Thinking of you! Hope all is well. Happy to see you're still active :)

Ok hear me out (skip the first paragraph if you don’t care about or don’t read The Traveler Trilogy).
          
          I have the last two chapters of Cowboys and Angels 90% complete (I wrote them together since they’re an epilogue 1 and 2) and am hoping to finish them this week. Meaning I will be done with that humongous thing that took me like three years to write (the first chapter was uploaded in 2023 believe it or not) just in time for summer. I want to take my time off this summer (I am a high school teacher) to have a little fun with writing while I work on the outline for American Remains (the sequel to Cowboys and Angels and the final book in the Traveler Trilogy). It needs to be very well thought out and storyboarded before I start because the idea I have for it is really special and has been kicking around in my head literally since I started Pipe Bomb Dream like 5 years ago. That’s what I want to spend my summer doing.
          
          But I also don’t want to spend my summer idle or I’ll get out of practice with writing, so I’m doing a thing just for fun. 
          
          I just got into the Resident Evil games recently and was playing the Leon Must Die Forever DLC to RE9 and it occurred to me that Leon’s purgatory would be really similar to Arthur’s. They even both have a disease that makes them cough up blood in their games.
          
          And so an idea was born. I want to write an action-packed, swashbuckling, smut-filled, comedic novella with my limited time this summer, featuring Leon, Arthur, and The Ghoul from the Fallout show fighting their way through purgatory as a team to get to heaven. There will be zombies, there will be blood, there will be horses, and there will be penises. Think of it as Undead Nightmare 2, LMDF, and The Wasteland all rolled together in a hodgepodge of chaos that shouldn’t work but totally does.
          
          I’m going to write it anyway because it sounds ridiculously fun, but I am just curious. Would you read something like that?

Lord help me I just had idea for a Jack Marston x female OC story and now I have no idea what to do with myself because I have so many projects already but I REALLY want to write it.

I am back from my summer hiatus! There are new chapters of both Cowboys and Angels and Runaway Train up, so happy reading!
          
          If you’re curious about where I was and what I was doing, there are author’s notes in each of the new chapters that explain everything. I’ll also be posting a more detailed explanation with pictures (I went to Yellowstone and Grand Teton this summer) in Shower Thoughts soon, perhaps even this weekend.
          
          Happy Reading!

          This is a new story that I am working on 

Howdy 

In the spirit of Halloween, I have released my annual RDR2 Halloween special, and this year it's not a one-shot! It's a satirical take on The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe, and I had so much fun writing it! It's posted as the latest chapter in Traveler Trilogy One-shots like in years past, but it has nothing to do with that story. The title of the poem is "The Cowboah" and I may be biased, but I find it hilarious. I'll put a link to it below. Happy Halloween!

Guys I'm struggling.
          
          Work has been a lot more busy for me this year so I haven't had near as much time to write as in years past, and on top of that I think I've written myself into a corner with Cowboys and Angels, and I'm also starting to worry that it's getting too long and boring, and that Jenny is starting to annoy you all. 
          
          I have seasonal depression, too. I'm on meds for it but they don't always fix the problem entirely and I'm going through a bout of that now that the weather is getting cooler and the days are getting shorter. I'm fucking homesick for Texas, my writing lately has been a bunch of soulless shit, and my pride in it is plummeting. I'm trying to keep up with weekly updates, but it's extremely hard when I'm starting to really hate the story and be extremely critical of the way I write.
          
          The worst part is I don't have a damn clue how to fix it without taking another break from writing, which I don't want to do. I WANT to write, just not C&A at the moment. I want to write another short story or another chapter of Runaway Train. The issue then becomes, though, that my self esteem as a writer has taken a massive hit as well.
          
          I started writing as early as the sixth grade. It was complete shit, but it was words on paper. I kept writing through high school, but instead of encouraging me, my ass of a mother decided to make sure I knew I was a horrible writer who would never be published. There was screaming and yelling and it was very traumatic for me. I've tried my hardest to improve as a writer since then, but it's hard. I still hear my mother's voice all the time when I get like this, yelling at me that I'm not that good a writer, and I never will be.
