          A new beginning and old endings.
          
                  Hello my friends! It has been awhile. I hope you have all had a wonderful holiday. I have gotten a bit of writing done this holiday, unfortunately I did not get around to writing a holiday themed story. But I have begun work on a crow fanfiction. Which remains my first priority until compelted.
          
          
          
                  ToTS Plans: Currently Worldbuilding is taking a side line. It is my third priority right now, A Goncharov fanfic and Crow fanfic being the two above it. I am hoping that the software I use for worldbuilding will get updated with a materials page. As I have a few different ideas for metals and materials that will be present in the world of Acherion. 
          
                  TCB Plans: I will be moving all of my stories over to Ao3. Wattpad had a good run for me, but it just doesn't feel right, I don't like how its formatted (Among other things). I will keep my account up and leave the past stories on it, but will not be updating the account any more.
          
                  Throw Away Plans: I still have a few different stories in the works, though these have been postpone until an unknown date. Most likely it will be in February, I may write a themed piece for valentines if I can get over my usual tradition for valentines. 
          
                  Fanfiction Plans: Crow fanfiction! Frank and Ling will make a lovely couple! You will experience going to see Goncharov (The fake movie that Tumblr made up for shits and giggles) in theatres as a child. I don't know how I am going to do it, but I will. Things will work out.
          
          
          
                  That is all for today my friends! I have put off the update for a bit due to some... unfortunate mental health slope. But we are back now. Back and gonna win. I will be taking things slow for my own sake. Have a splendid week my friends!
          
          Please note: This will be my last post to this account. There will be no more updates on Wattpad from me. Everything will now be hosted on Ao3

          Beep Beep Boop
          
                  Hey my friends! How are you all doing? I am doing pretty good myself, I am on break and watching the snow fall. It has been a long few weeks but I finally can sit down and scream at the top of my lungs write a good few sentences. I am hoping to get some writing done this holiday.
          
          ToTS Plans: Currently I am working on some more creatures to fill the world of Acherion, I will be putting aside the worldbuilding project (Which will be referred to as Project Gaia for shits and giggles), to finish some other projects I want to get down (Which will be discussed below).
          
          TCB Plans: Beep Beep Boop Boop. Currently I still have the same number of WIPs, I might get one or two done this holiday depending on how things go, but most of my efforts will be dedicated into the throwaway and fanfiction sections of my work.
          
          Throw Away Plans: What an ironic name... "Throw aways" for stories I have no intention of throwing away, and instead share them with you guys. I have a few different stories bouncing along, as well as a few different prompts I wanna try my hand at writing, currently this section is number two on my list of priorities.
          
          Fanfiction: Anyone know how to write a date between two crows? Cause I don't. Yet. I will soon figure out the best way to do this, currently it is my priority to get done, as I am writing it for some one who means a lot to me. My second Priority is a Goncharov fanfiction where the reader is watching the movie in a theatre as a child in 1973.
          
          That is all for today my friends! I am thinking of abandoning wattpad. I dont like the site to much and I am much more inclined to use Ao3 for everything. I would still keep my account up, but would not be posting any more stories to the site and instead have everything on Ao3.

          It has been awhile my friends....
          
          Hey my friends! Sorry for the extended period of radio silence. I have been really busy with life and work, and am just now getting the chance to fully sit down to write this update. Writing has been pretty slow, I am gonna pick it back up with a few different fanfics (Which will discussed further in a new section below). As well as give my last NaNo update for the year. I would say it has been a pretty good year, I have written just under 60,000 words!
          
          ToTS Plans: I have begun developing the over arching plot of the entire story in my spare time, slowly developing who I want the characters to be and act. I can say this, it will be an emotional rollercoaster if all goes well. But no spoilers just yet ;). Writing wise things have been stale, still waiting on the worldbuilding to finish (Which will be discussed in this section once again starting next week). 
          
          TCB Plans: Right now, all I got is 3 different unfinished short stories and just over 9,000 words of wording. I may have a few Christmas themed stories coming this winter. Maybe not, we shall see!
          
          Throw Away Plans: Same story here, I will put out a poll this week to see what Throw Away you guys want me to prioritize, same with TCB stories.
          
          NaNoWriMo Plans: Well! It has been a good month. I have made 200 edits to pages pertaining to the Tower of a Thousand Shadows, as well as I have created 88 creatures. With a lot more waiting to be added to the mix. This will be the last time this section is here for awhile (Till next November), but it has been a fun month! Till next time NaNoWriMo!
          
          Fanfiction Plans: Not serious fanfiction yet, I am thinking of writing a Goncharov fic or two, as well as a short story about some crows for an amazingly beautiful art piece. But who knows, I might open up into some Stormlight Archives fanfiction!
          
          That is all for this week my friends!

          Driving down the road screaming at the top of my lungs.
          
          Hey friends!! I am back! A day late but back nontheless. I hope you have all have a splendid week, I know that I for one have had a pretty good week. Got some world building done, worked a bit, had some fun in pre calc. Good times! Anyways, back to the weekly update. I have gotten some more development on Acherion's magic system. More to be said below...
          
          ToTS Plans: I have gotten quite a bit of world building down, still finalizing Telling, which is the magic system of Acherion. It has two halves (not including the subtypes that stem from it), Lozhir and Veravda, Veravda is truth telling, while Lozhir is lying. Lozhir latches onto reality better and is permanent, but Veravda is temporary and causes an effect called an "Immolation". This is not fully complete yet, but users will need a certain material to use both Lozhir and Veravda. If they try to use their magic without that material however, the magic feeds off their memories, emotions, and thoughts. Until eventually all that's left to feed off of is the physical self.
          
          TCB Plans: Few projects on the go, haven't continued writing them. I am planning to set my daily goal to less than last time. As before I felt like I had to force myself to write each day. Instead, if I set my goal to maybe 250 words a day, I can get that done easier.
          
          Throw Away Plans: Same ol' same ol'. No progress to speak of. Plans are there. But no progress.. 
          
          NaNoWriMo Plans: WOO. Ok. Currently there are. 88 different creatures in Acherion. 1 magic system with a few different subtypes and branches. There are 12 different races, a few of which live underground.
          
          
                  That is all for this week my friends! Suggestions and ask box are open as always in case anyone wants to send some prompts or ask some questions about my magic system or world in general. Thanks for reading! Till next time!

          November 6 - November 13, 2022:
          
          Hey friends! It is the second? third? week of November. God months are weird... Anyways! Progress has been going very good this week! I am currently planning to develop the magic system for Acherion (More details below)! The more I work on this project, the more I realize I want this to be a massively long term project.... apparently Tolkien was working on Middle-earth for 38-50 years (results were slightly confusing, but nonetheless he was working on it for a long time). I realized, that I want something like that, an extremely in-depth world that is multi-leveled and beautiful. I want to have locations that no one will hear about in the series... 
          
          ToTS Plans: Been doing a lot of worldbuilding this past week. I have fleshed out a few finer details of what has to be my favorite race so far (More details will be in the NaNo section), as well as deciding to work on the magic system more. So. I will be making a separate post for this, but if ANYONE has ANY questions about the magic system for Acherion, please feel free to ask away! I will answer any and all questions I receive.
          
          TCB Plans: Still a stagnant puddle. 100% of my efforts are still being put into world building and creating my perfect world... Submissions, as always, are open to any and all for questions, comments, concerns, or prompts that anyone may have.
          
          NaNoWriMo Plans: WOO! OK. Currently my favorite race that I have created is the Geovese. Which are a race of subterranean humanoids that are known for their superior architecture and engineering. Their skin looks as if they are constantly dusty (from working with stone deep underground for millennia), and their eyes have been replaced with crystals, allowing them to not only see far better than a normal eye, but also to see outside of the visible light spectrum! 
          
          That is all for today my friends! Till next time!

          Hey my friends! I am sorry for the late update, ended up going out for dinner and didn't get home until late last night. There has been a slight change in my NaNoWriMo plans, but I will still keep the NaNo section for the month of November.
          
          
          
          ToTS Plans: I am currently fleshing out the races I have created. Currently I still have 12 different races, each will have different stories and beliefs. As well as different traits and cultures. My plan is that after I finish the races (Maybe there will be a few more by the time I am done), I will move on to create and flesh out religions, deities, and lore. 
          
          TCB Plans: Stagnant as a puddle currently. I still have two different projects, but have been focusing my efforts in other areas currently. As such, I have not made any work on the stories yet. I do however have plans for other projects, as well as the fact that my inbox is always open for submissions of writing prompts or any other questions y'all may have. 
          
          NaNoWriMo Plans: SO. My Plans for NaNo have.... Drastically changed. Originally I planned to create a collection of stories and myths that would tell the story of Acherion... But then I started running out of time to write 1,667 words every day because of life. My new plan, is to finish an entire page of world building each day. I do not know how many words this would equate to but I feel that it is adequate enough for me to be happy with myself. However, do not worry my friends, I still have plans to write that previous project, just not right at this time.
          
          That is all for today my friends! Today's update is a little late but that's ok. Good news though, is that I have completed quite a bit of world building this past week!

          The fight for 50k
          
          Hey friends! I am back again, on the eve of spooky day! I have a few new updates, including a new fourth section that will be temporarily in the weekly updates. A November exclusive if you will. I have great news as well! I have written over 36,000 words this month. Now that may not be the 50,000 I was hoping to get to, but it is higher than anything I have ever written before. Other news, I will be participating in NaNoWriMo this year. Not officially of course, just as a personal challenge.
          
          ToTS Plans: I have continued world building, with 83 different unique creatures now existing in the world of Acherion. I am still working on getting more religions and characters added to the world. I am thinking that worldbuilding will wind down during NaNoWriMo so as to prioritize the writing side of things. However my plan for NaNoWriMo will actually allow me to get a considerable amount of world building for Acherion completed.
          
          TCB Plans: I have not done much writing for my TCB series recently, I still have two different stories on the works. These will both be put off until after November likely. Though if you guys have any writing prompts you want to see me to write I will try my best to get those done!
          
          Throw Away Plans: Currently I have three throw away stories in the works. Two are from my own curated collection of prompts, while the other is one that a friend gave me. Once again I think these stories will be put off until after november.
          
          NaNoWriMo Plans: Here it is! A new fourth section to the updates. This section is , of course not permanent, and will only be around until November ends. My writing project for this month will be a collection of lost histories and myths throughout Acherion's world.
          
          That's all for this week friends!! This is a shortened version of my tumblr update, links to which are available through my bio!

          School fucks me over
          
          
          Hey friends! I am back again! I missed a few days of writing this past week due to work and school. But I have continued writing my 1,667 every day I can. So while I may not hit my wanted 50,000 this month; I will still get a higher word count than I ever have before. 
          
          ToTS Plans: World building has been begun again, I have continued to make some more creatures, as well as planning some other aspects of the world. Of course it will still take time, but I am determined to finish this world so I can write a really really cool story.
          
          TCB Plans: Currently I have a few different stories on the works, a few (The city of rust, and the stone people) will be included in ToTS history. While others (A thousand lives, and the devils choo choo train) will just be random stories. Currently I am working on getting the word counts above my usual under 1,000. So far all the stories I have written this month have been around 3,000 words. I am actually also thinking of going back and redoing some of my old stories to make them longer.
          
          Throw Away Plans: Wow!! A new update section!! Would you look at that! This will be for my other writing, the throw aways that I post to my Ao3 account. Currently I have two stories on the go, one is about a guitar player in a studio (Plot twist it takes a supernatural turn), and the other will be a murder mystery where everyone thinks they are responsible for the death. I'm hoping that in the future I will have more stories on the go to talk about.
          
          That's all for this week folks!! This is a shortened version from my tumblr account, If you would like the full thing go check the links in my bio out!

          To much school
          
          Hey friends! Back again with a new weekly update. I didn't hit my word count two days last week, but I did get a bunch assignments (As well as report cards) completed! I have written a bunch of different things this week, nothing completed because I decided to bounce around a bit to much...
          
          ToTS Plans: Not much world building completed this last week, I am going to try to focus a bit more of my free time onto fixing up and finishing Acherion so its ready for me to write the first book. Despite this I do have some good news, I have been writing two different myths and legends that will belong to the world's history.
          
          TCB Plans: I have completed a lot of TCB writing, I am finding that this is where I am spending most of my writing time. With the rest of it being for the throw aways that I have been posting onto Ao3.
          
          Thats all for today my friends! Sorry that this week's update is a day late. I got caught up in some life guard training. I will try to get the next one out on time.

          So. Many. Words.
          
          Hey friends! I am back again for spooky month! Its been going great for me, I have written almost 11k words this past week (I will hit just over 11k tonight if all goes as planned, currently just got 300 more till I reach 11,669 words this week) and currently have 7 different stories on the go (one is the second chapter of ToTS, the other 6 are shorts) and almost all of them have 1,200+ words!
          
          ToTS Plans: Worldbuilding is still underway, I have recently started thinking about rewriting the first chapter? But then I realized it is a prologue so it does not need to be to to to long. Currently I have 2 different ToTS legends in the works, thinking that maybe I should not put those in the TCB list, and instead make a book of legends for ToTS. What do you guys think? lemme know either through the discord server , the subreddit, or of course through my Tumblr page!!
          
          TCB Plans: Currently I have 3 different TCB stories on the go right now, each is wildly different than any of the others. And all are considerably longer than my past works (upwards of 3,000 words).
          
          That is all for today friends! Remember my asks and submissions are always open for anything! And I hope you have a great week! Till next time!
