Oh wow, it's been a looong time.

Wow, a year and some change without an update. I blame this thoroughly on getting clotheslined by Real Life Issues. Nothing serious (for me) at any rate, but I had to drop so much to concentrate on helping loved ones get their lives in order that I hardly had the time, or the inclination to write. Those of you who follow me on literotica know that I've been continuing with Enchantress, which should have been finished A YEAR AGO, but doing so at a snail's pace.

Now, however, things have been sorted. I've got the last few chapters pretty much DONE and just needing an editing pass, I'll get them up in the coming weeks. I've got the outlines of a sequel in the making, which should be interesting, as well as ideas for several shorts.

More importantly, however, is that I finally have time to write again, and hopefully some time to tend to this blog. I'm almost afraid to announce what I intend to do here until it's done, just because I don't want anything to crop up and keep me from meeting my promises again.

Well, hopefully there'll be a more informative update soon. Maybe even with a short.

Until next time!

NaNoWriMo off to a good start

After a few days of nonaction, I got time to hammer out the first chapter of Champion of Venomspire tonight for NaNoWriMo, and I'm pleased to say that it went swimmingly. I'm afraid that Champion will not be the additional free release I was speaking of, but that new project's first short is ready for an editing pass. As soon as I get the time to have it done, it will be posted.

As for Enchantress, I've got the next chapter open on my desktop as we speak. I think, however, I will try to knock it out in the morning. I'm faced with the odd task of finishing one novel while writing its sequel, let's just hop that everything continues to go well.

Also, a pleasant reminder for those who have an interest in supporting my work in a non-ebook way, my Patreon page can be reached on the sidebar, as can my social networking links. I hope to begin to post new content alerts to them before the Usual Places going forward. I'm just so excited and grateful to have people who actually read my work at the moment, it's really inspired me to go ahead with this trilogy.

NaNoWriMo Imminent, Upcoming works, and PATREON!

So, now that I'm making progress on Enchantress again, and almost have another short ready, I'm faced with National Novel Writing Month. I've participated in this a few times in the past, under a different name, and my original intent for this year was to use it to get the sequel to Enchantress out.

Unfortunately, due to the certain life/financial issues that basically consumed 2 months straight (and still rear their ugly head to slow me down), Enchantress is clearly not going to be done in time. I could go ahead and do it anyway, so I can put the sequel up very shortly after I clean up Enchantress, but I don't know, that just seems... cheap.

So going forward, I'll continue trying to meet the once a week or once every two weeks release for Enchantress, which should be very doable. Starting soon, I will be posting a new collection of short stories revolving around a group of new heroes here on this

Also, if you've been looking for ways to support my writing, especially my free releases, but don't want to just buy my ebooks over and over again, do take a look at my new Patreon page. Contributions there will allow me to improve my overall content production pipeline, and enable me to continue providing free content. http://www.patreon.com/acorvusauthor

Thank you all for your continued interest in my work.
