September Update (No Creative Titles Today)

Hello, dear Reader,

5-7 is here! With the title: Arrest.

Read about what happens to the Purist Alina, and just what Buddy and Hound will do next. The ascetic has been caught blue-handed, but was she the sole perpetrator?

Find out in this latest chapter of The Limbo Chronologies.

I’m not a 100% happy with this chapter, but after FIVE sessions of proofing and cutting adding cutting and adding again, I’ve found its best first draft form for you guys today. Book five is my very first experiment in a who-dun-it, style, and though I disdain tropes, I know that one can learn from them. Thus this particular book with regards to the progression of the mystery and its culmination, will most likely be heavily changed in the second draft!

But the general story elements will not change. The outpost, murder, and culprit will remain the same, but the means of presentation will not.

This arc in Buddy’s and the rests story is, like I’ve mentioned before, necessary setup for what is to come. It introduces us finally, if only a little, to the Purists and Atlanteans, and opens up more about the Growers.

Also, Wolf is very important. Is he an antagonist, or a supporting character? He claims to work for the Two who you’ve seen in the Interlude chapters, but just who are they? What are they? And why the hell have they kidnapped Bee? Some of you probably have come to some conclusions already, but I shan’t ask anymore questions lest I spoil the secrets that this world revolves around.

For those of you who have been grinding their teeth asking: WHAT ABOUT BEE AND HILDI FROM CHAPTER ONE? I say, wait for the next chapter. Or possibly the one after that.

5-8 is in the nebulous one or two sentence synopses that I plucked from the aethereal zip file in my brain form, and I shall begin writing it come tomorrow.

Today I’m off to a friend’s engagement party, so writing-wise there won’t be much.

Please enjoy the latest addition to our strange Odyssey on Dead Earth.

Thank you, Dear Reader, for being here.

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

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, so if you want to continue reading, I can’t stop you. But b...
