It’s a scary mother fucker sometimes — doubt is. (just like the plant from today’s photo prompt and used as our featured image). It has little teeth that grab hold and worry it’s way into the recesses of our mind causing undo anxiety and pain and a billion other things. That was AJ last night.…

We’ve been posting for two months straight! That’s a nice start to keep up appearances. It’s not a chore when I know what I’m going to be writing. Or rather how I get the topic. Right now you are getting a lot of editing an my comments. Next month you might get something else. AJ…

My long time readers will know what I mean when I say I see patterns. (And just to reiterate this is a magical ability and thus fictional — as I am the figment of AJ’s imagination given voice through words on the screen.) But I kinda want to explain what that means. I struggle everyday…
-
I a bit annoyed at my creator atm. She’s drawing instead of writing. I mean really come on woman I’m the world here, not that dump pencil and iPad! While I can insist that AJ write me, she’s really doing the drawing because of me. For lots of reasons of which one is she wants…
-
We have one day left to write in The Call of the Dragon. And by day I mean there are two days of timeline stuff we are writing. This go around AJ is doing things a bit differently in order to keep the timeline straight. So we don’t miss days or such. AJ has used…
-
So me and Alex won’t be fighting much it seems. In the rewrite of what was the Last Phoenix and is now called the Call of the Dragon (cause AJ wants to actually use that title for a later book — it makes more sense really). Anyway, we are rewriting because the book was romance…

Sorry. AJ had to get something off her chest. It’s been one of those mornings, pre 6am and getting chewed out by a customer for poorly chosen words. It’s like come on AJ you are a writer, you should know better than to say the same thing back to the person requesting help. *le sigh*…

Seems The Daily Spur really wants to talk about food. Today is all about feast. While we can also do different kinds of feasts. Though it calls out to food to me. Alex is sending some very different vibes right now lol. But I don’t really have much to say about it. I’m sorry. AJ’s…

AJ is out of town. So my streak doesn’t slip AJ is preposting today, tomorrow, and Sunday. Not that she doesn’t already do that on the weekends. But today is special. And we got to use yesterday’s word to pull in Fandango’s word challenge so that’s always fun. There will be writing of that I…
-
Today’s word is heavy. And all AJ can hear is Michael J Fox saying “Heavy.” in Back to the Future back in the 60s and Doc Brown goes on about gravity and all that being heavier in the future. It’s such a silly moment. But it stuck with AJ through the years. Today’s been a…

If you’ve been following me (or read my stories) you know that in almost every version of myself I am a foodie. Things like Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches are not a thing I’ll eat. Except maybe when I’m that homeless kid or when Alex decides its his turn to cook. I already hear him…
-
One of my favorite things to do is to feed my friends and family. I learned from a three star Michelin chef who owns his own restaurant in New York City. Marco features in many of my stories and is often one of my fathers in nearly ever other AU AJ has ever written. He…
-
Today’s word is not very fun at all. I have nothing to write on that. Today AJ has off. Friday they are taking a trip up North for a kid thing. So it’s three days of working. I don’t really have much today. We got through a scene we didn’t think we’d keep but we…
-
If ya’ll get tired of me talking about the changes in the book, let me know. AJ’s not sure what we should write, but this keeps you informed. I get to spew my feelings about the changes, and you get to see some behind the scene footage of changes as they happen. I think the…
-
It looks like the story from here on out has some pretty drastic changes. I hope you have no real attachment to the old story. I’m sure AJ can still use some of the story scenes remaining, but the story of Alex and me has changed drastically. I don’t want to spoil things. But this…

Growing up I only knew one married couple — the Vegas. Dorian’s parents were the only people I knew who were married. Which is uncommon in the Venatori. At least as what a human considers marriage, the proposal, the engagement, the wedding, the honeymoon, and then so-called bliss and then end in divorce or death.…
-
So over the course of my evolution AJ’s had to create a drug in my world that would get a supernatural high. As most supernaturals have higher metabolic rates and thus most drugs don’t work. We’ve talked about nepenthe before. And today we aren’t really talking about it. AJ’s at a point in my story…
-
So as we pass through this editing you are getting my views on the revision AJ is making. It’s a bridge or an arc, (or is it arch?) to what is going on in the story. We don’t know when we’ll be done. Aiming for end of Feb to finish the revision. And then work…
-
Today AJ wrote almost 2.5K words — a product of hard work but mostly me actually telling AJ what’s going on. It’s kind of weird going back this far in the story. While it’s the same story it’s not the same. Things have changed, the way AJ’s telling it has changed. And when we go…
-
Satisfaction So yeah. Today’s word brings forth a song. I don’t have this problem. AJ’s working on editing my Therapy session in The Call of the Dragon. I don’t think it’s going anywhere close to what it was in the original. AJ read it and decided that it didn’t fit what happened. So all new…
-
I don’t suppose I have much left that’s locked in the cellar of AJ’s mind. Though I do surprise us both sometimes. The reason for the big rewrite of The Call of the Dragon comes because the front of the book was romance heavy and the bottom of the book was plot heavy, so AJ’s…
