It's About Saving Yourself Ch 12

You know, it's only as I am about to post this that I realized I said I was gonna do an informational post, and completely forgot.

...

Sorry about that, that was unprofessional of me. In my defense. Work got CRAZY this week. I got home brain blasted every day and vaguely had the 'I need to write' idea in my brain. And wrote this chapter.

Had my brain not been leaking out my ears, I probably would have remembered that I meant 'write the informational post.' View Post

Kaiju Slaying For Death and Profit Ch 10

Early for once! 8D

This week was rough. I'll tell ya hwat.

Trip went well. I'll probably write up a writing update tomorrow. Go into detail on how stuff is going. And ask for some of ya'll's opinions.

But for now! Chapter 10. Hope ya'll like it, lemme know your thoughts on the comments.

He Who Fights Demons Ch 3

And final chapter of what's written so far for this one.

I will post the image of the build at the end of this chapter.

As with my other two Waifu Catalog fics. The build is a lot closer to 'guideline' than 'hard rule', because I'm using it as a prompt to write a (hopefully) good story. Not as a hard ruleset.

He Who Fights Demons Ch 1

So. I was hoping to write like, a lot. Write the next chapter of Kaiju Slaying. But work happened and boy howdy did work happen. We had a bit of a slow week and now we're paying for that with a dump truck of shit rolling down hill.

And I'm going on a trip Thursday. So I won't be getting much if any writing done. So! To not lose my streak. Have this!

I am planning to have this be one of like, three stories that are written on commission. By which I mean my main focus is on the ma...

Okay. I know it's past midnight. But I haven't gone to bed. So it's still the weekend.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it! Streak unbroken baby!

On a more serious note. Sorry for the delay. The work week was rough, and the weekend not very restful. This chapter was written in snippets of time stolen from other things. Still, I am happy with it, otherwise I would not post it.

Please let me know what ya'll think!

Writing Update 17/07/2024

Heyo. Sorry for being late on the writing update. The weekend and the week so far were both rough.

The next chapter of Saving Yourself is currently sitting at just under 900 words, so it's a bit behind schedule. But I'mma do my outmost to get that written up for ya'll. That said, I do feel the need to inform you guys. I'll be traveling out of the state next week. I'll be leaving Wednesday evening, and not coming back until late Saturday. So chances are I won't be able to post something ...

Kaiju Slaying For Death and Profit Ch 9

Sorry for the late post. The week was long and the weekend hectic. Frankly it's almost like the weekends just no longer belong to me.

Excuses aside. Here is chapter 9.

I was tempted to push forward to another action bit. But I'm doing my best to pace this in a way that somebody binging it can enjoy it. And for that there needs to be somewhat slower paced chapters and whatnot. And I don't want this story to devolve into 'monster of the week'.

Anyways! Please gimme a commen...

Sorry for the late upload. work was exceedingly ugh. But I powered on through!

The vast majority of the chapter was written in July 4th. Cause I had the day off.

Was right back to work Friday, and that was really heavy. Hence, late. Ish.

Hope you like the chapter, and do please drop me a comment! Lemme know what you liked and didn't and all of that!

Writing Update 01-07-2024

Good evening, afternoon, or morning to all of you beautiful people. Time for another writing update.

Next on the docket is It's About Saving Yourself. My original plan was to get a leg-up on getting it written over the weekend, really start the week strong and hopefully have a couple thousand words written. Finish it up early in the week, and start writing the next chapter of Kaiju Slaying while I take a few days to refine and edit the chapter so it is at its best for posting.

Kaiju Slaying For Death and Profit Ch 8

My plan was to post this tomorrow, give myself a bit of time to give it one final read through. But circumstance has conspired against me. I won't be home all weekend, which means no access to my PC and spotty access to the internet.

Still, I hope you find it enjoyable, and if you notice and grammar issues...uhh...it was the grammar goblins, clearly not my fault.

Drop me a comment and lemme know what you thought! Pic of Waifu Catalog build at the bottom.

Weekly update. 24-06-2024

You may be wondering why, if you live in burger unit land, the date format is day->month->year.

It is purely because I find it more aesthetically pleasing. Moving on!

I figured it would be a good idea to start doing some weekly updates, letting you know how the last week of writing went. Ya'll are literally financing my ability to eat and pay my medical bills at the same time, so other than writing enjoyable stuff, it is the least I owe the lot of you.

And here is chapter 9. Had this one mostly finished. Next in the docket is Kaiju Slaying.

Been dealing with some things AFK that have severely limited the time I could actually be on my computer and/or write. Happy to say that is (mostly) dealt with, and I should hopefully be able to write more consistently.

I'll shoot for at least a bi-weekly updates. But I can only promise to try. I do work full time at a job that habitually heaps a lot of overtime on the enginee...

I Cannot Thank You Enough.

When I started this thing yesterday. I had resolved myself to it being a quiet, empty graveyard. To needing to toil for months before anyone would deign to deem me worthy of a tip.

Being entirely honest. A large part of me is waiting for the other shoe to drop. For someone to laugh and point at the camera, and tell me I fell for a joke done in very poor taste.

I'll not mince words, this was something of a desperation move. And the immediate support that I've received has been very...

I needed to find someplace to spend my paycheck, the idiots trying to doom the world were paying me quite well, but I’d gotten to spend next to none of my money.

Our intrepid...Hero? Decides he must take some matters into his own hands.

Unfortunately for all involved, his idea of subtly dealing with an issue, is throwing a flashbang at it and dealing with it after it's been blinded and deafened.

The best kind of stealth, is when no one is conscious enough to tell anyone you were there.

Ch 3 is Ch 2, but from the perspective of someone who was not temporarily turned into a cybernetic demigod.

In these types of stories, I do think that there can be something that is lost by not having a 'street level view' included. The key is, of course, in moderation.

Do please drop me a comment telling me what you like and don't like!
