Under each chapter of the book just as a reminder.  

All of this means that:

  1. You are free to share this book with anyone. HOWEVER, you are not allowed to change the posts or documents or profit from their distribution.
  2. You may print copies of the work for personal use. BUT, again, you may NOT profit in doing so.
  3. You may not change the text of the work in any way or imply that you wrote the book or anything of that nature.
  4. No derivatives. I don’t want people adding chapters to the book or altering the work in any way. Nor am I providing exemptions to fanfics. (Explanation in 5.) I do encourage fan art, though, provided you do not attach it to the documents, and clearly explain that the art is NOT mine or related officially to the project.
  5. Until I say otherwise, I am NOT providing exemptions to fanfics, (this goes under the no derivatives clause), because as of yet, I’ve not fully brought to life all of my notes, and thus if it were to happen that someone wrote a fanfic similar to that which I’ve already written, but not published, I’d be in quite the pickle. (Basically, I don’t want someone to write a fanfic, then sue me for compensation if something similar comes up in the official project.) I don’t want to, nor do I intend to steal anyone’s ideas. If you were to write something anyway, if it related to my work in any way, you waive all rights to that work.
  6. If you give feedback or suggestions regarding this work via email, a separate forum, or in the comments, you waive all rights to those suggestions and waive all rights to compensation for your help. Feedback is necessary, and always welcome. However, don’t sue me if I actually decide to take some suggestions.

Introduction

By
  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To start, and to explain myself a little, just for context’s sake, I’m a twenty-six and counting as of yet unpublished author.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...

Writing and Me

By

Writing is hard. Even now, as I type into this blank docx file, I struggle to come up with the proper words to describe just how hard it is. It becomes far more difficult, at least for me, when writing something like this, instead of prose. (This being the main reason why I’ve put off doing another blog post, even though I chide myself in doing so). That is not to say that I didn’t have difficulties in writing fiction a few years back. Those difficulties came, not from language, but from a skewed mindset on how to embark on projects, and how to write fiction in general. So, as I work on part two of The Limbo Chronologies, and edit part one, I thought about sharing what helps me, and how I go about things. I’ll start with telling you about my routine. Routine Put simply, I sit down every day, (usually in the morning), I open my hour/word tracker excel sheet, I clock in, I write. I use the Pomodoro technique, (mostly). 25 minutes of deep focus, 5 minute break, repeat, until I finish ...

Project Update: Steady as she goes

By
Time for another post! Welcome, you faceless reader! You’ve probably noticed chapter two in the sidebar. Perhaps you’ve already read it. Perhaps you enjoyed it. Thank you, regardless. I just finished part two’s third chapter’s first draft, (what a mouthful), and I find myself in a weird spot. Personal Now that I’ve taken it upon myself to start this Blog and to post at least semi-regularly, I feel as though an element of carelessness regarding the story has been stymied. That’s not to say that I’m careless, or that I don’t take my writing seriously. Rather, I feel as though my headspace is different when writing part two, compared to when I was writing part one. In a way, I’ve gone against the ‘writing with the door closed,’ modality, as Stephen King puts it. The thought of everything I write being, not for me personally, but for everyone, does something to the wrinkly fleshy bits in my noggin. That is something that should only be reserved for third, fourth or the nth draft,...
