It Has Happened

Hello again Reader, So, it has happened indeed. Yours truly is currently (pun intended), at sea! I got a 4-6 week contract on an oil tanker, that looks a little something like this: and it’s looking like either end of February or early March I’ll be heading back home. Of course I hope it’ll be 6 weeks. More work means more pay means more money to support me while I focus on this passion of mine. This marks the first out of five or six posts from me to you, from sea to land. I’m on the dogwatch (4-8), so I’m pretty beat after both watches. I’ll try and have something for you to read, every week, but I doubt that book four will be ready before my contract is done. I’m not putting anything on hold, but as I’ve stated before, the pace will be slower for the time being. I hope you understand. I also hope you understand why this post will be on the shorter side. It’s 8:55 ship’s time at the moment, 31 st of January, (I hope I get to post this today; internet is pretty bad), an...

January Yammering

By on
Hello again Reader, 3-2 (i.e. book three chapter two, remember last post?), is here. Why has the ship stopped? Is something weird out there? Go find out in this week’s episode! *cough. I mean chapter! Not a long read, so go and enjoy! Regarding the ancillary things like the PDF and other things regarding the blog. Sorry, I’ve been getting distracted. Also, health problems again, but don’t want to worry you too much with those. I’ve started writing book four, yay! And without going in to spoilers, the vehicle theme from book three will continue, though not at sea, (whatever could that mean?). You’ll have to wait and see. And waiting is the name of the game for us all. Stream Of Thought: Some of us wait for summer, some of us for work, (like me), and some of you for new chapters of the BEST WEB NOVEL OUT THERE (tee-hee). January has felt like one long wait for me. Everyone else has run off to work after the holidays, while I just sit here, nervously glancing at my phone, expect...

Project Update: Book Three!

By on
Hello again Reader, Coming at you all with a shorter post today. The reason? Book three is here! Yay! Though I’ve not begun writing book four yet, I want to start publishing book three. I really like it and going forwards I will endeavor to keep the following books up until the novel’s end as concise and entertaining as both one and three. I already know, as an author does, how the story ends, but getting there will take some time. So, strap in and get your sea legs, (for you cybernetically enhanced people quite literally), and cast off upon the strange waters of the Mediterranean Gulf, where stranger things happen on the daily. Will our crew come upon something anomalous? Something unexpected? A sea-monster perhaps, or an unmarked island. Who knows. (I do, but I’m not telling yet). Book three, like book one, is six chapters. And I’ll get em to you in the following weeks. Again, I remind you that it is a first draft and thus can be rough in spots. I try my best to iron out any ...

Writing And Me, Part II

By on

  Hello again Reader, Your boy is coming at you from the wintry north with another post. Here, it’s a steady -20 to -28 °C; (around -17 to you Fahrenheit people), not a lot of snowfall, but what little has accumulated has stayed. Rime coats everything, and diesel engines and Teslas are fighting for their lives. So, in other words, winter has finally come! (It did around the 27 th , but it wasn’t as cold then.) Today’s post will be on the lengthy side because I want to talk about… write about, something I am passionate about. Just as passionate as I am about writing. But first! The Chronologies. Now that I’ve finished the first draft of book three, I am taking a break from writing anything new regarding our cybernetic friends. Instead, I’m just writing out some of my before-sleep-scenarios as short stories. You know the kind. The ones that shoot across your mind’s eye as you’re laying all quiet-like in bed. Sometimes I can’t get to sleep before I finish the scene in my mind, and I...

Hello 2026

  Hello again Reader, Festivities are done; thank God. Also, other things are done as well! I’ve completed book three of the Limbo Chronologies! I’m giving you the raw final three chapters of book two, then take a week break from posting chapters again to iron out the worst of my typos in book three. Speaking of releasing chapters, I’m sorry I’ve not gotten the final three of book two out for you earlier this week. I hate to use this card, but I’ve been sick once again. It’s been a theme for three years now, that either the day after Boxing day at the earliest or New Years Eve at the latest, I get hit by the seasonal flu. And man, did it hit me good this time. As I write, I’m still sick. Not as bad as previous years, but still. I’m in the breathing through my nose feels like I’m sniffing battery acid phase; not pleasant. But a Christmas miracle: I finished the first draft of book three, nevertheless. The party is off to the (significantly lowered) waters of the Mediterranean ...

A Retroactive Holiday Greeting,

By on

  Hello again Reader, Christmas came and went, and I hope you all had an amazing time. Hope you all got some good presents or bought some for others yourself. I for one got a Christmas tree coffee mug and some clothes from my girlfriend, and a pair of Christmas themed pajamas I’m currently wearing and will wear even when the season is over from my stepmom. Both cup and pajamas are as tacky as you can imagine (love it). The past week has been nothing but running from point A to Z with each letter in between as a pit stop. I moved back north on Saturday (got my deposit back, yay!), and since I’ve had my hands so full that I’ve only managed to squeeze out an hour or so of writing a day. Book three is advancing, though, and I think the stress of going about and letting my mind rest from writing has helped in advancing the story. As I’ve said before, book three is going to be shorter than two, more condensed, and though the arc will seem to have little to do with the grand scheme ...

Christmas Is Coming, And I'm Leaving (Home)

Courtesy of my shitty Gimp skills   Hello again Reader, Slam the brakes! How is December going by so fast? Just yesterday was the first of the month, and now you’re telling me that we’re already two weeks in, chestnuts roasting on an open fire and all. Impossible. Compared to the November marathon this has been a speedrun. In just one more week I’ll be moving back up north! I can’t quite process the fact that in just seven days I’ll be sitting in the car with my dad with a trailer filled with my things, driving up eight hours back to my hometown. I’ve lived here for three and a half years, give or take, and though I’ve been eagerly waiting for the move, it just doesn’t feel real now that it’s so close. I only have one more week here in this 20 square meter cell with the loft I sleep in. One more week of solitude. One more week of the life I built here, then, never again. I’ve no intentions to move back this far south, so the day I leave is the day I leave. Sure, I’ll have to ...
