Despite being somewhat back in action on this account, I haven't really talked much about what I'm working on. It's time to change that! During my absence, you see, I've been hard at work on a massive project, easily the biggest I've ever worked on. That's right, even bigger than The Clocksmith and The Channeler combined!
I'm making a game! A tabletop RPG, to be specific. It's been seven years in the making, although I didn't realize this is what I was doing at the start. What's more, I have a team! The game is being worked on by myself, three(ish) artists, a creative director, and several specialist consultants. All of these other people are good friends of mine and I'm eternally grateful to them for helping this game become the gem we all know it is.
As excited as I am to start talking all about the rules and the setting, that will have to wait for another time. There will be an official website and blog coming in the near future and that's where most of the good details will end up posted. I'll be sure to let you all know about it, for those of you who might be around and interested when that does go up.
So yes, I have most certainly been busy as can be in these past few years. The goal is to get the book's crowdfunding phase launched in 2024, so it's been a whirlwind for me the past few months in particular. I hope some of you will be interested in checking out more info as it comes!
So many things seem to be ending, and yet here I am, coming back to this account. How long has it been? ...Four years? Wow, that's a while to be away. What have you all been up to in all this time?
As for me, I've been writing the whole time. Some of the writing has been put onto real, physical paper and then not shown to anyone. Much of it has been freelance work, done under a pseudonym. Not to brag, but I've been successful enough with my alter ego to make it my full-time job. Until the robot apocalypse, but perhaps I'll save story that for another time. The funny thing about writing for other people, though, is that I haven't had much time to write for myself. Writing for others has taught me a great deal and I feel I'm a better author for it, but I'm ready to give myself more time for my own projects.
Does this mean I'll be posting here again? To be honest, I'm not sure yet. I have no idea if any of my old friends are still here. I don't even know if DeviantART is still a good site on which to share my stories and poetry. But on the off chance someone is still here, wondering how I've been, here I am! I'm doing well and might even share some more information about just what I've been up to in a future journal.
Feel free to say hello if you'd like! It's always good to know who's still around. Otherwise, the internet can start to feel like a rather empty place.
