《Dungeon Instinct》Life, Dungeons, and Stories...
Advertisement
So yeah... Sorry about not posting much lately, but "LIFE" got in the way and i figured that any spare time i had would be better spent writing whatever i could than making a post about why i haven't been writing...
I know, bad AaronDragon... But hey, i'm here now and that's what counts right?
anyway anyone who's followed me and my stories for any significant amount of time will know that i have this sort of... Well... Let's call it an "Attention Problem". Basically i'll start a new story and then just sort of move on after the first few chapters...
I'm going to start making a serious effort to stop doing that now. I figure it's not far to you (the readers), the story, or myself. So instead of doing all this story mapping and outlining only to stop working on it on the second chapter and going on to start something new where i just repeat that process i'm going to cut that loop off right here and now.
I'm saying it here and now, from now into the foreseeable future (at the very least the rest of 2017) i'm going to stick to only 3 stories. i've started them, commited to writing them, and now i just need to be a good little author and finish the damn job by writing them out until they end.
Honestly, i'm a bit annoyed with myself so i know that all of you must be annoyed as hell with me...
So here's what's getting worked on and around when i think i'm going to be working on it:
Dungeon Instinct: Fall 2017 (May move forward or back depending on when i can find the week it'll take to reread and edit out the first volume...)
The Shadow Dungeon: Currently, but subject to random breaks (I plan to work on this off and on along side the other two projects.)

Night Saga: Spring and summer, i'm hopping i can eke out at least half the first book in that time. maybe even finish the entire full book out entirely...
So that's that. i've already started to train myself into focusing solely on these stories and just ignoring all the other wonderful and tempting ideas that pop into my head. I'm also going to try and put out a chapter every two weeks at the very least, but i cant make any serious promises about that because as this last month has shown me sometimes life steps in and just utterly wrecks any plans or schedule you may have... Plus i'm trying to get back to releasing longer chapters so it takes more time to write them out...
...
Yep... so that's basically it... Just wanted to let you guys know what's up, and give you some reassurance that now you can commit to a story without worrying about when i'll lose interest in it and stop writing it.
...Oh and if you're reading this on RRL then i'd like to say that this post will be removed as soon as i begin working on D.I. again. oh and please answer the poll...

After The Mountains Are Flattened
In the world's most popular fantasy game, Saana Online, Henry Lee has repeatedly lucked his way into many earth-shaking roles. He’s been a premier duellist, undefeated commander, founder of a cult, owner of a kingdom, and shadow leader of history’s greatest guild. With so many achievements under his belt, it seems that only one final hurdle stands in the way of his happiness—the game itself! He just wants to quit already! However, thanks to a prank by his best friend slash mortal enemy, Henry finds himself farting around in the starting zone yet again. This time he is accompanied not by the gaming world's elite but by the turbonoobs that are his real-life mates, the monkey zoo of incompetent social gamers they attract, and one braindead idealist who thinks he can somehow mould this bunch of trash into a guild capable of toppling the very regime Henry is leading. Facing no genuine opponent and armed with game-breaking equipment, totally unfair insider knowledge, millions of troops, an unbalanced class, and bottomless pockets, will Henry Lee somehow fulfil his dream of an uneventful retirement? Or will the supreme cheat-magnet be dragged screaming back once more into the never-ending, blood-pumping world of online adventure?

He watched from safety as the population mutated and turned on each other. Peaceful animals also transformed into monsters with claws and blood covered fangs. The world became fantasy. But just as they caused death, the changes kept Desmond Slattery alive. Without them he would not have made it through his first civilization ending event.
