While I’ve taken September and October off from writing regular articles, that doesn’t mean that I don’t want to provide updates time and again. This isn’t going to be anything particularly huge, but its something!

I’ve been working on writing my book, but its become obvious that I have to take some time to concentrate on finishing it up. August has been really miserable to me overall, and I wasn’t able to achieve what I’d put on my plate. I take all of October off each year, too, and this put September in a bind. I’d have four weeks of content to spout out while trying to catch up.
Instead of trying to do that, I want to focus on editing for the next 60 days, taking all of october and all of september off (and most of august, if we’re honest)
With enough focus, I will be back on the 3rd of November with new articles, hopefully about how cool the book is progressing, and what I am doing to get it published. Its the longest break I’ve taken from writing in the 6ish years I’ve been doing this, so its a little spooky, but its something I knew would be coming up. Editing takes focus and direction, and I’m at the point where I have to sit down and not worry about posts or content.
I’ll still be relaxing, so don’t expect that I won’t have anything up. Facebook will still have some random stuff, much more spur of the moment, quick hits, to stay in touch.
Well. For the longest space yet.
Until next time.
I know its a day late, but Tuesdays Article was a little haphazard, so lets try again, shall we? This has proven to be really tough to move from my head to paper, and I think I might have it this time.

We are in the home stretch, and today I’m fiddling with something a player of mine wants to make a reality: Herbalism, Alchemy, and Medicine! Let’s take a look as I wander my way poorly while I try to describe my nascent Idea of what that would look like.

We’re in the home stretch, I can feel it 19 months in that there is only a little left to accomplish before beginning the editing process! Today, I take another look at the Injury charts I made back in the Before Times, and see how I can hone it to a more appropriate form.

We’re in the home stretch. I’m continuing my atlas this week, and it’s going to be multiple maps and not a ton of words. Come on in!
Continue readingDuring this, the second year of writing Coldforged material, I have covered many topics in preparation to print as is possible. I believe I’m in the home stretch. I believe I’ve finished out the new series here about writing adventures and trying to get the flavor of Coldforged setting to come to life. As a final to that, I want to talk a little bit about the problem of NPC’s and the levels in character classes, and then talk about what I am working on to fix it!

I hope we’re in the home stretch. Here I’m continuing my atlas, turning from looking at the physical geography of the continent to the political geography of where they all live, this time focusing on the most impressive structures and natural locations in each region.

I hope we’re in the home stretch. I’m starting a new series here about writing adventures and trying to get the flavor of Coldforged setting to come through. This week, I talk a little about what It means to adventure in gritty and dark ages, and how to go about creating that feel.
