I read this back in the day, but it is pretty hard to get a hold of. I borrowed it from a friend back in the day. Pretty crazy.

Things DID get and feel tense as they were raiding the cache. I knew what was going to happen, and despite that, there was that distinct feeling of pressure as the enemy closed in on them.

I agree, it was a satisfying ending, and changed the inner sphere

I enjoyed it, but yeah, you can tell it was written in the '80s, for good and bad, and it certainly is window into that era, but it did help flesh out the Inner Sphere, though once again, novels/lore != game play hah!

A5 I mean, beyond buckling down, sitting down in front of YWriter, and actually working?

I've been trying to get household chores done as early as I can so I don't have them hanging over me when I'm trying to edit.
It's also difficult when I'm ALSO editing videos.

No, because I pronounce GIF with a hard G, and genasi with a soft G.

#WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions Day 1: Tai’s afraid of cryptids and predators, so if they encountered a penguin they’d have a pretty bad day. (The badness of their day would scale linearly from fairy to emperor.)

We are a month out, which means it is time for #WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions to help you deep dive into your wip(s).

In 3 1/2 hours, my new BattleTech book comes out digitally. Tomorrow you can order physical copies (you can preorder signed copies at my site now) It works as a standalone, too, in case you're not caught up on Fox Patrol.

A4 - yes, since I'm in the middle of revisions I have to incorporate a few changes, but make them look like they were always apart of the original. That can take several passes, and makes me question my life's choices some nights.

A3 For larger stories I usually have an outline, even if it's pretty vague, giving myself the option to pants. some of my best scenes (IMO) have come from a vague direction and seeing where the story unfolds!

Q3: Are you using a structured outline method for your #FirstDraftFall story? If your pantsing, do you have a general sense of direction of where your story will be going? #WeeknightWriters

A2 - West has to try and track down a woman who vanished in 1945, with few clues other than her last appearance was at a theater that caught fire the same year. The more he digs, the more he realizes he's getting in over his head

A1 I'm a little bit of ALL of these depending on the project. However, I'm primarily a combination of Lawful Plantser and Neutral Plantser. I usually have an outline, know how it will end, but still need to get from point A to Point b, by way of point zed and back tracking

Q1: Since we're talking about plot, we figured it would be fun to see how you plot! Based on this nifty chart, what is your plotting/writing style alignment? #WeeknightWriters

Howdy! I'm Khealos, but also go by the pen name Sean Erik. I'm past plotting, but adding in some pantsing, but mostly editing/revising book 5, Break a Leg, right now!
