Good day readers! Hoping this blog finds you well, or at least not terrible. It's a rather rainy, dark, gloomy Wednesday here in the PNW. I was hoping summer was coming in full force but nooooo, it's cold as shit out there and I am on my second pot of coffee. (You read that correctly, 'pot' I am a coffee-holic and proud of it. TYVM.)
I find myself alone in this place, well, alone with three dogs and three cats. It's nice to have people trust me enough to finally leave me alone. ^_^ Time for true crime and coffee.
Lately I've been working on a Co-lab along with my other projects. It's been super fun and I look forward to how it turns out. Working with such a skilled author has been amazing! I've learned quite a bit during this project and it's been amazing. This is the first time I've worked with someone on a writing projects and it's turning out to be a bit bigger than I had initially expected.
As for my other projects... This week is an off week for Cw/oC, there will (as long as I don't get locked up or sent to the hospital) be a new installment next Wednesday. As for Adrianna, I am actually surprised I had an installment to post on Monday. Usually it had been Sunday that I'd post for her story, but I think I like Monday instead.
I'm toying with another short too, not sure I'l get that out anytime soon but it's there, and then there's FMSK, I kinda have an idea for a third part, but actually putting pen to paper would depend on engagement and if those intrusive thoughts keep plaguing me.
Alaska, velcro-kitty is demanding cuddles, and my coffee is getting a little chilled. Time to get on with my day.
As always, I greatly appreciate you all, thank you so much for following me on this writing journey. You are amazing!

Good day! I'll start with an observation, I've noticed a lot of authors blogging about AI, whether they are pro or con. I see a lot of 'con' on here and honestly, I appreciate that. I enjoy reading from a person, it gives a good glance into their inner psyche. I love a peek into the mind of a person. As for myself, I don't want a machine taking, or receiving, credit for my twisted imagination. All my writing is mine (I'm sure you can tell by the terrible editing, obviously not done by a machine).
That said, I do use Google search for things like 'How do I safely wash a silk garment?' or 'Can Botox be safely cooked out of meat?' (A search for 'Finding My Sister's Killer') I'll use it for research purposes, like 'Tell me everything I need to know about prison riots' or even for spelling 'How do I correctly spell experiance??'Yes, I am notorious for placing the letter 'a' in places it shouldn't be.
I believe that AI is a tool, like a calculator. It should never be used in place of one's BRAIN. At least, that is how I feel about it. I won't demonize someone for using it for more than 50% of their writing though, sometimes you need training wheels before you're biking the Tour de France. However to that note, there are so many people out there willing to help too. (I say as I myself am far too anxious and scared of actually ASKING for help. T_T There really is something fundamentally broken about me...)
Alrighty! AI rant done, off the podium for me!
I've recently submitted the second installment of Cw/oC for posting so hopefully it will be up soon. I want to thank everyone for the reception! It seems to be more popular than my other writings (With the exception of FMSK pt2?? Do people not like part 1's? That stat surprised me.) Anyway, this second installment may be a bit slow with moving plot, my hopes for it was a little more explaining (though I think I got lost somewhere as it's similar to how my brother and I would converse about something. We get distracted easily.)
More for my little updating. I'm not sure if I will have an installment for Adrianna's story this coming Sunday. Things are a little off here and I am charged with homesteading for at least two weeks, possibly three. That's on top of other life routines. Yay. The other night there was a coyote close by so this should be fun. Wish me luck...
I suppose I shall end it with that, again I want to thank you all dear readers I appreciate, you are AMAZING! Hope you have a fantastic day!

Hey all! To those of you who follow me, I am sorry I am a day late to my usual blog posting. Yesterday was...brutal.
I had a rather comprehensive eye exam in order to see if I have diabetic eye disease or no. Good news! I do not, however there is a lot of damage because of the diabetes so they will be monitoring it. What does this mean? I get to look forward to a brutal eye-assault every 4-6 months. I really shouldn't complain, with everything else I've put this body through, it could be a lot worse.
My writing projects and postings will not be affected though and I'm glad for that, I've often said that writing is a therapy for me, I am grateful I still have my vision.
I hope you aren't disappointed that I have yet to post another installment of Cw/oC, and I am so thrilled at the positive response it has received. I promise another installment soon. Not that I don't have any content for it, I just want to better pace myself with posting.
If you do follow my writings you've probably noticed the two-part story I've posted as well, not my normal style of writing but it was pretty fun to do. I noticed it too had a positive reception, so a part three may happen later on. Maybe not, who knows? Shoot me a message if you'd like another one and I'd be happy to oblige.
Well, it's been a strange few days for me and I don't have much else to put to words in a blog.
I'll leave you all with the usual:
Thank you so much for being you, I appreciate you!

Happy Wednesday! I've submitted my 'new' project today. This is one I've actually been working on for a while so I do hope it comes out well. I have a comfortable amount of content on this one to post regular updates, but I may end up taking my time with it as life is finally starting to pick up. Kinda.
I have a few other writing projects I'm working on including my Adrianna series and the poems/lyrics/what-have-you that's already posted on here. So I'm trying to keep busy, keep sane, and not indulge the intrusive thoughts too much.
Alas, I still feel a bit of melancholy with Folie, but I am happy with how it turned out. Hopefully the ending wasn't too abrupt? (I couldn't well keep a violent serial killer loose in my fictional world...) ^_^;;
I'd love to hear from you the reader. What do you like? Do you have any advice? Is there anything you'd like me to explore more in my writings? Engage me! I'll do my best to respond promptly.
On another note, I think I'm making a little more progress in being a functional, somewhat more social, adult. Today's societies though are insane! Why is it you find a more quality companion on a fetish site than on a dating site?! I really shouldn't be on either type of site...but I do get bored sometimes and I understand humans are social creatures, we need specific exchanges that can only be done with another living human being. I'm not really the biggest fan of those I have to interact with on a daily basis either.
Eh, you're not here for my life updates though huh?
Anyway, I hope you enjoy my newest written offering, "Communism Without Coffee, A Denver the Traveler story".
Anyway, anyway! Thank you again for sticking with me, ^_^V
Good day! And so we come to another Wednesday, it's once more kinda gloomy weather. Yesterday was pleasant though with a bit of sunny clarity. Alas, I doubt you read my blog for the weekly weather in the PNW though.
Updates! That's what we are here for, or you're just a curious looky-lou wondering what this duck is talking about. (My glucose is a bit low so the post may have a frantic vibe to it, apologies)
So, Folie a Toi has concluded, and yes I added a bit of a 'tease' afterword in the form of a tiny 12th chapter. I am working on a time travel-esque story. One that will be more ongoing than the short adventure of Birdy and Jester, though that one was more of a set up. And, if you are an avid (or at least casual) reader of my works you'll notice Kalispher (Mr. Dietrich) from Adrianna's story line being the opening narrator in the afterword. I do like to link my stories.
On another note I decided to post some of my poems, writing is a type of therapy for me. I'm not a pro, but I am working on it as I really enjoy writing. I'll probably revisit my earlier writing with heavy edits and what not.
I would probably request an editor, but I am insufferably awkward and honestly I feel like I don't deserve much attention at all (which is why I am constantly in awe of those of you who read my writing AND follow me?! WOW!!! You guys are AMAZING!) My self-confidence is terribly misplaced in my worst traits whereas my better traits I feel make me a terrible person. I'm working on it. I both crave attention, and yet I despise society. -_- I'm not that bad a person in reality, and I swear I'm really not that 'gloomy' usually, people say I'm a delight but I don't get it.
Anyway! I really do appreciate you all so much and I hope I can still entertain you with my writings moving forward. So, be on the lookout for my next writing projects. Until then, thank you all! ^_^v
