Sense Chapters

So guys, I figured with the fact that Sense is already released, I just put all the chapters on the 1$ tier. I would still 100% suggest reading on Amazon instead if you can, because the editing makes it 100% better. I do ask if you can, please review. It's very helpful for getting visibility. 

However, that puts it in an awkward spot for my tiers. I'm just going to try and get them up as quickly as possible, and once I get the appropriate number of chapters ahead, I'll start making...

Insight Chapter 3 - Fire or Help or Blood or Darkness or Alone?

Hey guys! Wanted to say thank you for helping make my release of Sense amazing. I couldn't have done it without you! <3 I have one request, if you haven't left a review on Amazon, I would adore it if you could help me with that. 

As for this chapter, yay end of fight scenes for a little while, hopefully! I hate fight scenes! I also can't decide what to call this chapter. Any of those titles look good? Or another you think would be better? Let me know.

Stay home, stay safe,...

Insight Chapter 2 - Transference

Hey guys! Sorry, this chapter was harder for me to write.  I have always struggled with fight scenes, so the fact that that's basically this book is so far is killing me a little, but it's a necessary thing, so I hope you guys at least like it. >.< 

ARCs went out Saturday, hopefully you got them! You need to download in the next few days before the links expire when it goes up on Amazon.  I would ask that if possible, you guys submit reviews on Amazon when it does g...

Insight Chapter 1 - Monsters

Hey guys! Things are coming! I'm hoping to get as much done as possible in the next two weeks because I'm in that awkward phase where the edited version of book 3 is going to be out and people are still on the unedited chapters here and on RR.  Now that my university has closed down because of the whole epidemic thing, I'm pretty much home bound for the next month or so most likely, so I'm hoping to get lots of writing done! 

I'm so excited for you guys to get the edited versi...

Insight possible prologue

Hey guys, so I started to work on Insight last night.  I'm still not 100% sure how I feel on this,  so I figured I'd put it here and see what ya'll thought. It's not a full chapter, so I'm not moving the tiers. 

YAY Things are happening!

Guys, I'm so happy to finally announce that Sense will be available on Amazon come March 27th!  Any 5$+ Patrons will get the advanced reader copy emailed to them a week before that, so make sure you watch your emails and also let me know if the email that's attached to your patreon is different than where you want it sent. 

If you want to preorder, you can find it here:   2020-03-04 03:19:31 +0000 UTC View Post

Sense Epilogue

It's kinda short, but eh. It's the epilogue. 

Sense Chapter 46 - Celebrate

Hey guys! 

I know it's been a while, and I'm sorry for that.  I'll be honest, I've been struggling to write this last month plus. I wanted so badly to finish the book, but I've been seriously sick and stressed out, which only led to more sickness, which in turn fueled what I believe is probably seasonal depression.  The entirety of it basically just made me feel like a failure, so I really wanted to apologize for dropping off the face of the planet for the last bit. I'll ...

Sense Chapter 45 - ???

Hey guys! I hope you're all having a happy holiday season! I don't know what to name this chapter, so if you have any ideas, feel free to share! 

It's been a crazy few weeks with classes coming to an end and the holidays, helping one of my best friends move out of state and then my roommate's mom died, so it's been...busy, with me being sick a lot on top of that. Winter is not kind to my weakened immune system.  The good news is that all of that is finally over! (Well, except ...

Sense Chapter 44 - Zoo

Hey guys! I'm finally back from Vegas. I went to the 20booksto50k conference and got to spend some time with a bunch of other amazing authors and learn how to better use my craft! It was a pretty inspiring week, even if I came home exhausted. I feel like I learned a lot, both about writing and how to try and take care of myself in the creative sphere. 

Thank you for your love and support! I was also accepted this week as a guest panelist for LTUE this coming February, so hopefully ...

Sense Chapter 43 - Challenge

Hey guys! So I've gotten 2/3 of my tests back, the ultrasound and CT came back clean thankfully, but I've still got some gene testing results I'm waiting on, so that's fun. That and my school has decided employees can no longer use the campus health services, so I have to find a new doctor. Yay me? Not really looking forward to that. 

I hope the rest of you are having a good weekend anyway! <3 Thanks as always for your support! We're getting close to the end, and I think I'll ha...

Sense Chapter 42 - Niloi

Hey guys! Sorry again for not posting recently. I've been pretty sick and I really struggled with this chapter for some silly reason. I got an ultrasound of my Thyroid, and then got an ominous call from my doctor that "we got your results back and we need you to come in soon" and then they couldn't schedule me for a week, so that's been hanging over my head. 

On a happier note, yesterday was the one year anniversary for when Siphon was published! You should check out the Siphon fac...

Sense Chapter 41 - Mothers

Hey guys!

Sorry, I know it's been a while, but I hope you've all been well! This month has been absolutely crazy, with Dragon Con, FanX, trying to find a place to live, moving, being a bridesmaid in my old roommate's wedding, and buying furniture and unpacking. The good news is that all that is finally over! (Well, everything except the unpacking. I'm still doing that.)  Point is, life is finally back to normal! (mostly.) 

I did also just get my blood work back yesterday...

Sense Chapter 40 - Burn/Today?

Hey guys! 

I'm sorry it's been a while, with Dragoncon, FanX, finding a new place to live and getting ready to move, plus helping my roommate with wedding plans, it's been... a crazy few weeks.  I'm really hoping that despite all that, I can finish soon so that Sense can either come out or be put up on preorder for my one year anniversary of Siphon's publishing! That's the goal at least. Just gotta finish up day 15. ^_^ 

I hope all of you have been well! I really ap...

Sense Chapter 39 - Stories

Hey guys! So, this was supposed to be a stat chapter, then as I was going through updating stats and doing my first edit for those chapters, I realized I had forgotten a few things, so that's how this chapter came about. Also, I've had a weird amount of people ask me about my dating life in the last 24 hours. 

So yeah, stats NEXT chapter! They're done, so at least there's that. It was a crazy first week of school, I am SO glad it's over and that I didn't kill any of my students or ...

Sense Chapter 38 - Wall

Whew, got more done! This is a longer chapter because I was trying to fit everything in. Am happy to basically have this day over though, just one more and the book will FINALLY be done! Day being over means the next chapter has a stat sheet though....yay. 

I can't decide which I hate more: trying to find a modest bridesmaid dress in a color that isn't a real color(seriously, Marsala is not a real color. Someone is making crap up.) Or trying to find a new place to live. I am very p...

Pretty Merch!

So I finally got my merch back from...well, everywhere! I'm super excited, thought I'd share because I think it's so dang pretty! My brain is exhausted because I unpacked over a hundred mugs and repacked them again today and moved them around and to my car and up three flights of stairs and all the fun jazz. 

Here's the important part. I ordered more than I want so that if others wanted them, they could get them, and I'm giving first crack at that to my patrons, because you guys ar...

Sense Chapter 37 - Earth

Seriously, none of these delegations are conforming to my plans for them. 

Sense Chapter 36 - Breathe

Okay, finally got this chapter done! Again, not sure on the title, so if you've got a better one, hit me with it.  Hopefully y'all enjoyed my mad writings in the middle of the night last night. XD I was laying in bed trying to sleep and the idea would not get out of my head, and I knew I wasn't going to get any sleep until I wrote it down because I was paranoid I'd forget. So yeah. I just realized my summer is coming to an end, which is sad because with as sick as I've been, I'm not real...

Survivalist Chapter 1

Okay guys, I know this isn't what you were looking for.  I'm about half done with the next chapter of Sense and I finally realized why it's been so hard for me to write these chapters: politics. I kinda hate them. So as I was attempting to fall asleep tonight, my brain, as it's wont to do, started straying on a tangent that suddenly made me wide awake, and hence... Survivalist was born. Something new to try and get my creative juices flowing again.  Don't worry, I'm not abandoning S...

Sense cover art!

So, the AMAZING Sandara did these sketches in a day based on the ideas I sent her! I am so excited, because I think they're absolutely beautiful! I did finally decide to go with #1, but the bird from 2 will also be on the back, as well as some of the flowers, so I'm freaking thrilled! Also, she's going to be redoing the cover for Adapt afterwards, so all the covers will match and have the same style! I am over the moon! More beautiful art to come! <3 

Sense Chapter 35 - Swear? Any?

I haven't decided on the title for this chapter, but I'm looking at Swear or Any. Ideas? 

 So, looking at my outline for the rest of book three, I’ve decided to move some things around because if I stuck to the original plan, it’s going to end up way too long and I’m already way behind when I wanted it done. So some of the meetings and the ball timing have changed. I’m not going to go back and fix it just now, I’ll leave that for when I do my edits for publishing, so...

Sense Chapter 34 - Advocate

Hey guys, sorry. I thought I was better, but I obviously wasn't. I'm going to be going to the doctor to see what's wrong, because I suspect I need to change my medication with how miserable I've been for nearly the last month or more. Hope you're all having a good week!

Sense Chapter 33 - Tea

Hey guys, I'm finally back and feeling a bit better.  It's been crazy with my brother's wedding, family being in town, and just general sickness. I've woken up with a migraine every day for over a week, so that's been...fun.

Aside from that, this chapter was...NOT the direction I intended to go with this delegation, so that took some mental acrobatics to figure out the new path. Here's to hoping they can redeem themselves somehow, because I actually liked them until I figured out w...

Sense Chapter 32 - Testing

Hey guys, sorry, I've been super sick the last...well, two weeks really, but this last week was bad. And then it was father's day and Xan's birthday, so yeah. It's been a little busy.  My oldest brother is actually getting married this weekend, so I have NO idea how much time I'll have, but hopefully I'll be able to write during the long travel times I've got.  Hope you're having a great start to the week! 

Happy one year anniversary of Siphon!

I just wanted to write and say a quick thank you all for your support! One year ago today, I woke up from a cool dream and feverishly started writing as fast as I could to get the idea down on paper.  One year later, I'm 350,000 words into the series, and that's just kinda amazing to me. <3 I'd never have been able to do it without the support of all you lovely people, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much! 

Just a couple fun reminders! I was spotlighted by the ...

Sense Chapter 31 - Jeremy

Well, this might look rather familiar to you, because I had half of it written a while ago, but it's finally time to use it! <3 

Sense Chapter 30 - Delegations

Happy Saturday! Sorry this one took me so long to get up, I was having trouble writing it and I've been pretty sick the last few days again. Still not feeling great, but I finally got this written! 

One thing about the chapter I'm not 100% happy with is the name rooda. If any of you can come up with a better species name that includes roo, do tell. ^_^ 

Sense Chapter 29 - Rain

Hey guys, happy Saturday! (It's after midnight, so I guess the day changed...) As you can see, I haven't decided which title to use. Rain? Clouds? Special? Any preferences?

Oh, so fun news! I've finally made progress on getting my art turned into etchable icons. The merch will soon be in the works! I'm super excited, so I thought I'd share what I have. The butterflies are not a final version, as the lone white one looks... odd. 

Hope you're having a great weekend! <3 ...

Sense Chapter 28 - Unstoppable

Hey guys! I have finally finished going through and fixing my whole skill list and retrofixing the skill sheets, so those will hopefully be updated on amazon in the next few days. I have no idea when my publisher is uploading it and when it'll go into effect, but that's happening. 

With that said, I FINALLY got to focus on the current stat sheet, and woah...it's a doozy.  I've been doing this for days, so my brain is a bit fried, so that's all there is to this currently, but a...
