Fakeminsk TG Fiction: Constant in All Other Things

Writing Update: 02/06/23

Howdy all, hope this update finds you all well.  Weather is beautiful where I am, and what a difference it makes.  

Going forward, I'm going to endeavour to give regular updates on how the writing is progressing--still keeping the ...

On "On Writing," pt 1

One of the things that led me back to writing, recently, was a patron's suggestion to read Stephen King's BIlly Summer - a fantastic novel of redemption and on the power of the writer's craft.  Following that, I started listening to King's "O...

So What Happened?

So--that's done, then.  I've refunded as far back as Patreon will allow me - a surprisingly slow and painful task; I guess the service doesn't like people doing that.

So, what happened?

When I stepped away from the computer, stuck...

An Explanation

Hello.

Well, it's been awhile - much longer than expected, to be honest, and I apologize for that.  Now, before trying to justify anything, I want to also sincerely apologize for the continued charges.  I thought I'd suspended all ...

Patronage in the background

Part of the Story: BackgHello!  I just wanted to follow up on the message I sent earliabout inserting patrons a scertain level into the fiction.   AN exaAn example of what I mean might be soemsomething like this, from the current ch...

Weekly Update: On Dates and Dialogue

Hello, all, I hope this update finds you healthy and well as we approach the end of the month.

The end of the chapter continues to run away from me - in that, as I work through the remaining scenes, they've grown in length a little beyond wh...

Of Inspiration and Cars

Hello!

An update was long overdue - apologies.  So, writing of Constant continues, though at a much slower pace than I'd like.  Real life stubbornly refuses to step aside and give me absolute freedom (probably a good thing, as I'd ...

Sneak Peak: Chapter 5, part 2

Hello!

It's been awhile, and an update is certainly overdue.  Progress continues, in fits and starts - every time I get back into a comfortable writing rhythm, something seems to conspire to knock me out of it.  Nevertheless, I con...

Update and progress

Hello all!  It's been a while, so I thought a progress update might be a good idea.  It's been slow going; before Easter I'd managed to work my way into a really good routine, a solid 30min to an hour of writing every day, generally afte...

Holidays and Delays

Hello, Patrons!

Apologies for the delayed update: I've been on a short holiday, catching up with family I hadn't really seen in two years. 

This proved wonderful, stressful and exhausting in equal measures.  I'd thought there...

A little disappointment, a little progress

Hello everyone - another update on Constant in All Other Things.  I can't deny a little disappointment at how chapter 5 seems to have been received: only a few comments, and far fewer views (as far as I can track - Big Closet tracks hit data,...

Constant 2 - Chapter 5 (draft)

Hello Patrons!  After a few delays, Chapter 5 is nearly ready to post.  I'm going to let it sit for 24 hours before giving it another pass, then post it to the usual sites,  Here's a sneak preview.  Enjoy, and feedback always w...

6000 words

It's been a pretty good week for writing, I think, though I admit 2000 words isn't exactly a blistering pace.  I've decided (I think) to split chapter 5 into two parts - the way its structured lends itself pretty well to that.  Which mea...

Chapter 5: 4000 words and counting

So, the word count for Chapter 5 continues to trundle along, and reached 4k today.  I abandoned by original plan to revise chapter 4 - it was at risk of becoming way too long - but what I wrote was salvagable as a starting for chapter 5. &nbs...

Starting Chapter 5

So, I thought I was making some good progress into Chapter 5 of Constant in All Other Things, but soon realised that I'd posted chapter 4 a little too quickly.  The structure I have in mind for the fifth chapter (in a sort of interview / flas...

First Post

This is all very new; welcome to the page!  Having never done anything like this before, I've doubtlessly messed it up.  Nevertheless, here it is: the Patreon page for supporting the writing of Constant in All Other Things and (possibly)...
