Update September/October 2020

Recently my computer died, so for a while I won't actually be able to update my site as much as I would like to as writing on my phone is very difficult. I had the first Antonia chapter going pretty well before it happened so hopefully once it gets resolved I can finish it up pretty quick and hopefully get my site back up and running on schedule. Until then expect updates to be few and far between if at all. Hopefully, I'll get this back soon but can't guarantee anything.

Update for August 2020

I don’t know if I’ve posted this before, but I usually leave the week before and the week after a story is published to give the story time to breathe on its own before I go back to publishing any other posts. This last week I also had some current event stress recently that prevented me from having one ready for today, so mostly this is an update to the main page.

So main updates I have a few ideas for some blog and fictional rant posts. I also need to sit down and write the “how I wrote Floral Cove” post. That one is just postponed because of stress and not any more substantial reason. 

I started writing a new story working with the Antonia storyline(A follow up to UWoF). There is going to be a prologue to it, opening up and exploring some of the characters who are alive but not directly interacting with the story currently but very relevant to the main story arc and may come up much later. This will lead to breaking into the first Antonia story. 

Now here’s a thing about Antonia’s story that I do think I myself have issues with. I don’t know how well I write a character like Antonia herself and as such her stories will come off as more first draft than some of my other stories. As such if you have constructive criticisms for Antonia or my storytelling of the events of her storyline feel free to leave such criticisms in the comments. 

So if you haven’t already, like and follow Razielsomething on Facebook to keep up to date on when those stories or other posts are coming.

Until then, see ya.

New update for the winter months.

So I've decided that I'm slowing done my content to once a week, and decided that I'll post them on Fridays.

My next fictional rant will be a bit about my writing process involved in my Starship Morningstar parodies series. I think I'll move onto a few others afterward if it does well. 

My next story I work on will probably be a return to the Imperial Age with Antonia taking the starring role. 

I might take time off writing stories before then to work on editing the UWoF story cleaning up some of the confusing or messy scenes.

Regular content coming in the next few weeks until the next story gets underway. Might be some interruptions there, but I'll try to keep things as regular as possible.

Lastly, my Archives page is up and usable now, blogs and fictional rants are sorted by date, and stories are sorted by which overarching story they belong to. 

Also if you haven't already, go vote!

Update

Okay, so there's not a new post today but there is an update, so I've got the story just about done, it's more adventures of the Starship Morningstar, so look forward to that.

I've got ideas for what I'm going to do for fictional rants coming up soon, and hopefully a good run into the next story without losing too much time.

I usually don't write much during winter, but since I had to take so much time off earlier this year due to family reasons, I'll try to keep updating here, I might have to adjust my publishing schedule to once a week, or once every other week, instead of twice a week. but either way I will try my best to keep writing this winter and hope what I write doesn't suffer for it.

That's all I have to say for today, thank you for reading and hope to see you return in a few days to catch my new story. 

Why the silence?

Well, some of you may be wondering why I haven't written much over the last few months. That's mostly to do with the fact that I'm less creative during the winter months. So I don't really feel the need to write as much during that time, and much of what I do could come out subpar. 

So instead of worrying about all that I usually do little writing during that time. I sometimes forget that I don't talk much to everyone reading this so some of you are left out of the loop of why I'm not writing. I apologize to you and promise once spring rolls around again you'll see much more content for this website again. 

If nothing really grabs my interest like the Paris attacks that sparked the I Was Angry post. then I usually will let the time go by with little to no posting, at least for now. We'll see if that changes over time. 

For those still wondering the next story was started before I stopped writing so I'll see if there's any chance of it being finished up by the end of January/February. If it's ready before then I'll let you know here. If it's not ready by then, it'll be ready end of March. The blog should be back to its regular activity about then. 

I must one again apologize as the story will not come out today, but good news the story is done I just have to edit it and set it up to be published so it'll come out tomorrow. 

So the story I've written that'll be out tomorrow, has opened the door to a few other stories. It takes place roughly two-thousand years after the event of my first story UWoF.  The stories that follow it are going to be a story about Antonia, immediately following the event of  UWoFand a   noir/cyberpunk story set years in the future of Falling Sky, the story coming out tomorrow. 

So good ideas for what's coming up, look forward to it, I know I'm looking forward to writing them.

Sorry for not having posted any blog posts in awhile, but I've been a bit busy and haven't really found the time. I am still working on the next story though and it's only a little bit behind schedule. Usually, it would come out today, but it needs a little bit more work so it'll be out next Friday don't worry it's almost done,  just needs an ending and an edit, I did all I could to get it out tomorrow, but to do so I'd have to forgo an edit, and it might have a few inconsistencies if I did that. So I'd rather get you a better story a week late than a sloppy one on time. 

Thank you for your patience and understanding I'll try to get back to writing blog posts again and tighten up my story scheduling so they can come out on time. 

I haven't posted blog posts or updates in awhile, and for that I do apologize.

Life has gotten rather troublesome recently and so it has delayed my work.

In addition to the negative delays, there are also the positive, the Dota 2 International group stages started last Monday, and the main event starts next week, and so that will delay my posts as well. 

The downside is that my story has actually taken the biggest hit, hopefully, it should be ready by next Friday, which is much later than I intended as I wanted it to be ready today. 

After it comes out next week I'll get started on the next one, and try to get back into the stream of writing blog posts, but we'll see, life hasn't worked itself out yet. 

Okay, I think I might change my scheduling starting this week, I'm only going to post two entries a week. so I can spend the time I would use to work on the third towards keeping the short stories running at one a month. 

So posts will be coming out on Tuesday and Friday. 

I'm only going to make two entries this week as I spend the time I would write up the third on finishing up the story. Which, is a little over a quarter of the way done.

The first entry will be  late, and come out tomorrow, rather than later today, but it will be one that is important to me, so do look forward to it. and the second one will come out Saturday at the latest. 

Every moment in between and after will be spent writing up the story. Going for having it ready by next week, definitely by the end of may, at the latest.

Today I go back on schedule with a blog entry coming out later today and a fictional rant coming in the middle of the week, and another blog entry to round out the week.

I'm going to try to get most of the work done early so I can spend some time working on the story, so I can finally get that up.  Hoping to have it ready before the end of may. Really looking forward to writing it.

sorry for the delay, I'm going to probably have to take this week off. I have a few things to do that'll make me just too busy to post, but I'll try to get things ready for next week. I'll be writing when I get the chance.

If I do manage to get anything finished I'll be sure to post it. I do have a few things planned and know what I'm doing with them, I just have limited time. 

Again, I apologize, but hopefully I'll get some things ready for next week and can get myself ahead again.

New blog post coming tomorrow, around 12 and a fictional rant coming on Tuesday or Wednesday and another new blog post coming on Friday or Saturday. That should be most of what I'm working on this week.

The other day I read a comment where someone said, "Bill Nye, was not a qualified scientist. He only has a degree in mechanical engineering." The reason this bothered me was, a degree is a qualification and mechanical engineering is an applied science. That makes him a qualified scientist.  He is also an actor with, "the Science Guy," being his persona, which people use to argue his qualifications. However, being an actor doesn't make your qualifications mean less. Mayim Bialik doesn't become less of a neuroscientist because she plays one on TV, she had a PhD, it doesn't magically disappear when she assumes the role of Amy on the Big Bang Theory. Bill Nye does not stop being a mechanical engineer when he portrays "The Science Guy."
