How&#8217;s it going, guys?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wow, it&#8217;s been a hot minute since I talked to you all. This month has been wild, I tell ya! For starters, it was Camp NaNoWriMo- meaning I put all projects aside except for one or two for the month to focus on writing. I specifically was trying to focus on rewriting Dragon Bride. It&#8217;s coming along well, but I hit a rut partway through the month\u2026 So I started working on The Cursed Life of Nuru Caldwel (a title I&#8217;m very aware needs much work). I&#8217;ll tell you about both projects a little later. First, I want to tell you some work updates, as well as my plans for May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I currently have three clients. For Xyphien LLC, I&#8217;ll be working as an editor and potential writer for their newest project, <a href=\"https:\/\/medievalsim.net\/\" class=\"broken_link\">Medieval Sim<\/a>. I&#8217;m also now the writer for an avatar community forum called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lasria.com\/\">Lasria<\/a>. Finally, if you&#8217;ve never heard of Sprout Valley (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/zefrost\/sprout-valley-chill-and-relaxing-experience\" class=\"broken_link\">Kickstarter can be found here<\/a>!)\u2026 It&#8217;s a game I&#8217;m seriously looking forward to, and have the honor to write for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at May, I plan to continue working on these three projects to the best of my ability. They&#8217;re not just jobs- they&#8217;re passions! But, I&#8217;ll also be spending a lot more time on game development than personal writing this coming month, as honestly? I&#8217;m kind of worn out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My goal is to focus on Magical Mayhem, but I may work on other game projects as I see fit. A goal of mine is to update you weekly on things I&#8217;ve been up to with makeshift devlogs, screenshots, and more. I haven&#8217;t done any comics in a while, and I&#8217;m sorry for that. I just can&#8217;t think of many lately. I hope that changes too! I&#8217;ll also update you on my life and on random things I think might be helpful to you\u2026 So stay tuned! I have lots of content ideas to share!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, back to the projects I&#8217;ve been working on in the writing verse. First off is Dragon Bride. Though I only wrote about 15k, that is pretty damn good with a goal of 20k words! Considering I also wrote 5,000 words of the first book in the Nuru Caldwel series, I&#8217;d say I won Camp, even if unofficially so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another project I plan to work on when I do write is Play or Die, and maybe Normal Syndrome. I&#8217;m not quite sure which of these four writing projects will take priority (Okay, it&#8217;s Nuru- let&#8217;s face it, I&#8217;m a sucker for torturing the poor soul). But, these are the four I think will take the most of my writing time, when I&#8217;m not doing work or game development stuff. I still want to write every day\u2026 But we&#8217;ll see how it goes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other news\u2026 My real life is getting a little exciting. I have a date next week! Since it&#8217;s on Saturday, and I&#8217;m gonna try to update you on Sundays (even if it&#8217;s just a paragraph a week sometiems!)\u2026 Well, you&#8217;ll probably hear about it next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s all for now, folks. I have even more exciting news to share, but it can wait another week. See you next Sunday! Bye bye!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hihi! How&#8217;s it going, guys?
