"No shit it's stupid. But have you looked in the damn mirror today? " James' tone lacked the amusement or desperate attempt to mimic it. Enfield would oboonly get pure anger and venom today. James winced as the metal chassis surrounding him groaned in a symphony of pained protests, echoing...

Everyone has their own way to prepare for NaNoWriMo. You could not prepare at all and fly by the seat of your pants. (This is why the term is Pantser) You could plan everything out. (Planner) Or you can have a vague idea and go where the wind takes you (Plantser) Something that I have found...

Amka muttered an offended oath. She grabbed Sedna by the arm and stalked back toward the rest of the tribe. The tribe rushed to meet the two women, a wall of ice jutting from the ground just in time to cause a problem for the Angelois. Alone, a single Aquarian would have been dead. But with the...

James flipped off the com, focused soley on the Arbiter's frequency. "I need you to keep him completely distracted and trust me. I know you don't know me and have no reason to, but what I'm about to do is... probably the stupidest thing I've ever done in my life. Just hold him. Let go if you...

Note pad is not a very conducive tool for writing imo. Take a look at https://novlr.org I believe they offer a free trial still. And with a month and a half to prepare, we can help you get an idea going and some world building done!

In the last few days there has been a lot of discussion in a group participation in National Novel Writing Month. NaNoWriMo is a yearly event occurring in November, designed to challenge writers to settle down and write that book. It gives a deadline to work against, people in your area to...

The Genion crouched, ready to rejoin the fray, frozen by Enfield's tone. James gripped the controls, fear swelling like a rising tide, pounding at him in tumultuous waves, threatening to drag him under and drown him. That was not a tone of voice he had ever heard before. He had faced that cold...

He had to be dreaming. This could not possibly be real. Jake's mind clawed to grab on to something solid, SOMETHING to ground himself; to stop the cold sweat that prickled at his back, the bitter taste in the back of his throat, the feeling of his legs turning to jelly... But there was nothing...

James did not even have time to swear by the time the Genion faced the Geminia. The alarms blared just in time to let him brace for the impact. The knee struck the D-Fault barrier, followed closely by the deadly punch. The blow sent the smaller mech to the ground with the force. Yeah. Sure...

The light slowly faded, leaving the annoying green-purple after image burned in his vision where the Excellence had stood. Fitting, the last thing seared in his mind to be the image of his little angel aglow with pure white light. His attention turned to the trembling voice of Black Charisma. Oh...

Waiting was the worst part. The Chaos Caper ran an affectionate finger under the DAMON's chin, as if petting a favored dog or cat. The Damon did not react of course, being a mindless beast controlled with the 'hat', but Minerva did not really care. Cuddles was her puppet and no one else's. She...

"Like you care." James' voice mingled with the static, cold and distorted. He remained emotionally distant, not responding to the baiting. This tactic would not work well, he could already see that with Enfield's response. He knew, the jig was up before the Geminia bounded away, back into the...

"Great job kiddo. I knew you could do it." James smiled at Sofie. He drew in a breath to comfort her, taking a life was never easy on good souls after all, but his attention was pulled elsewhere. He frowned, kicking off from the earth, the Genion defying the pull of the planet below as the...

The Genion slowed as the power plant went up like a fireworks factory that had a lit cigarette but flicked through the window. Fear welled in his chest, amplified by the deafening cacophany and the all too fresh memories of fanged horrors in never ending waves mowing. But he could not stop. He...

"I wasn't joking." He responded in a dry tone. He growled under his breath as the Geminia mocked a salute, then launched itself backwards at an incredible speed. He stared at it mouth agape for a moment. He had to be seeing things! That purple bastard was huge yet it moved like a goddamned...

The dead laid in a row, covered by cloths and tarps that could be spared. Six total, gone in the blink of an eye. Aaron worked with a group of the younger technicians, sorting through the parts and supplies within the shop. His face hadn't regained color after finding poor Garret. Jake pat his...

"Fer fecks sake lad! Are ya gunna help me er nat?!" Aaron rolled his eyes behind the old man's back and tossed aside another chunk of scrap from the colony. "Fer fecks sake yer self ya daft coot," he had a terrible habit of picking up and mimicking the languages of people he spent too long...

"Do you think you got him?" Merida swallowed, shifting her attention around to the various systems and monitors that needed her attention. James' reply came back light hearted. "Nope. You know the rules. No body, no death." He turned his head to grin back at her. She scoffed and kicked him...

James' glare shifted to the Arbiter's mech, baleful and just shy of hostile. He was no fool though. He would not look this gift horse in the mouth or squander the appearance of this new threat. It was a threat to Enfield as well, and a well timed distraction. He took advantage of this momentary...

James gritted his teeth, voice growing more heated with each sentence. "Instead of explaining it, you give crytpic bullshit, though you know full well I would probably side with you. Instead of letting Selene have a target on her back, you tell me it's not her fault. Not that she didn't know...
