It's a double upload for Guild of Zeroes today :) chapter 17 has the big midpoint twist and I was too excited to put it out there. I couldn't wait until the next upload day.

Last night I noticed that it's a long time since I've added anything to my short story collection. So two new parts are up now. Both are flash pieces that sit around 500 words and both stories are pieces I'm super proud of. "Is It The End?" Is my best 500 word short so far and reading it always cheers me up. 
          
          I've been feeling pretty down since last week and that story in particular always lifts me back up a little. Hope is a key theme in that short, and in a lot of my work honestly. I don't want to sound too presumptive or pretentious but if you're out there, and you're struggling too, I really do hope you find this story. I hope it helps you as much as it helped me. That's my biggest goal as a writer.

Hello! 
          
          I feel like it's been pretty quiet on the ol' profile here lately, so I'm breaking out the defibrillator paddles and hopefully shocking some new life into the account here. 
          
          I've got two stories coming up that I want to post here. One is something from my back catalogue that was up on this profile once upon a time. It's a military sci-fi piece about mechs and mercenaries. I feel like it's quite different from what I'd write now, and I can tell I've changed a lot since putting this one together. 
          
          Next on my list is a much more recent story. Guild of Zeroes is a fantasy novel that I started during NaNo of 2021 and finished in April of 2022, and I'm really excited about how it turned it. If you like misfits, magic, poor dumb kids trying to solve an impossible issue, and a dash of queerness and romance, you'll probably want to keep an eye out for this one.

History repeats itself today. I have always been bad at keeping an upload schedule, and once again all of the remaining chapters of Faerunners have been dumped onto the site. 
          
          If you've been waiting for that complete check mark to show up before reading, now is your time to go ahead and start.

Hello to everyone still following this profile :) 
          
          If you've been with me for a while, you might remember me saying I was leaving Wattpad back in December. Well, I've poked around a few other sites since then and found that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Everywhere has its own issues. 
          
          The main reason I left was due to security issues here. All of my stuff was lifted from Wattpad and copied to a mirror site. At the time, I was thinking of pursuing self or even traditional publishing with those stories and I was worried having them mirrored somewhere else would hurt those efforts. So I left. 
          
          But now I'm back. 
          
          At it's heart, writing is a lonely hobby and hoarding all of my stories just for me, felt a lot worse than posting them where other people can enjoy them. Plus, I've really missed votes and in-line comments. I've shifted my goal posts and pushed off my publishing goals for now. Everything that I've written to date will be my online only, free stories and if they get posted to mirror sites then oh well, more reads for me.

Hello everyone who follows me! 
          
          You may notice I have a new story up. Roads to Nowhere is an urban fantasy/horror piece that I started around February 2020, and finished just before this year's NaNoWriMo. My goal is to eventually have this one edited and self published, but for now it's going to live right here on Wattpad. I hope people enjoy this early version of the story. 
          
          The entire first draft is written, and I will be updating this one twice a week.

Nice! I’ll try to check it out. @Poundcake93

Slowly but surely Faerunners is coming back up. I have 21 of 28 chapters ready to go and I've decided to post daily just to get the story out there. 
          
          I've heard from people trying to guess how the algorithm works that that's not the best way to do it but I'm kind of done with caring about the algorithm and getting the most views, so daily feels good for me.

Go for it. Algorithm is broken anyway. @Poundcake93
