Hey look, it’s a post of some sort

Hi, this seems to be a post. I haven’t been on here in a while. I changed jobs a couple times and moved, and will probably move again soon. All kinds of fun stuff.

The kind of fun stuff that makes a couple years go by without writing. 😔

I should probably fix that soon!

Out of Light – Chapter 1 (Updated)

Chapter One – Nathalie

ā€œHelp me,ā€ a ragged voice called.

Nathalie skidded to a halt, slipping on a patch of damp leaves. The beacons in her satchel shifted, sending out a soft clink of crystal against crystal as she caught herself on a low-hanging branch. ā€œHello?ā€ she called, hoping for a repeat of the cry. If anyone answered, it was quickly lost in the din of water dripping from leaf to leaf, courtesy of the morning’s rain.

Was, Was, Was.

Hello lovely readers.

You know that feeling when you look at a word for too long, or say it too many times, and you convince yourself it’s not a word?Ā Yeah, I’m not entirely convinced that ‘was’ is a word anymore.

Anyway, editing is going… well? It feels like it’s going well, anyway. I’ve cut about 4k words since… Well, whenever I said it was at 109k words. I’m nearly done with this (annoying) round of edits, then will jump to more nitpicking because that’s just how I roll.Ā I’m so ready to finish this so I can go back to the fun part.

Anyway, since there has been some moreĀ  editing (cleaning) done on Chapter 1, I reposted it! Here is a link!Ā 

Work is work and I pretend it doesn’t exist outside work. (As is customary.)

I finished reading The Magicians (I didn’t like it, to be honest.) Now I’m reading (rereading)Ā  The Redemption of Althalus because it popped into my head and it seemed like a good idea.

Okay, I guess I should probably stop procrastinating. I hope you enjoyed this “update.”

Out of Light Excerpt

Hello, lovely readers.

I decided to post a bit of Chapter 1 of Out of Light. I don’t know why, just seemed like the thing to do. I will note, however, that you should remember that this is not a final draft. It still needs a pass by a real editor, another pass by me, and any beta reader I manage to sufficiently bribe. Everything contained in this excerpt is subject to change, polish, and/or deletion.

This is a significant amount of time after Out of Darkness ended, and that’s all I’ll say about that. Enjoy šŸ™‚
