《Dungeon Instinct》Life, Dungeons, and Stories...
Advertisement
So yeah... Sorry about not posting much lately, but "LIFE" got in the way and i figured that any spare time i had would be better spent writing whatever i could than making a post about why i haven't been writing...
I know, bad AaronDragon... But hey, i'm here now and that's what counts right?
anyway anyone who's followed me and my stories for any significant amount of time will know that i have this sort of... Well... Let's call it an "Attention Problem". Basically i'll start a new story and then just sort of move on after the first few chapters...
I'm going to start making a serious effort to stop doing that now. I figure it's not far to you (the readers), the story, or myself. So instead of doing all this story mapping and outlining only to stop working on it on the second chapter and going on to start something new where i just repeat that process i'm going to cut that loop off right here and now.
I'm saying it here and now, from now into the foreseeable future (at the very least the rest of 2017) i'm going to stick to only 3 stories. i've started them, commited to writing them, and now i just need to be a good little author and finish the damn job by writing them out until they end.
Honestly, i'm a bit annoyed with myself so i know that all of you must be annoyed as hell with me...
So here's what's getting worked on and around when i think i'm going to be working on it:
Dungeon Instinct: Fall 2017 (May move forward or back depending on when i can find the week it'll take to reread and edit out the first volume...)
The Shadow Dungeon: Currently, but subject to random breaks (I plan to work on this off and on along side the other two projects.)

Night Saga: Spring and summer, i'm hopping i can eke out at least half the first book in that time. maybe even finish the entire full book out entirely...
So that's that. i've already started to train myself into focusing solely on these stories and just ignoring all the other wonderful and tempting ideas that pop into my head. I'm also going to try and put out a chapter every two weeks at the very least, but i cant make any serious promises about that because as this last month has shown me sometimes life steps in and just utterly wrecks any plans or schedule you may have... Plus i'm trying to get back to releasing longer chapters so it takes more time to write them out...
...
Yep... so that's basically it... Just wanted to let you guys know what's up, and give you some reassurance that now you can commit to a story without worrying about when i'll lose interest in it and stop writing it.
...Oh and if you're reading this on RRL then i'd like to say that this post will be removed as soon as i begin working on D.I. again. oh and please answer the poll...

Retribution Engine
I've been made aware that the discord link in my post-chapter plug is dead. Use this one until I fix it. Discord "The War of Fog is over. Every major city is under occupation. Now we prepare to take back our home." - Unknown Soldier The world's great heroes have slaughtered one another for the ideals of their countries, but the world keeps moving. The industrious nation of Ikesia lays still smoldering from the nigh-apocalyptic War of Fog, yet it stubbornly forges onward, shielded from further invasion by the impenetrable Blackwall. Its leader - the Sage of Fog - has disappeared, yet his influence is still felt everywhere, his plans and contingencies still in motion - even the Blackwall is said to be his last, desperate creation. New heroes have begun rising from the war of fog, and there is more need for them than ever. A towering foreigner has emerged from the desolate Exclusion Zone. She strides into the war-torn country without the intent to pick sides, but is soon forced to do so when the machinations of malevolent others collide with her own ego.

Cybernetic Dragon
Idea Seven, or Inter Dimensional Explorer Automaton Unit-7, has had a bit of an accident. Hijacking the egg of a dragon rather than its intended target of a bird egg, it isn't fully in control of its host brain. Rather the two, dragon and cybernetic AI interface, must work together to survive in a hostile world of magic, dungeons, beasts and adventurers. The AI must deal with being a machine from a world of science trying to carry out its mission of exploration, while the dragon, Rex, must deal with being a cyborg living with symbiotic nanotech that sets him apart from other dragons. What adventures await them? Author Note: I tagged this story GameLit because it contains concepts like levels, classes, and dungeon/beast cores. But, it isn't tagged LitRPG because no one has status screens, other than occasionally Idea Seven who likes to organize data into blue boxes. It isn't a natural function of the world to display level ups or skill ups with an announcer voice. I mention this to set expectations, because otherwise I feel like LitRPG fans might be disappointed by my lack of LitRPG elements while others might be turned off thinking I have a lot of LitRPG elements. I think that if you approach the story with an open mind you will appreciate the gradual way in which the main character learns and expands his understanding of how the world works, but the game mechanics aren't meant to take center stage to the actual story.
