Finally back to writing today after a very restful and needed holiday weekend. I can’t wait to share the full story of OST when it’s done.
I’ve looked for several ways to improve character development, the structure of my prose, and the variety of each character’s personality.
The large number of author interviews I’ve done recently has given me new perspective on how I can serve my stories better.
My hope is that these steps suck you in and don’t let you go until you see the conclusion of Jin’s journey through a broken game.
Don't forget to check out the latest episode of Let's Read an Indie where I look at three great sequels to books I've already reviews by @stevegavin09@DWARussell22@AuthorLuisM

Just wrote the lynchpin scene in Veil Runners. It’s the most I’ve ever been emotionally impacted by writing. I really hope readers feel it and embrace it.
Veil Runners is 98% done.
Sorry if you’ve been waiting a long time for it.
Affordability and accessibility have been Nintendo’s key principles since the NES. If they maintain physical carts, they’ll leave Xbox and PS in the dustbin of history by 2029.
Fabricar un cartucho de Switch cuesta entre 12 y 15 dólares. Un disco de PS5, unos 6,50. Nintendo paga el doble (o el triple) y sigue apostando por el formato físico.

Oh spare me. I have mini vhs family tapes we watched last week. I think DVDs and even sturdier Blu-ray Discs will be just fine. Plus you can rip em to a hard drive.
Before streaming, I was a big DVD collector. I bought nearly a thousand movies. I thought I was building a library. And I will tell you a secret:
DVDs rot.
The glue that holds the layers together can become opaque so the laser doesn’t read the disc properly or it can simply degrade so the disc falls apart or it can warp or expand so the disc won’t spin properly in the drive.
So, in addition to needing to keep antique hardware with delicate moving parts in working order to play these games or watch these movies, the media itself is degrading.
Yeah, your purchased digital movie might get deleted from the network over rights issues at some point in the future or the service that provides it might shut down. But if you buy a BluRay and put it on a shelf for five years and then decide to watch it, there is a decent chance it won’t work.
I love a beautiful Criterion movie box set or a game with cool box art and a manual as much as the next guy, but people overly romanticize physical media. The universe is governed by entropy and everything is falling apart.
I wanted to post this here too, so everyone is updated:
Thank you all so much! I really appreciate the prayers. It was a pretty rough day, but they said I’m stable now and I have some future appointments setup to scan me more. They actually think it’s an esophagus issue that mimicked heart attack pain, which I’m thankful to hear 🙏
For those of you who pray, give some prayers for @Asher_Author. He’s in the hospital after having some minor heart attacks. I was supposed to be in stream with him today, but he said it was ok to let everyone know what was happening.
Wishing him good luck, prays, and Godspeed
@J0hnADouglas Thank you all so much! I really appreciate the prayers. It was a pretty rough day, but they said I’m stable now and I have some future appointments setup to scan me more. They actually think it’s an esophagus issue that mimicked heart attack pain, which I’m thankful to hear 🙏
