The Book of the Shadows

It's Saturday! Why am I here?

Hot damn is it annoying to go through so much bad news all at once. I'll start by making an apology.

Man I'm wiped... really tired right now. But, things roll on. There's a story chapter coming out today, and updates to my website are going to be done in the not too distant future.

So, not too long after my last post, some rough weather moved through the area. Winds were a bit gusty, lots of lightning, and that usually means power is a fleeting commodity. So, with no power for a bit, I couldn't get to the files for the stories, let alone fanfiction.net to post them.

I've probably only mentioned the First Star Saga a couple of times in the past with no real detail or anything of the sort. But it is one of the more complex and ambitious of the stories I've worked on mainly because of the effort I have put into making it so.

The day is getting ever closer. It looks like Friday is the long-awaited, often promised, day on which bookoftheshadows.com will go live. I'm cleaning up a few more things and filling out a little more content before I take it live.

So, after some more hard work, and then some fun work, and then a lot more hard work, the time is nearing when I will be able to launch the website I've been promising forever. In the meantime I've got some updates to pass along.

Well, chapter one of the Book of Cromwell has been up for a weekend now. A few people have checked it out already (Thanks, hope you've enjoyed). I am sure there are bits that don't make a lot of sense, so I'm here to clear away the confusion a bit.

I took close to the last minute, but I decided before work yesterday what story I would publish. But know that this is a first, not a period.

Lynette is a character on who a substantial part of the Book of the Shadows story focuses on. You'll learn what she looks like... for now...

I've made some decisions. Things start later this week.

Just a bit of minor housekeeping duty today, just to update where things are right now.

Were any of you in the States up early/late enough to catch any of the total Lunar eclipse last night?

Over the course of any project there are time you will arrive at ideas or plans that you will subsequently abandon for various reasons. I thought I'd share a few of those here.

It's time for a little bit of light housekeeping. Nothing major, just discussing a new feature I'll be rolling out soon.

Greetings to everyone, and welcome to State of the Realm 2013. I am grateful for everyone who is reading this address. This is the first new address I’ve furnished which has been released firstly via a method other than face-to-face discussion, or delayed reading by a typed document. I will get into that more in a moment.
