《The Abyssal Dungeon》Overdue Update, Decisions Pending
Advertisement
Hello everyone, I have to apologize for not being around terribly much at all. It's been a long, hectic while, with school and family troubles, good things and bad taking up time and energy that I wanted to go to writing— should have gone to writing. Things are still going on, frustratingly, and I wish that things could just be normal and that I could find the spark and love I know that Aby deserves. I still do write, it's a major portion of my degree, but creative writing in an academic setting versus in a casual and fantastical setting is very different. It is frustrating to have the time to write, only to sit down and try to write and find inspiration isn't forthcoming at all. I have only a few chapters backlogged when I should have dozens and I hate this feeling. I wish I knew what I could be doing or how to be doing it to get that feeling back, but I will be trying again to do so.
I made a promise to myself and everyone here that I would never drop this novel completely, and I stand by that, but I also owe this story the best I can give it for being what completely changed the course of my life; I never want to give up writing, and I never would have known I love it the way I do had it not been for the slightly (very) rushed decision to sit down, open up a word document, and just start writing, tossing whatever ideas I'd had up until then to the wind.
As school comes to a close, and I finish this and start my final semester, I will yet again have more time. I will still have some commitment to writing for classes, but I want, crave, being able to sit back down and start releasing new chapters of The Abyssal Dungeon as well as share a few other ideas I've come up with in the meantime. I haven't released these couple stories yet because I don't want to fall into the classic pitfall of endlessly dropping and moving to a new story, but I still work on them in the meantime because I'd rather at least be working on something, and that current something is an especially silly idea that I'm having fun with.

But that's for later; I may decide to start releasing that, explicitly shifting focus to that for a little bit as I try to get back into things, but for now I just wanted to put out an update that everyone here is well-deserving of, and tell you all that I'm alive, my love for writing is alive, and this infuriating block is still alive despite my best efforts to change that. To those of you who read this, thank you for your patience, I truly have no words for the amount of support I have been and am shown by you all, and you reading this right now are as much the reason I love writing, if not moreso, than anything I think could have come from within.
Thank you, and have a truly wonderful day.

The Selection
Former title: Lusarth Fauxun. Roughly two millennia ago, Mana and monsters appeared in the world of Eiruta overnight, forcing all organisms to undergo a selection process; those who could not adapt to the Mana died while the remaining reproduced and lived on. This catastrophic event was recorded in every race living on the continent of Sholoth, a land mass covering half the planet, except the Humans, who seem to harbor a secret. Beyond Sholoth lay the 'Cursed Territory,' where anyone brave enough to venture has never returned... In a safer part of the world, a young Kai recently turns 11 years old and can finally enroll at the Academy. It has been his life-long dream to become an adventurer, alongside friends, exploring the world and fighting monsters. How could this innocent boy end up abandoning his childhood ambitions and instead end up working for Cascabel, an infamous organization that commits the most atrocious crimes? DISCLAIMER: While there's a "Strong Lead" tag, this is not an "OP MC" story. Also, this is not wish fulfillment.

8 89The Weather Vane
This is the first few chapter of my new book available on Amazon. The beginning is very light and fun, but more mature content comes later. From medieval fantasy to ultra high-tech to dinosaurs, The Weather Vane is a grippingly fast-paced adventure full of fun and excitement, literary flourish, and colorful characters. A group of ascendant masters find themselves in the afterlife and learn that they are newly recruited into the cosmic battle of good versus evil. Before they can join the fight, shipwreck strikes and they are lost in the ether. Stranded in a magical land beyond the reaches of the universe, The Weather Vane follows our crew of heroes as they try to piece things back together even while The Dark Lord’s forces march, maraud, and murder at every turn. Themes of darkness chase the overall levity of The Weather Vane which suffers not a lull as the climax begins near the beginning of the book and drives on through the greatly satisfying finish. The most epic of epics.
