Proud to announce that I have released the 39th entry in Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic. Called "The Stress of Solitude," this one takes place in the Denwa Formation of Middle Triassic India, 244 million years ago. In it, a female Shringasaurus fends off the attention of males despite it being the mating season. I've had the very basics of this story in mind since I first started having ideas for what ended up being Prehistoric Wild. This was mainly cause of the fact Shringasaurus is just one of many examples of weird Triassic animals that are just criminally overlooked in paleo media. Then, I added a certain story element the help spice it up, but you'll have to read it in order to find out. Can't wait to hear what y'all end up thinking of it. https://www.wattpad.com/1515361402-prehistoric-wild-life-in-the-mesozoic-the-stress 
          
          Next story will be very special one, "From the Ashes" and will take place in the Fremouw Formation of Early Triassic Antarctica 252 million years ago. stay tuned for when that ends up being released.

Due to recent events (thankfully unrelated to Wattpad), I decided to lay down an important rule. This page will not be used for discussing politics in any way, either from me, or anyone else that brings it up in my discussions. Generally, I don’t tend to care if someone disagrees with me on such things (depending on the issue) as long as they do so respectfully. However, those I’ve encountered who can’t seem to grasp the concept have put me off from it entirely. I’m lucky to not encounter such things on Wattpad so far as the subject of prehistoric life is probably the least political thing I could think of. Nevertheless, if I see anyone bring up politics, or even so much as allude to them, via my discussions tab in here, I’m straight up going to delete that. Cause at this point, I’m tired of dealing with the people that genuinely become impossible to reason with the second I express any disagreement with them.

Proud to announce that I have released the 38th entry in Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic. Called "The Mammalian Imposters," this one takes place in the Burgersdorp Formation of Middle Triassic South Africa, 246 million years ago. In it, a male Bauria successfully hunts a Euparkeria only to face a few obstacles on his way back home, including wrestling with others of his kind and avoiding the jaws of a hungry Erythrosuchus. This one is probably one of the oldest ideas I've had for Prehistoric Wild as a whole, thus I've had it in my mind for a while. Originally, the protagonist was going to be a Cynognathus, something that seemed like it'd be fitting for a fossil formation that's also known as the Cynognathus Assemblage Zone. But after learning how big that species has been known to get, I figured it'd be better to save it for a different story idea I'll write later on down the line. I was also further inspired to implement meerkat-like behavior after watching a nature documentary episode centering around them. Can't wait to hear what ya'll end up thinking of it. https://www.wattpad.com/1510703948-prehistoric-wild-life-in-the-mesozoic-the
          
          Also, just want to give a quick shout out to a friend of mine who's been helping me a lot with these stories in terms of developing ideas and fact-checking accuracy, @Landiahazak . Recently, he's started a book here on wattpad, "Jurassic World: True Fear." Do check it out whenever you get the chance, and tell him Zack sent ya. https://www.wattpad.com/story/387248970-jurassic-world-true-fear-male-reader-insert
          
          Next story will be one I call "The Solitary Suitress" and will be set in the Denwa Formation of Middle Triassic India, 244 million years ago.

Update: I’ve since decided to changed the name of the upcoming story to “The Stress of Solitude” as I felt it fit and sounded better

I recently found out that one of my mutual followers here on Wattpad has been struggling with writer’s block. So, I felt like sharing something that has greatly helped me with such issues. Around May of last year when I wrote Clash Under the Rising Sun, I put on Japanese themed music in the background to see how that would do. This worked incredibly well for me, boosting my flow and output tenfold. I’ve stuck with a similar pattern since and it still works. I have an entire YouTube playlist of the stuff I’ve listened to and found cool enough to potentially use later on. Here’s the link if anyone’s ever interested: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdRQqFs_NOq247WbExyHazVSRRHWGxEoH&si=-leKV4pjvr7NeEtr

Ooh might try this out.  What works for me seems random and changes, so it helps to have more music in my arsenal hehe
