July 22 - Second Choice Ch.4
Here's the next chapter of Jaune's adventures in Atlas.Writing article should be tomorrow.
Writing Article - June - Atmosphere
Atmosphere is easy to create in movies and video games due to the usage of music and visuals, but how does one go about conveying the proper atmosphere and mood in a written story? I look at the basics and break it down into two easy columns. Get used to using both and you should have no problem.

One Shot - April 22 - Second Choice
Here's the one shot for this month but I also have a question:Would you prefer a different one-shot every month, or would you rather have an entire story delivered chapter by chapter? I'm honestly curious because I could take to writing this one-shot as a full story with an update each month...

March One Shot - Back to form
Hello everyoneIt's been a long while since I posted anything beyond my stories - COVID hit me and the company I work for as hard as it hit many others, and it never felt like I had any spare time left. This recent health scare with my mother however, has taught me that there won't ever be &#...

Writing Article Jan 2020 - Overpowered Characters
So, the typical advice is not to write them, especially since they have a tendency to become Gary or Mary Sues. But what if your story requires a protagonist who is strong, skilled and fits all those tropes? What if you're writing the next Geralt of Rivia, Saitama or Luke Skywalker? Characters w...
