Status Update on Writing

Hello, I currently have three partially-completed chapters for NoFP, Team 8, and Out of the Darkness. I’ve hit a wee roadblock on NoFP trying to build up to a very complicated event that will throw the timeline completely into disarray.

Forum is down!

Sorry, the SQL server that hosts the Viridian Dreams forum has decided to take a vacation and refuses to work. I’m trying to convince it to come back by waving treacle tarts and dango in the general direction of the vacationing server, but it may take awhile. Rest assured, I’m trying to get it back [...]

Chapter 21 of Team 8 is now with Beta 1.5

Okay, what does that mean? It means first beta (Runsamok) has read all but the very last bit, so I went ahead and sent it on to Beta #2 — who will take the neccessary time to do it right.  Don’t poke the Bibliophile regarding his beta speed – nothing good can come of it.

Entries for the Cameo Contest

Stupid plot bunny… Naruto’s Ultimate Technique

…assaulted me in Skype today when someone from my gaming group made a comment about Naruto’s Ultimate Technique ™ In retrospect, everyone agrees that they should have seen it coming. The peace of the Shinobi World was far too fragile, even after the great wars, to withstand old grudges. The opportunity was far too tempting [...]

Short story published in Anthology

Friends, I have a confession to make. Some of my writing time has been… diverted… to a side project. I was invited by Jim Bernheimer to contribute a short story to “Horror, Humor, and Heroes Volume 2: New Faces of Fantasy.” It’s now available on Amazon, a little sooner than I expected, here: http://astore.amazon.com/viridiandreams-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=17  I haven’t [...]

Writing Progress

  Just to let everyone know – no stories have been abandoned. I am, however, going to move away from the strictly alternating scheme I’ve been doing. To put it simply – I have several scenes in each story that I’m trying to work out in my head. When I arrive at the optimal solution [...]
