I've had Hazel, Howie, Hervey... And now I'm breaking down and using Henry as a name. (I had it on the back burner for reasons I don't want to go into.)

Not to mention that I want to use Hector sometime soon.

Anyway! New story that's been cooking for a while is suddenly starting to take full shape. I need more free time to write. ;A;

Geckos, Automata is coming out eventually, but it has encountered some setbacks. One of the biggest is that I dislike how many of the later chapters are written, and now I'm going through and rewriting them. Guess my writing has improved quite a bit in the last three years, if it needs that amount of tweaking.

It'll be worth the wait. Promise.

I'm beginning to think I need to sit on drafts several years before I share them. That should allow enough time for me to edit them repeatedly, take a break for a year or two, and come back with fresh eyes to fix the glaringly obvious issues, right?! :D

Anyhow, Geckos is happening.

We'll see about anything else after that.

I do want to make something of a playlist for Geckos. Earlier today, I put on FF7 Remake's Train Graveyard music (I don't know the title, but maybe it's "Train Graveyard"), and it felt so suitable for Geckos. It's such a haunting and beautiful light melody. Very fitting for a story that mostly takes place at train stations and is about necromancy and ghosts!

(And automatons and abuse! Oh wait.)

Then "The Past" from Shadow Hearts II came on just a few minutes ago, and I thought, "This is a nice song for a Geckos playlist!"

I have decided I will not actually make a full playlist yet, but I will in the future, with characters/scenes that the songs might make me think of?

Anyway, links to youtube for the two songs I mentioned in this post tonight:

Train Graveyard from FFVII Remake
The Past ~ Personal History from Shadow Hearts II (by Yasunori Mitsuda)

I'm Cal, he/him, in my late 30s.

There will be a directory added here later, if I feel like adding actual chapters or excerpts to any of my novels. So this is a placeholder.

You will find nothing but my writing here. Nothing else. Just my writing. That's all I will post is content related to my stories, characters, worldbuilding, etc. Nothing else. Doesn't interest you? Not sure why you're here then but have a good day and the door is over there to more interesting pastures. :)

I am not going to follow anyone on this account or interact with their blogs, I have another account for that. This is a secondary one. Just a head's up.

Not all posts will be public. I imagine most of them will be access-only.

I might repost Seasons here, under a different title and with additional chapters and major edits. Can't say when that'll be, and I might change my mind. Too early to say how I feel about it yet.
