And I’m still here and still writing away happily. It’s been over a year since the blog was started, and in that time I’ve managed 100 posts (this is actually the 101st). The time in between has been quite a journey for me as a writer, doing multiple edits on Tarranau <\/em>and Chloddio<\/em>, learning the business of publishing, and writing the 3rd book (Laeccan Waters) in TFPL series for NaNo.<\/p>\n

As for that book, it’s currently only at 41k after 35k in the first two weeks. I’ve had a serious case of burnout, and lost interest in plowing ahead with the story. I’ll finish NaNo, but once that’s done, I’m taking a break from working on the novel for a little while. I am enjoying the story, but the pace of writing has me needing a little rest. Prior to this, I’ve never tried to write a novel in a limited timeframe, and doing 85k words in two months is a little draining for me.<\/p>\n

And now a look back at some of the highlights of the last 100 posts. I highly recommend the Breaking an Empire and Hia Breoedd storylines.<\/p>\n

L\u00e6ccan Waters<\/a><\/em> – Excerpts from my current NaNo novel. With luck, another will appear tonight.
\nLegends of the Burning Sands<\/a><\/em> – From far in the past comes the epic of one man’s rebellion, now lost to the mists of time.
\nBreaking an Empire<\/a><\/em> – The collapse of Hymerodraeth Heula, the Empire of the Sun, told by the soldiers who try and save it.
\nHia Breoedd<\/a><\/em> – A tale of Annwyd Arwedda, ruler of a tundra empire, and how he rose to power.
\nJenny<\/a><\/em> – The serialized story of a cloned organ replacement, forced into combat because humanity ran into deadly aliens. Incomplete.
\nFlash Fiction<\/a><\/em> – My short fiction, with many hidden gems.<\/p>\n

Thank you to all of the writers and others who have been supportive, chatty, or interesting. It’s made writing a lot more fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
