Exile

Exiled from the world when humanity rejects the chaos of its newfound magic, Deanna and the brother who once died to protect her must somehow survive in their new home: a dark city formed of mish-mashed memories and ruled by gangs, none of which are more ruthless than the vampire family ruled by Russell Ford.

Tower of Nine

An urban fantasy detailing a time of upheaval and change for an enchantress and her family, who are deeply involved in the magical community although their motives tend more toward the gray then the pure.

Shorts and Flash

A collection of assorted short or flash pieces with no common thread between them, although some share a setting: Lithmeria, the MUD I'm involved with developing. Many were inspired by ProseChallenge or 30fic prompts.

Prose

Most of the works here are short pieces of literary prose, or guides and instructional articles.

Premium Changes & Life

Journal Entry: Wed Nov 18, 2009, 12:52 PM




Bloop.

I've upgraded to Premium Membership. I rather like it--the twitter feed is nice, but what I really like being able to have the EXILE and Flash galleries showing instead of the New Pieces stuff. I'm also kind of fond of the sit-back feature for my favorites, although it's a bit annoying that I can't randomize it so I see the same picture every time I reload.



There's less than a week of school left, which is actually quite scary; finals are coming up, and I have a lot of reading to do. Thanksgiving is coming up and there are 3 birthdays soon (including my own), so my studying time is going to be pretty short. I have to worry about getting in the rest of my hours for my research assistant job before the end of the year so I can make a decent amount of money and keep the job next year. I want to start doing more posts for Hope on Remand (my blog, about life after college, that I do with a friend--but we took a brief hiatus for NaNoWriMo so we could focus our writing there). I want to write more: I want to get not just EXILE but TOWER OF NINE and maybe even CHARM CITY CHARMS finished... if ANATHEMA taught me nothing else, it's that I really do love all three of those stories.



I've been trying to get more involved here at deviantART, find other people to create beta/critique/reading relationships with. I think I've been doing well with that.



Anywho, back to the writing. I just wanted to set up the new journal CSS and mention the upgrade (I can do critiques now, woot!)

Thank you for collecting jon.com. You are a fanatasy writer, I see. Then you might want to check out my novel Fellowship of Psys too. It would suit your tastes perfectly.
:iconeldestmuse:
I believe I will do so, though I enjoy reading most types of genre fiction. I just usually write urban fantasy.

Thank you for recommending it =)

Contrary to popular opinion, the plural of 'anecdote' is not 'fact.'

You're welcome. I hope I hear more from you soon. I must remember to sample your writing too.
