Final Update Posted

I’ve just posted the final update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW RP forum. This week marks the last entry to Alayne’s Story and finishes the story.

Will I ever pick it back up again? I doubt it. It’s possible. If Blizzard releases an expansion worth the effort, I might. But, it’s really doubtful. Alayne’s Story is winding down. The characters have spent years fighting for peace. Now it is time for them to enjoy that peace.

And now, it’s November. That’s National Novel Writers Month. So I’d best get back to work. 🙂

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW RP forum. This week’s update introduces the destruction of Theramore and the Disorder of Azeroth’s somewhat unconventional manner of dealing with Garrosh’s growing tyranny.

I think that next week’s update will be the last update. I’ve been spending my time working on other projects as well as leveling my US characters up to 90. And now, I need to get back to all of that!

Keep an eye on this space because I have a couple of major announcements coming up in the next few weeks. For now, back to work!

Yeah, you didn’t really think it would end with the end of Dragon Soul, did you? 😉

I’ve been working on various things in the background and should have some new announcements for everyone in the next few months. For now, I need to get back to my other projects so off I go!

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story. This week’s update covers the very last fight in Dragon Soul: the Madness of Deathwing.

My old computer finally went kaput so I’ve not been able to get much writing done. It got to the point of where if I had my word processor running and tried to do ANYTHING else, the computer would crash. If I had my browser open and even THOUGHT about going to YouTube (or loading a page with a video in it), the computer would crash. If I tried to run World of Warcraft, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Dragon Age, etc: crash. And I don’t mean the programs would crash. I mean the computer would blue screen and go into a boot and reboot cycle.

The culprits were a mixture of not enough of a cooling system and the video card being temperamental. I’d been planning to get a new computer (I had just hoped to not have to trash the old one completely) and it got here yesterday. It’s easily the most awesome computer I’ve ever owned.

But now, back to work! Midnight of Lanar’ya ain’t going to write itself!

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW RP forum. This week’s update takes the characters through the Spine of Deathwing encounter. Next week, we’ll be finishing out Dragon Soul and getting ready to wrap up the story entirely.

Some of you have emailed me asking why there have been weeks between updates. It’s because my computer is on the fritz. It’s crashing a lot. I suspect the video card mostly but I can’t prove it. It never acts up when I’m monitoring it. Don’t worry, I’ve gotten a new computer ordered and it should be here within the next couple of weeks.

And now, back to working on Midnight of Lanar’ya!

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story on the WoW RP forum. This week’s update takes the characters through the Ultraxion and Blackhorn encounters in Dragon Soul.

Some of you have emailed me to ask if I plan to revise Part IV and to make the whole thing available on various ebook sites. I am considering it. If I do, it will have to be for free because I really do not want Blizzard’s legal department coming after me. I will probably ask a friend of mine to do some covers and a few illustrations for the books if I do decide to go that direction.

For now, I have work to be about so I’d best get back to it. 🙂

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW RP forum. Today’s update wraps up the Yorshaj and Hagara encounters in the Dragon Soul raid dungeon.

Life has gotten almost back to normal for me now. I’m working my way through Midnight of Lanar’ya and, once it’s published (I’m tentatively eyeing a Q4 2012 release) and the next book is underway, I’ll have more free time to dedicate to my next major undertaking. As always, keep an eye on my author site for the latest news there.

For now, I’m going to play a little WoW on my US account and then get some more math homework done before settling in for a long writing session. I’m going to have my vision checked tomorrow and get some glasses so that I’m not frickin’ blind by 11 pm anymore.

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW RP forum. Today’s update (there will be two this week) takes the characters through the first two encounters in the Dragon Soul raid dungeon.

Life has been absolutely insane for me lately. Added together with the fact that I’m 1) teaching myself higher mathematics because I’ve half-decided to pursue a degree in Physics in my spare time, 2) I’m working on Midnight of Lanar’ya, 3) my eyesight is getting worse (appointment for glasses this Friday!) so that, after about 10:30 pm, I’m functionally blind, and 4) I’ve been forced to deal with irrational, overly-emotional crazy women last week and it’s probably down to sheer luck and laziness that I haven’t nuked the world from orbit. Just to be sure, you know?

My new job is going well, though. My bosses and I are getting used to each other and I’m finding it very enjoyable to be raising my company’s profile via social media and blogging. I’m also learning new things every day about an area of life I had little interest in before now (getting paid to be interested in something is quite an encouragement to develop said interest toute de suite) as well as blogging about things that interested me anyway. It’s win-win. I’d love to get back into the industry I was in, though, but I’m not too fussed about it at the moment.

Some people have asked me what happened with going to law school. I’ll give you a quick answer that I’ll expound upon later. Short answer: it’s too expensive and too many lawyers can’t find work in law at the moment due to the economy sucking a big egg. So, I’ve decided to stay in the market working and save up my money for a degree in science (provided I can master the math). Later in life, if I decide I want to get a law degree and I have sufficient money to do so without having to choose between eating and school, then sure, I might get one then. Not to become a lawyer but simply because law, like physics, is something I’ve always been somewhat interested in.

And now, I’m going to sleep while I can still see well enough to get back to my room.
