Finishing To Start Again

In Publishing News this week,

Craicer

Now with timestamps like X-Files.
As it seems the logic thing is to expand the first set of events into different chapters beyond the second. That means that I'm now in 2307 that will be only a scene in the past but set up a bit of the world & apparently their will now some generational time skips in the WIP.
Or I set up a Prologue?🤔
With my snails pace I'm not very keen on the idea but it won't destroy everything only explain a little bit more, which shouldn't be a bad thing.

Shipwreck, if it gets even bigger I really have to think about splitting it in books & care about publishing (after all the other fine stuff).
Sadly my RPG-DM brain is in Ultra Stress Mode & now demands cleaned-up source material like timeline, maps, etc, switching to chapter(book?) centric WIP's & to not make any lore mistakes (that's ridiculous I am the lore writing person nothing is released other than here the WIP related answers).

Do particular kinds of animals show up in your writing?

The Desolation series is set on an alien planet and I'm drawing inspiration from Devonian period (with a dash of Silurian and Carboniferous) for the plants and animals. So a lot of giant crustaceans and pre-dinosaur nasties. Fun stuff.

Before Viral Was a Thing: Mariachi vs. Migra

There’s a series of stories I’ve been carrying for a while—stories that needed telling.But before I share the rest of my collection, I wanted to start here, with this oneto test the waters and see if my words find a home with you. These stories come from a place of memory, humor, and a little bit of heart—snapshots of moments that shaped me and the world around me.Some are light, some are raw, but all carry the thread of where I come from.It is my hope to one day publish these as a […]
