The Daily Grind - Chapter 198

“In order for me to write poetry that isn't political, I must listen to the birds, and in order to hear the birds, the warplanes must be silent”   -Marwan Makhoul-

For the last six years, Connie had been a practicing talk therapist.  She was aware, in an abstract way, that there were a lot of people who used that term for themselves, but skipped a lot of the important steps.  Steps like actually getting an education, for example, or actually ...

The Daily Grind - Chapter 197

finally edited this to my satisfaction.  here.

also a reminder that there are pdfs now.  someone asked about that today, because it can be hard to notice.  so i'm reminding everyone, there are pdfs for each chapter.

More of this, as I continue to roll toward having patrons ten chapters ahead before radically slowing down.

The Daily Grind - Chapter 196

And book four start.

“Get busy living, or get busy dying.” -Red, The Shawshank Redemption-

_____

A few years ago, James had been having a really bad day at work, stuck working hours that mostly served to make sure he was awake when normal businesses were closed and that he missed his weekly D&D game.

In a sentence that would be considered by future historians to be ‘an understatement’, he would later admit that this day had tur...

Update

As some astute patrons may have noticed, I have begun posting again.  Get used to that, I've been writing a lot while on "break".

After a lot of back and forth, I've settled on writing more of the not-actually-a-dungeon-core story, and it's been given it's actual name of Apparatus Of Change.  You'll be seeing more of that around here in the future.

Additionally, chapters of The Daily Grind resume tomorrow as well.

I'll be stabilizing at ten chapters ahead on Appara...

Apparatus Of Change - Chapter 7

As you may have guessed by the existence of this post, I've settled on what I really want to write more of.  If this isn't your top pick, then I'm sorry, but this is the one that resonated with me.  I may revisit the other stories in the future, but for now, it's time for good ol' high fantasy adventure!

Patrons will get to be at least ten chapters ahead on this at all times.  And you're gonna start getting those chapters right now.

As a reminder, .pdfs are now avai...

Kitty Cat Kill Sat - Chapter 63 - Finale (Revised)

I didn't fully like how the very end looked, so I cleaned it up a bit, added a few more lines.  It's still not perfect, but I'm much happier with it now.

Would you like to hear a joke?  It’s kind of a personal bit of gallows humor, and I’m not sure I can really put it into words.  A bit off the cuff, the sort of joke where my options are ‘laugh’ or ‘scream’.  But here goes.

I was never really alone, was I?

Update - Uh...Votes?

So.  It took me a while to go through the number of votes, because patreon is kinda weird about how it shows them and I wanted to make sure I counted right.  You see, a number of people give me money in other ways, and they also got votes on this, so it took a little while to make sure that I was actually, you know, counting your votes properly.

With all the votes totaled, here is where we sit.

Travels, with 15.  This kinda surprised me.  I didn't think it was ...

Update - Vote!

And now that everyone's had some time to read over the options, the vote goes up!  You all have until this time next week to get your opinions in, and figure out what will define a swath of my creative life for the next year.  Have fun!

Travels - Chapter 6

These ones might be well suited to narration, now that I think about it more.

The old reliable mobile home made its way across the landscape in rapid retreat.

Eight stories tall, the hermit geist that had taken the apartment building did it’s best to run through the Valley of Sparks.

The residents of the apartments sheltered behind defensive positions, counting bullets and wondering if the raider attack would finally be too much.

A step sounded, one of th...

Travels - Chapter 5

The old reliable mobile home made its way across the landscape with eager steps.

Eight stories tall, the hermit geist that had stolen the old world apartment building walked through the Blue Dunes.

The residents of the apartments, those that yet lived, were travelers.  Nothing bound them, nothing defined them, except their endless trek across the reshaped landscape.  The ones that lasted tended to be very dangerous.  The ones that didn’t tended to be wise, or dead...

Travels - Chapter 4

The old reliable mobile home made its way across the landscape with measured steps.

Eight stories tall, the hermit geist that had filled the walls and cracks of the apartment building maneuvered across the Field Of Steel And Glass.

Sometimes, the residents of the apartment would wait inside until their home passed through a particularly dangerous region.  Sometimes they wouldn’t have a choice, issues would be forced by the environment, or the locals.

The Officer hated...
