I suppose it's about time for an update. Heh heh. 
          
          I have gotten more done with Broken Warriors. Matter of fact, I actually have the whole outline done now. I've since taken a small break to work on another project that hit me in the face and demanded my attention like a needy tsundere, lol. I've discovered the art of using one project to procrastinate on another project so I'm always getting something done.
          
          I'll go ahead and say that the new project is an Obey Me fanfiction. I'm basically working on novelizing my playthrough of the game and I'm so excited for it. A romantic comedy with a good mix of supernatural drama. I feel like it's gonna be a lot of fun to write. I already have some scene ideas written out. The main thing I'm trying to get together before I really start drafting out chapters is the timeline. I'm going to be adding scenes based on some of the chat stories and I'm trying to have them happen during times that would make sense within the main storyline, if that makes sense, lol. If you play the game you'll understand better.  
          
          Back on the topic of Broken Warriors, I'm about to the point of taking a break from the OM fic and switching back to it. I'm currently rewatching the anime and reading through the manga so I'll have the characters' behaviors and such fresh in my mind again. I also did a lot of work on the sisters' demon heritage so they're no so generic. After doing more research on Rakshasa demons, I found that they had a lot of lore and abilities that would be really fun to incorporate, so I'm looking forward to this improved version of the demon sisters. 
          
          The world has been a really crazy place lately so I hope everyone is safe. Until next time!

Alright, I think the craziness in my life has calmed down for the time being. So maybe, just maybe, this means I can get some more writing done. 
          
          I can say, despite my inactivity on here, I've still been working things out in the Broken Warriors story.  Slowly, but surely. I actually have the outline for part one done and am well into outlining the second part. (Both parts will be in the same book.) So yeah, progress has been had! Lol. Stay safe out there!  ✌

I'm seeing so many people get some writing done and I'm just over here like, "I'm essential." Lol. But seriously, I never expected my delivery gig to become so important to people, but it is and I'm just happy I have the training and experience to help keep people safe while I serve them. I know how to prevent cross-contamination and properly sanitize everything I use for my job so I'm working a little extra to help do my part during all this craziness. This does mean that my writing and everything else is at a bit of a standstill, but hopefully this virus calms down a little in the next couple of months, that or I get my schedule balanced back out. Either or. Stay safe everyone!

*Reads that I said I would be back to working on stuff in January.*
          
          Lol, oops. Well, that obviously didn't happen. Things got even more crazy in January. But hey, it happens. 
          
          I can say that I've been working on scheduling in time to start working on stuff again this month. With everything I'm trying to balance it isn't going to be as much as I would like, but it'll be something. 
          
          Also, I've been seeing stuff on Twitter about Wattpad having problems with people's stories suddenly disappearing. I checked an none of my stuff appears to be missing, though two chapters of the old version of Broken Warriors got republished somehow. Chapters 1 and 10. And chapter 10 got moved to like the 5th chapter spot too. Odd, but at least nothing is missing. 
          
          Anyway, I hope you all are having a good 2020 so far and hopefully I'll be around more here soon with updates. Laters!

Happy holiday season, everyone! 
          
          Between the business of the holidays and my household being struck with the plague, I've naturally had to step away from my creative works for a bit. I'm pretty sure that's how it's going to be until the season is over as I'm going to need to focus on balancing out finances as well thanks to this time spent sick. I'll come back swinging come, let's say two weeks into January? Things should be calmed down and caught up enough by then. 
          
          That being said, I've decided to change up what I'm doing with the short stories I started writing for Inktober/Fictober. I'm always coming across fun prompts on Tumblr and have a few I really want to try my hand at saved. So, that "Fun with Ink and Prompts" book is going to be changed into "Fun with Prompts" and rather than it being just for Inktober/Fictober prompted works, it's going to be where I put any and all prompted work. I'm thinking I'll make a book for other short stories that just came to me without the help of a prompt too. I'm hoping to make these random books into places for me to play with ideas that could possibly be used more later and to just have an outlet for all these random ideas that come to me. I think it'll be fun. ^.^ 
          
          Well, I hope this season is treating you all well and I can't wait to share more stuff with you all next year.  I have some exciting goals set for myself for 2020, so stay tuned!

Update!
          
          Well, I have a bit of good news. I've been working one Broken Warriors again! Allowing myself to take a break and work on something else for a bit seems to have helped quite a bit, so I'm going to keep allowing myself to work on smaller things on the side from here on out. I unfortunately don't have any chapter updates to post yet as my focus has been on filling plot holes in the storyline and better mapping out how to get to the ending I want. But hey, the story has been getting closer to completion every week this month so that something. 
          
          I gotta say, writing BW has been quite the learning experience. When I first started writing it I hade no plan other than to wing it with each chapter and see what happened. That was probably the mistake that has caused me to take so long getting this story done. There's so much to fixxxxx, lol. But this will be a benefisual experience that'll help me with future novels. 
          
          My current plan is to finish up the draft before I start posting updates again, which I'm hard at work on, so stay tuned!

I'm having difficulty getting myself to continue work on Broken Warriors, unfortunately. I believe I'm experiencing a bit of burn out. I haven't allowed myself to work on anything else, wanting to push through and finish it. I'm now thinking that backfired a bit, lol. Not to mention, I got hit with some bs life bs a couple of weeks ago and am working to bounce back from that still. 
          
          So, to help remedy this, I'm going to work on other things for a bit. As I mentioned in my last update, I'm planning on participating in Inktober so I'm hoping working on something new will help gear me back up for Broken Warriors, just in time for NaNoWriMo! 
          
          That's all I have for now. Keep doing you, and remember to take time to take care of yourselves. Until next time! ^.^

Hey everyone, I've fallen behind on posting and writing and am sorry for the lack of updates. I've been having a stressful time with work-related stuff. However, I'm hoping things will calm down here soon and allow me to get back on a schedule. So, just to update you all a little bit, despite work issues, I'm going to shoot for participating in Inktober this year. Since I left you all at a small cliffhanger in chapter 6 (I'm soo sorry for that by the way! I wasn't planning on crap hitting the fan right afterward the last chapter update.) I'm going to shoot for getting the next chapter out before I go full-on into Inktober projects. I'm going to try doing a mix of writing and drawing this year, which I'm excited for. ^.^ I'll, of course, make an Inktober 2019 book with whatever I manage to get done, but for updates during the Inktober challenge, feel free to check out my Tumblr (noxchyc). I will be taking a break from working on Broken Warriors while participating in Inktober, but rest assured I will dive right back into it afterward.
          
          Well, that's all I have for you all for now. Have a wonderful day/night and I'll see you next time. ^.^

With the addition of chapter 3, my story, Broken Warriors, now qualifies for the 2019 Watty Awards.  >.>   Wondering if I should submit it or wait for the next one. Wisdom says I should wait till the story is a little more complete, but I've wanted to submit something to the Wattys for a long time now. What do you all think? Entering now could possibly motivate me to work harder on getting edits done and new chapters posted a little quicker. But if I submit it now and it turns out to be a complete flop due to there not being enough story, would that ruin my chances for submitting it in the next  Watty Awards?

Alrighty, I've decided to finally start posting the revised version of Broken Warriors! I'll leave the old version up a little while longer before taking it down. I'm excited to see how the revised version does. ^.^ Only the first chapter is up, but the others will follow before long. Go check it out and let me know what you think!
