Quick Author Update and Poll
Quick update: Slow progress week, as I've been dealing with:Strained muscle in my shoulder that makes typing uncomfortableMuscle relaxant that makes me drowsyAC went outPossible COVID exposure so I'm having to quarantine at homeThe good news is, in theory all of these should be coming to an end soon, so on that topic, should I focus on:
Rex Cosmos, Chapter 2, First Draft
...ok, this one is just smut. There's a little exposition, a little plot, and 90% sex.Hot, wet, juicy sex.I am not ashamed in the slightest. That was fun to write.
Dark Path development
I'm doing some more work developing the overall story and setting of Dark Path.Ultimately, Dark Path is intended to be the story of a man who is put in a situation, tries to take advantage of it, but things escalate until he is a full-on Supervillain.I'm working off of a couple of basic principles when drafting the plot:Every time Alex solves a problem, the solution causes a different problemEven when Alex has the chance to de-escalate th...
Rex Cosmos - Chapter 1
Chapter 1 First Draft of Rex Cosmos.I probably have a fair bit of editing to do on this, but I'm enjoying how the story is shaping up. It's a Sci-Fi series, so there's a fair bit of exposition needed to get into what's going on. I want to keep the series a little fluffier than my other works, so this chapter is probablygoing to be the densest packet of info-dumping, but that's subject to change as I continue writing.
Editing and planning
I've started working through a bit of editing, planning, and some writing on some non-Augur projects.Not long ago, I started using Obsidian (https://obsidian.md/) to keep track of my notes. It's a very useful tool, especially as I move back and forth between different worlds, since it gives me an easy way to not only keep track of details, but also of the general shape and complexity of a story. One of the ways I do that is through the bu...
Near future writing forecast: July
I have, as of this morning, completed my first draft of Augur Book 2.I have quite a lot of editing I'll need to do - my editor has already done passes through the first 11 or 12 chapters that I need to go through - but I think the basic story structure is unlikely to change at this point.I will probably take a short break from Augur to clear my head. It's harder to re-read and update works that I've written in recently, because the co...
Augur Book 2, Chapter 19, First Draft
This is the epilogue for book 2, primarily intended to act as a little wrap up of a couple points from earlier (primarily laying a little groundwork for Stacy and Valentina's future), as well as introducing the three main plot points / story threads that will eventually comprise book 3 (and one bonus scene meant to finally advance the primary story thread for the entire series now that some groundwork has been laid.)
Augur Book 2, Chapter 18, first draft
Thanks to the holiday I was able to get some solid writing time in, and completed the first draft of Chapter 18. This is intended to be the finale of the story, and I had a lot of fun being decadently indulgent with it. It's over the top and about 80% porn, and was an absolute blast to write.My original plan had been to work several additional scenes into the chapter after the party finished, but it's pretty long as it is, so instead I...
AB2 Chapter 18 In Progress
This is going to be a longchapter. I'm about 7000 words in (for reference, chapter 17 was ~9000 words in total), and I don't think I'm even 1/3rd of the way through what I want to happen. I may wind up splitting it up into multiple chapters, depending on the pacing and how everything feels.
Augur Book 2, Chapter 17, first draft
First pass at Chapter 17, finally reaping the payoff of Tzila's story.I leaned a little more heavily into the prose on this one, and will need to do a solid readthrough to make sure it works, but it was fun as hell to write.Next up: Chapter 18, which I have been looking forward to for quite a while, since it's the incredibly indulgent and hedonistic payoff of the entire story arc.It should be fun.
Augur Book 2, Chapter 16, first draft
I probably re-wrote more of this chapter than any other, and I'm still not convinced that this is it's 'final form'. Finding the balance between spending enough time on Tzila to showcase her character (and her particular kinks and perversions) and the non-Tzila related activities has been a challenge, but I think it's paying off. Chapter 17 is hopefully going to be easier to write, since what I have planned is effectively two ...
Augur Book 2 Chapter 15 1st Draft
Initial unedited pass of Chapter 15.I'm really pretty pleased with how Tzila's storyline is shaping up. It took me a little while to get a feel for the character, but she's really starting to come alive in the most delightful way as things progress.
Near future writing forecast
Just to give an idea of my current plans:I am going to try to complete the current story arc of Augur B2, which will conclude the book (and will probably take somewhere between 3-4 chapters, so probably around 30-40k words.) That'll make the total word count of Book 2 around 10-15% higher than Book 1.I will most likely spend a little time working on Dark Path and/or Magic Notebook just to clear my head and try to knock out a chapter or two.Af...
Augur Book 2 Chapter 14 1st Draft
Initial unedited pass of Chapter 14.
Dark Path - Early Access
The first 5 chapters of "Dark Path", my in-progress dark superpower erotica.The protagonist is a much, much worse person in this than in my other current works. Readers be aware that the title was chosen deliberately. This is not a story of a good person who makes kind choices.
Augur Book 2 Early Access
This is the current state of Augur Book 2. As of this post, I have plans to go back and do some re-writing of Chapter 1, and only Chapters 1-4 have a completed editor cycle.
Welcome to my Patreon!
Here, I will share early access and work-in-progress drafts of the finest urban fantasy erotica in the world! Or at least the best that I'm able to produce. Eventually, everything I write will be available through at least a couple other means, such as Literotica or Kindle Unlimited - but my Patreon will be the exclusive source for everything in the works. That includes unedited chapters and complete versions of my stories before they're ...
