Plans for the blog

There's a few things (besides basic updates and status) I've wanted to do for a long time. I'd been doing some of them on Facebook, but due to the cancerous algorithms, even people who followed my page rarely got to see updates amongst all of the paid advertising spam. So here we go, in no particular order.

Retrospectives: Basically go over the design process of each book. Some of them are fairly interesting, and only a handful were straight forward.

Word count: Every time there's a new book, or I do edits that change the word count of the books by more than a hundred words or so, I like to keep that updated. It's fun for me.

Artwork: I generated quite a bit of artwork for these stories. Not nearly as much as the webcomic project I did before this, but still quite a significant amount. Also to include the back story on each piece. Although I'm a little divided on whether I should do that here or on DeviantArt. We'll see. Maybe if the feedback is positive I'll keep it here.

Easter eggs: It'd be fun to capture all of the Easter eggs and characters somewhere. Right now its in a text file on my computer but I'm working on building it out.

Timeline: I have a high level timeline I've been keeping in Visio that tracks the story progress. It'd be fun to post that here so everyone could see. Also I'd like to make it more visually appealing, which would be fun.

So, anyway. As people slowly find my blog, hollar and let me know what you think.

PNW Affliction 1: Recycled - The Retrospective

PNW Affliction 1: Recycled - The Retrospective Alright. This's been a long time coming, and there's probably no real better place to start than at the beginning. Spoilers abound, although this's mostly "behind the story" type stuff. This book isn't actually the beginning of the story by any means. It's the beginning of the main character though, and it's how this whole "universe" got started. Basically I had a dream one night of walking and it getting progressively darker until there was no light left. Just like nearly every single one of my books, this started out with a basic premise. Really no more than a "first act" if you will. I wrote the first act, peppered in with some things that were real, like me having a cat that played with a plastic bag while I tried to sleep. I can't exactly remembered where the premise came from for act two, except that I've always been fascinated by recycling and the recycling logo. ...

3.18.2022 news

 Hi All. Book 22 is in the rear-view, and working on a very fun compilation, as well as super short stories (<1000 word stories) I call 'coffee stories' until I can find a new place and settle back down. (Replacing the content from the bunker tier on Patreon, with a lot higher, more consistent content. Posted here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/chancepaladin Patreon was taking way too much $, so I started a new site on 'coffee' link below. Putting the 'coffee' stories on there, which are typically under 1000 words and will be exclusive for the year I wrote them in. Then the next year they'll be exclusive to print. They're way less stress for me to write these tiny stories, as they take only about 45 min a piece, instead of days a piece in the case of a short story, or months in the case of a novel. On a personal note, the prospects of getting a new place (Again) are very grim. Not only are houses triple what they were the last time we bought a house, b...
