Channillo!


I used to write on Channillo like, just about three years ago. Then I got overwhelmed by life, pain, and everything. So I dropped off the face of the writing world.

I've been having run on RoyalRoad, the people there are a good time, but I think it's time for me to take my show on the road. Ha. Pun. Ish.

Having an audience on there is cool, but oh boy, working for tips that don't materialize is kind of disheartening. Writing on a platform that guarantees that I get paid for views would be really really nice. Plus, as I recall, the community for it was really nice as well.

If I was still doing Fan Fiction (YES, I used to, oh my) then I'd be less sad about making $0, but this is all my personal work, my world building, my character creation, everything. Plus, I was a teenager back when I did that sort of writing. Maybe I'm being selfish, maybe the views and everything like that should be enough, but views and exposure don't help pay the bills, buy dinner, or entertain my kid so I can actually write. C'est la vie. Capitalism, what can ya do.

Wish me luck that they accept my application, and I can get back to it.

Whoops, another novel.


Somehow I found myself joining a novel writing contest on a site I JUST JOINED on Saturday (today is Monday, for reference) to see who could write the most popular story by the end of March.
I'm out of my mind.

This is actually an old story, that I never wrote anywhere, just hashed out with my husband, out loud. I'm adding a few things to it, since it was more a character profile, than a fleshed out story. Gloriously Damaged, is the name. It's about a regular girl, and an android girl who is going to be trying to kill her. It's a Magical Girls story, like Eternal Platinum, only with the point of view of one of the baddies as well.

I'll post a link to it when I get it posted, for anyone who accidentally comes across my blog. Hi. Whoever you are!
