3 Years To 30

By on

Hello again, Reader,

May is ending! I turned 27 on the 27th and had an amazing birthday all things considered. The cook made a delicious Biscoff cheesecake and I had my guilty-pleasure food for dinner. (Mac and Cheese!) Also, an officer and the 8-12 watch, (both my age), made me a horrendous AI slop image using an old army photo of mine for a birthday card. It was hilarious and my heart was warmed from the thought they put into it. Even though I don’t condone use of AI in creative endeavors, I do give a pass for gag-gifts such as this.

Also, by next week’s post I’ll (hopefully) be home. Original crew change day was second of June, but due to delays and scheduling issues we’ll have change on either the 5th or 6th, which means, if the former and not the latter, come next Saturday I’ll be posting from the comfort of home.

And MAN am I in need of a holiday, a very long holiday, as a certain Hobbit once said. And to paraphrase him another time, after six weeks, (and a few days when I finally leave), of being on board, I do feel like butter scraped on too much bread.

Regarding the Chronologies, Book Five is bursting forth as dazzling images in my mind and it looks like my little break is coming to an end sooner than expected. To give a sneak peek (avoiding spoilers of course), things will happen, and characters will do things!

OH WOW HOW INSANE, who’d a thunk it?!

Also, how’d you like the art I commissioned? I love it and I’m also looking to commission more in the future from different artists! I love seeing different interpretations of the same thing, and if you’re an artist, please, don’t shy away from using my writings as inspiration. Or just hit me up!

Well, that’s it for now. I had another long rambling planned for today, but I can’t get my thoughts into appropriately articulated lines.

Yet.

Thank you, dear Reader, for stopping by and remember to download the Chronologies for FREE! You are also free to spread it around to friends and family! (Out of context that line sounds unintentionally malicious).

Anyways, I’m off to scratch down my onrushing thoughts.

I’ll see you next Saturday!

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 ...

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...

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, ...
