So... I've been pretty silent since I finished Fragmented. But I'm alive and well and I've been up to no good.
So, let's talk about it!
With Fragmented completed, I've been taking time away from it to work on other writing projects. I have three in the works right now (an indirect sequel to Fragmented, an urban fantasy, and a dystopian sci-fi novel). I don't want to get too deep into it right now, because...
I'm working on a visual novel!
Yeah, so, because I'm overflowing with ideas, I'm working on a game. It will probably be relatively small, but I can't say for sure at this stage. I'm typing up the script currently. I've been working in Ren'Py, and so far it's going well.
I can't say much about my game plot yet. It will probably be an exploration of depression and anxiety? It's going to turn out weird for sure, and it won't be a dating sim. And I'm not great with art, so I'll be doing and hoping for the best. I think it'll be a good experience.
But! I still have some plans for Fragmented too.
I'm taking a break from it for now, but I plan to do more edits and polish the book up. Once I'm satisfied, I might publish it in a more official capacity. That is to say, set the book up with a print on demand service and sell physical copies.
I need to do more research on this and look into some different services. I'm not an expert in this area and since my goal isn't to make money, I'd like to put the pricing as low as I can so that it's cheaper for anyone who wants to buy a copy. But physical copies have production costs, so... There's only so much that can be done.
But still, that's what I'm planning.
I've honestly been putting off this blog post. There's a lot of things that I want to do and a lot of things I've been working on. I'm trying to prioritize, but I also have a real life with a job. That takes up a major part of my time (and I haven't been able to work on creative pursuits half as much as I want to).
The good news is that I will only upload completed projects to the site! That means that while it might take a little while to upload a novel, once it's being serialized on here, there's a guaranteed ending. I won't put out anything incomplete.
So, yes! That's the current state of things.
I'm going to aim to post on my blog more often too. I think I'll try for once a month (at the minimum). I'd like to keep things up to date so that you know I'm not dead.
Not sure I can commit to that, because I fumble when I don't have much to say. But I'll do my best!
Also, if you want my most active social media feed, you can find me on Twitter. I have a BlueSky account as well, but I haven't been as active on there, since it's quieter. You can find links to my social media links at the bottom of every page on this site, so just scroll down if you want a peak.
Anyway, thanks for reading! I'll try to have more updates and details soon.
Oh. Also...
I did some doodles for a thing on Twitter. So, here's a look before you go...
