A nice progress. I did end up writing more yesterday. Every two weeks I get together with a couple of friends and we exchange chapters of our current manuscript and talk about them, either providing feedback or giving encouragement. I’m trying to get my chapters done in time for them to read it.

I just unlocked the Book Explorer badge! 🚀

Another 1270 words on The Aberrant Vaults. I may keep writing to get this next chapter done.

For anyone who enjoys analytics, I highly recommend using pacemaker.press to keep track of your word count progress. You can turn it into a nice chart and set your own goals, and it’s really nice to have a visual of your progress. I’ve set a goal to finish the first draft of The Aberrant Vaults in 45 days. Let’s see if I can get there! Currently at 98,055 words, 1513 words written today.

I just unlocked the Page Flipper badge! 🚀

Cover art I made for my upcoming debut and co-authored novel, Cohesion and Chaos. I've got ARCs scheduled to go out in November.

"Ysella's diplomatic mission to prevent a war in Edros is halted as she is captured by the bounty hunter Ilai. Bound by chains and carted through the unforgiving lands of the Grey Hinterlands, she must battle the frigid cold of Winter and the apathy of her captor to survive the journey and discover who desires diplomacy nullified.


Twenty gold heads. That is her worth, and that is what motivates Ilai to press forward despite his acquisition. The details or purpose of the wanted poster is unimportant. What matters is the sum of the reward is enough to live off of for the rest of his life. But perhaps the reward is too good to be true.


The constant threat of death pulls the two opposites to set aside their differences in an effort to survive. From the beasts that hunt in the night to humans with nefarious intent, Ysella and Ilai discover their growing feelings and a threat that not only imperils their union but risks darkness upon the land. The weight of thousands rests on her shoulders. She must survive the journey to Ethyrnon Tower and find cohesion in the chaos."

My goal is to write 1500 to 2000 words a day, specifically on one piece. Do any of you have daily or weekly writing goals?

All my fan fictions will always be free to read. I am considering making Eudicia free to read until I finish this round of edits so that I can get feedback on the full manuscript. I've only ever gotten feedback on the first three chapters back when I first wrote them. Anyway, enjoy some art I did of my MC from The Aberrant Vaults.

The Aberrant Vaults is currently over 130k words. I anticipate another 50k is needed to finish the story. Originally, I was going to use the manuscript to query for traditional publishing, but decided against it as I would likely need to cut too much from the story to make it within the acceptable word count for a debut. I’ll be working on a different manuscript for querying.

I am also considering uploading my completed manuscript that I was going to query with two years ago, but was unable to do so due to being unable to find comp titles. That manuscript is currently undergoing developmental edits, but I can post it as I finish this current round of edits.

I have a few other works in progress that, should I get enough interest in my works, I’ll choose one and post here. WIP premises:

-Dragon riders are hunted, and people from all walks of life converge to help them
-Contemporary vampire romance where the MC finds out her parents were vampire hunters
-An elf an an automaton team up to prevent the death of magic
-A bard has to stop his father from raising the dead, but becomes undead himself
-The cult of an old god threatens to release its wrath on the world. A band of misfits comes together to stop the ascension (5-8 book series)
