On Time Twice!

Hi all!

New chapter is out today, and on time too! These next couple of chapters are pretty lore heavy, so you'll be learning more about the overarching society that is part and parcel of the world of Babel. We will be moving on from lore-dumps in a bit, and should get some more interesting bits of action within 4 or 5 chapters if that's more your thing. Either way, I am actually starting to build up a back-log of chapters again, so that's a positive thing. If I can get up to 10 I should be set up comfortably.

What have I been up to this week? Writing, working, making curry. Not much really. I finished Consider Phlebas, which was cool. So I might start reading The Player of Games soon. Alternatively I might read some other authors I like, as I still haven't read the new Mistborn book and Brandon Sanderson is one of my favourite authors.

Either way, here's the new chapter:

Chapter 29 - Fallen Kings and Golden Children

Have fun, and if you feel like it, support me on Patreon or something.

WHAT? A Post On Time?

Hi all!

Good news everybody! I seem to be back on track (at least a little). I have managed to give myself a bit of a new buffer, and should be back to regularly posting on Monday and Friday! I'm sorry about my tardiness, but when you lose your buffer and shit keeps going wrong, you have to work real hard to fix these things. The chapter is out, and it is the creation myth  of the world, explaining a little about how the tower was born and what it was born from. It also gives a name to the absolute god of the series, so there's that.

What have I been up to? Getting well, trying to write, playing Binding of Issac way too much, and reading Consider Phebias by Iain M. Banks. It's a one of those series I have been meaning to read for way too long, so I'm just sitting down and reading it. I'm half way through though, so not too long now :3

Either way here's the chapter:

Chapter 28 - Luke Jeshua

Have fun!

Being sick is hard.

Hi all!

So I've been sick recently, and that's not exactly been helpful for me writing Babel. Instead I've been writing fever-dream like pieces for Expers (which I will be releasing some time after I finish chapter 10). I've cut down a lot now that I feel a bit better, but I am still behind on babel, which is currently my big thing. It is not helpful. Once I have got a backlog of Babel I will properly begin working again.

Either way, here's the chapter:

Chapter 27 - Plains of Fire

Have fun!

Wowzers I Suck!

Hi all!

Very late chapter, four days in fact. I don't know why but I have been finding this chapter REALLY hard to write. I was stuck on 200 words for about three days. I've pushed past it now, and am moving onto the next part of the book, the one I know most vividly, and introduces a character who I really like the idea of. Next week I want to get back to publishing two Babel chapters a week, as well as push out the Viridian Sovereign AND work on my third planned series, a modern day demon hunting series with levels and stuff. That one is called Expers, and is instentionally going to have super short chapters and be published in bulk, so we will see if I actually get it published at all.

What have I been doing while not being able to write? Played Issac. I've played almost 100 hours of that game now. I am seriously addicted HALP.

Anyway here is your chapter!

Chapter 26 - The Fourth Test

Have fun!

TRIPLE UPDATE!

Hi all!

True to my word, I have a pretty awesome surprise for you, I have three chapters to release today! Two are for Babel, but one is for my new series, The Vermilion Sovereign. I hope that makes up slightly for my lack of posting over Christmas! I like these chapters, and they are slowly building up to the end of the first major arc of Babel, but that will likely not happen before maybe the thirtieth chapter. 

What have I been up to other than writing? Well, not much really. Recently I watched Rick and Morty, and I have been looking for something to fill that void, but TV around this time becomes a bit crap. Other than that I played a LOT of Binding of Issac and hunted for new jobs, when I was not working. It's actually been pretty fun. 

Some of you might remember Lazarus, the other piece I have been working on. I still would like for that to continue, but I currently cannot summon the effort to plan for that story, for some reason. So that one might be on the back-burner for a little while. If and when I decide to work on it again, I will update and release it, but until then you will be waiting.

One more thing. I will not be updating the Vermilion Sovereign often, but it will be out at least once a month. I am currently only writing it when I am burnt out with Babel, but if it picks up some steam then I might have more incentive to write it.

Either way, here are the chapters:

Chapter 24 - The Gemstone Tree
Chapter 25 - The Statue

Chapter 1 - Leaving

Hiatus over!

Hi all!

So this was a trek, I was originally intending to be posting over the Christmas period, but fate seemed to have other ideas. I have been posting on my girlfriend's laptop for the last month due to not getting my computer out of a box, but she was away over the winter period so I had to finally get my desktop. Unfortunately my computer died for no reason, then I tried everything I could to work out what was wrong with it, but I couldn't for days. Finally I worked out it was either my GPU or my monitor, or the cables in-between. It turns out that thanks to lack of use, the fan of my GPU was so packed with dust it would not work. This took me a week to work out. The second issue was that after a week of no writing I had lost my flow, and had no idea how to continue. This was fixed TODAY, so you will be receiving as many chapters as I can write this week, perhaps three, four, or maybe even six. This will be a MEGA publication week!

In the mean time, here is the first chapter! Have fun!

Chapter 23: The Tuinians
