second anniversary of the story, and realized that this is going to be a long chapter, one I’m not going to be too likely to post anytime soon. So I’m going to go into a little bit of detail about the various characters in the story, some of the technology, looking back at some of the points in the story, and a background look at how a chapter gets written and the prewriting and thought that goes into it. Maybe it’ll be something interesting, or at least worth reading.

Anyway, I’m just taking the time off to recover, hopefully I’ll have something worth reading soon. Hope you enjoy the story and I’ll do my best to post soon.

Peace

Here in my car I feel safest of all...

Hey guys, lots of stuff have happened since I was last here, so sorry that I haven’t been able to update it. This is still the condensed version.

Well firstly, and most importantly, I got myself a car. It’s a nice midsized car, a black 2005 Nissan Sentra. Low mileage on it too, and runs great. Except for the fucking tires, which I have to get replaced. That sucks but everything else is a go with it. I’m super psyched about that, it’s got everything I want in a car, low gas mileage(26hw/20ct) it’s safe, handles great, it’s got good room in the backseat and the trunk, I do love the color, and it’s even got a cd/auxiliary in. 

It’s gonna be a pain to pay everything off but it’ll be good in the end. With the extra hours I’m going to work it will almost cover that, once I take care of everything. The down payment for the car and the insurance was a bitch, and these tires won’t help either, but I’ve got a car and it’s on the road. 

Other than that I have a mouthful of cavities, and a root canal so bad it has to be done in 2 days. That sucks but whatever, a week from Saturday I’ll have that taken care of. Well one of them, if I can afford it. 

Oh and the thing that most of you probably care about, I posted my new story, Devil in the Details, at FP, to little fanfare. Oh well, I enjoyed writing it, and I suppose that’s all that matters. It’s my entry for my Halloween challenge, and I’m glad to see that a lot of people decided to contribute something, I was starting to get worried that there wouldn’t be much of anything to be honest. There was a lot of interest in the challenge at first, but then after about 2 weeks or so nobody said a thing. Thank god there was a revival of interest there, or else it’d completely fail. 

Well sorry to drop everything at you so quick but I’ve got to get ready to drive my car to work. Have a good one folks.

Since we've no place to go...

Hey everyone. It’s snowing. Huh, well, that’s neat. I hope that the winter isn’t too long then. But it probably will be, the summer was especially mild.

Anyway, I’ve finished the rough draft of my story and I’m working on the kinks. A lot of it is in language, I’ve tried to strike a balance between old timey ‘Thee thou thine tis etc’ language, and more contemporary language. Though the most important thing is telling the story and making it both interesting, and good. I think that the beginning is well done, but later on in the story it needs more work. But I’m about 25% done editing already, which is a good pace.

Also, my tooth is killing me. I’m seeing a dentist about that, but I’m hoping that it doesn’t hurt me too much until that’s taken care of. Lord knows it can’t be as bad as the wisdom tooth I had yanked out.

Well, hopefully there’ll be more stuff, and things in the future. Have a good one folks, I’ll see you around when I do.

Sunday, Sunday! SUNDAY!!!....and also Saturday.

Hey everyone, just another quickie to jump in and say a little something about what’s been going on.

Anyway I finished the main plot of the Halloween contest entry, and now I’m working on getting the sex scene done. I had a really busy weekend, and instead of tackling the scene I haven’t done a single thing on it. Oh well. I’ve still got almost 3 weeks and I really think it’s come together nicely. Hopefully people will enjoy it.

I’m also thinking of working on the disclaimers and so on in my stories, cleaning them up, adding new information and removing old, try to make it look a little bit more professionally or maybe at least nicer. I’ve considered posting on storiesonline and I wanted to convert the files to html before I do so and link to my asstr site. Some new feedback might be nice.

Yeah, sorry this is so short, but a lot of my weekend was eaten up yesterday and today helping out family. Plus kinda bummed that the Sox were eliminated and the Pats lost in OT. At least Family Guy was good.

I'm not dead

Just being lazy. Don't have a lot of time to talk right now but I wanted to say that I'm not dead. Not much is new really, just eating up time waiting for my berfday. Still working on the story, almost done the main story and waiting to get that and the main sex scene done. Other than that just staying alive and trying to get stuff done. I'll blog more this weekend, not that I expect there to be much more to blog, but y'know, that's about every blog. 

PS thanks to the two anonymous comments for posting. Yeah I have healthcare but it doesn't help if you don't know what it is. Turns out it's fatty liver. Not good but I guess it could be worse. And thanks for reading Terra. I hope to have something new for people to read soon.

God does anyone read this…?

Hey folks, what’s going on? There’s not a whole lot going on with me lately, but I wanted to let everyone know what was going on with me.

Firstly, I went and did the whole ultrasound thing on Friday. I was going to write an update, but there wasn’t really anything to update. I did it, it happened, and I’m waiting for the results. I’m hoping to hear back sometime this week, but first they have to send it to my doctor, and then he’s got to look at it and inspect it. I’m guessing that they do all of this by some type of postal service, god I’d hate to imagine them doing it either via UPS or email.

When I know I should let you know. If you care, honestly, I don’t know how many people really give a fuck. I mean I don’t want to BAWWW here so I won’t. I’m not looking for sympathy from complete and total strangers. I’m not an attention whore, I don’t want people to worry about me or anything. If something happens I’ll let you know, otherwise I’ll just try to struggle on through the daily shit that we all deal with. If I could get over these allergies and breathe easier that’d help. Sorry if that sounds rude but I don’t really know how else to phrase it.

Anyway, beyond that the FP story challenge is chugging along, I guess. Haven’t had a lot of people go and write stories, but I’m hoping that they take their time and come up with something good. I’m working on my own thing, word count wise, its almost 7000 words, which I figure will be just over 1/3 of the story. Once I finish the sex scene I plan an action scene, followed by the climax, another action scene, and finally one last sex scene as some falling action. I know I’m being genericly vague but I don’t want to ruin any of it. I’m still probably a month from posting it anyway, I plan on posting the story on my birthday, one chapter a day or so. Or I might wait to finish it on Halloween, or maybe the day before Halloween. I haven’t decided yet.

Watched the new Fox shows tonight. Simpsons was slightly better than it has been lately. Cleveland Show wasn’t that good but I wasn’t really expecting that much from it. Family Guy is good, better than I expected over the last season. The Robot Chicken world had to be my favorite. The American Dad was better, they seem to have found a way to make Steve less annoying, or perhaps I have just gotten used to it.

So I beat Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2…in under 10 hours. Dang, what a short game. Seriously, it was good, but nothing special. Not worth the money for sure, maybe when it comes down to like 20 bucks, but it was ok. Still not sure what I’m going to move onto next, I’ve been testing the waters with Atelier Iris 2, it’s better than the first but I already played the third, which was much better. I dunno, I guess I’ll come up with something.

God I hate allergies worse than anything, having difficulty breathing is the worst, it sucks shit. But forget it. anyway, that’s it for now. God does anyone read this…?

New stuff, will eventually be old stuff

Hey folks, just a little update on how things are going.

Firstly the FP Halloween Story Challenge is going pretty well. There’s been a good amount of interest and a couple people have completed stories already. It’s still early and there’s plenty of time if you’re interested in either reading or writing a story.

Beyond that I’ve gotten going on my story, which is coming together. I’m trying to pace it right, assuming it’s going to be about 20,000 words, and working on making sure that I leave enough room to cover everything. There’s basically going to be six scenes, though the first two will be short, and the last one will be an eventual sex scene. The first two have amounted to around 4500 words so far, so there should be plenty of room, but I’m starting to worry that it might seem like a disjointed series of events rather than a cohesive story. Idk, we’ll see.

Reminder I’ll get my liver checked on Friday, well, I won’t know for a bit but at least I’m on the road to knowing. And hey, 3 day weekend is nice too.

Also, the new chapter of Terra is temporarily on hold for the next little bit, until I get the Halloween story taken care of. I’m hoping to have something before it gets to be too late.

Anyway, that’s all I’ve got for tonight. Take it easy folks.

Whats new pussycat?

Well hey everyone, it’s Sunday night and time for an update.

Firstly I want to correct myself. Shortly after telling you all that it might be my kidney, I received the results of my blood/urine tests. Apparently it’s now my liver, or at least that’s what we’re thinking now. So I get to have an ultrasound on it. Not exactly what I wanted but maybe sometime I’ll find out what’s wrong with me. It’s on Friday, but chances are I won’t know for sure until the weekend after that.

Moving on…I decided to go forward with my idea for a Futanari Palace Halloween Story Challenge. I don’t want to call it a contest, because I don’t want to make it competitive. I’m actually surprised at the amount of interest that has been shown, far more than I had initially expected. I hope that as many people that are interested actually write and finish a story.

I’m working on an idea for a story, but I think I’ve got the base of it cemented. I don’t want to spoil it but I might wind up pushing the 20,000 word limit. Damn it, who made up that stupid rule?

Also I’ve been working on Terra, although I’m afraid it might be on hiatus while I write the Halloween story, then I’ll pick it back up. I’m only like maybe 15% done the next chapter anyway.

The reason for that is, of course, Mana Khemia 2, which I finally beat this week. It was a good game, a fun one, though very repetitive. But I’ve moved on from a repetitive 70 hour jRPG to a repetitive 20ish hour beat em up, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. It’s basically the same as the other games based on that engine, X-Men Legends1-2, Fantastic Four, and its predecessor. The storyline is more interesting, because it’s based on the whole Civil War storyline in the Marvel universe, although it sorta sucks because instead of actually splitting up the camp into two different groups, you can basically play with just about everyone except for a few, like Iron Man on the pro-registration side, and Captain America on the anti-registration side. Someone like Wolverine, who was very anti being on Stark’s side, or Spiderman, who actually revealed his identity being on Captain America’s side, is kinda silly. But whatever, it is a video game based off a comic book, so it’s all good. Thankfully the repetitive nature of the game won’t have me as sucked into it as I was with Mana Khemia 2.

I’ll let you all know what’s up with me when I know. Frankly not knowing sucks the most, but there’s nothing I can do. If any of you care, I’m still alive, and I’m not dying, at least I hope. I’m just not 100%. Dunno if I’ll ever be.

Anyway, have a good one folks.
