Major edits to book 1 of my #fantasy comedy series published today. Several chapters have seen polishing, while chapter 14 have seen major changes to its content, expanding it by 1000-2000 words.

Royal Road and downloadable pdf have both got the changes applied to them. You can read the improved book here: royalroad.com/fiction/40358/ne

Why has feeling tired been my normal since... Idk, birth? 😬 Stress really doesn't help. Well, gotta keep putting one foot in front of the other. Trying to get back to a better writing habit, work those creative muscles so I can write more fluidly when I sit down and get to it. Trying my best to keep the ball rolling without turning around and deleting everything (I do end up going back and enjoying what I've written in the end). Happy Monday, or in my case on third-shift, happy Second Monday!
Keep dreaming, keep creating,
~E.L.F.

#writerscoffeeclub 30 May. Who do you write for?

Myself, and my characters.The handful of people who read my work. Whatever other big Vampire Hunter D fans there are out there who'd like something to read set in a similar world, but with a protagonist that doesn't start out in god mode, and has an internal struggle against darkness that continues through the series.

Our guess today is a bit more a famous one. She is so famous that you might have guessed already. The background helps for sure.

Do you know her?

Being an indie writer?
It’s facing the algorithm alone.
It’s shouting into the void and still writing.
It’s learning tech you didn’t ask for, with a budget that laughs in your face.
But words matter.
Even the broken ones.
Creation matters.
Imagination is still rebellion.
And that’s enough.

My new golden rule. If I spot one AI anything in your work, and yes, I can tell. I'm never financially supporting you, ever, Authors, if you can't be bothered to write it, why should I pay for it, let alone read it? 404media.co/authors-are-accide #IndieWriter #IndieAuthor #AI #AIHype

This God is an old God. Almost forgotten. So far but so closed. This is not an European God.

Hurray for getting some writing done before work! (WOOOH!) Enjoyed playing some new singles from upcoming albums I'm excited about, while working on this chapter where my mercs are trying to get to this treasure in a tomb guarded by a fire spewing mechanical eye. Wondering if I'm putting enough tension into it, or if I'll have to fight to push more in on the second draft. We'll see.

Happy imaginings,
E.L.F.

Since I had Bloodloss enrolled in Kindle's exclusive program I had to wait until those terms expired to release the book elsewhere, but that's all good and done now. You can still purchase it on paperback through Amazon, but now the ebook edition is rolling out on other digital storefronts. You can grab it off of Barnes & Nobles to read on your Nook, buy it through Kobo, and plenty of others. I'm working on getting it live on the Google Play Book Store, as well as the Apple Book Store.

He is a famous God from Europe. He is everywhere. He is living in the sky. Worshipped? Only one part of Europe.
