It Has Happened

By on

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:

JATULI

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, 31st of January, (I hope I get to post this today; internet is pretty bad), and the bags beneath my eyes are vividly purple. The ship has a steady roll, causing me to lean forward and back toward my laptop screen as though I’ve drunk a half a bottle of liquor.

If this post comes out later than the 31st, I’m truly sorry.

But now, here’s 3-3. Read it and enjoy,

Thank you for reading. I’ll see you next Saturday!

Introduction

  Welcome, My name is Nicholas H.O. Tolvanen. Or Hot for short. This abbreviation, sadly, is not descriptive. My parents decided to split my worldly title perfectly in half, (be that on purpose or not), just like I myself am a half-and-half creature. From my mother’s side I got N and H, while from my father’s, O and T. Anglo and Finnish respectfully. The focus, however, of this blog shan’t be me, good reader, nor my names, for they don’t really matter. This new one being one in a long list of pen names I have. Though I do intend to share more of myself in posts like these, the focus of this blog is my project… The Limbo Chronologies© To start, and to explain myself a little, just for context’s sake, I’m a twenty-six and counting as of yet unpublished author. I’m sitting on a finished Sci-fi novel manuscript that I’m trying to get traditionally published, and I’m starved of readers. The Limbo Chronologies, on the other hand, are something I’ve scribbled and sketched about since I th...

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 ...

Consistency

Photo by Geomancer448 under CC BY-SA 4.0 at Wikimedia.org Hello, reader. September is coming to an end and soon the spooky month, (October), begins. I must admit that from all the twelve months in the year, the tenth is one of my favorites. The air is perfectly crisp and cool, the wind in the trees is loud and biting, and the leaves begin their fiery withering before gently tumbling to the ground. That, and it’s dark, and people tend to go out less late in the evening, leaving the parks and city streets bare, wet, and cold. Leaving it all to me. Also, if you’ve noticed, Chapter three is out! It might take some time before chapter four is ready, seeing as I have simulation training starting next week, (Long days from eight to four), so I won’t have much time between thesis work and all the things I need to do (gym etc.). (That’s all on the Limbo Chronologies front). What are you waiting for? Go enjoy the new chapter! The rest of this post concerns a thought I’ve had about consistency, ...
