Michael Valdez's latest update for Blurred Weaponry (Saints of the Void, Book 1)

Sep 12, 2015

Hiya, folks! I decided to go ahead and upload Chapter 6 of Atypical to Inkshares. That's the last chapter in the Part 1 section, and features the calm after the bullet storm. The reason I wanted to add this was twofold. 

One: I like this chapter - it's calm and personal in a way that not much else was as the story was starting off, and it's where my writing started to feel so much more... me, for lack of a better word. It was here that I grew more confident in being able to do things that have made this book far more alive than it was in my ultra-dirty first draft.

The second reason: holy cow my first YouTube video is taking forever. It's a "glossary" narration, one of many I want to do as part of spreading information about my universe as widely and personally as possible. I underestimated how long the art was going to take while working a "normal" 45-50 hour-a-week job. Once the video is done, I'll have processes in place to make things faster and continue releasing glossaries and narrated excerpts in the hopes it'll get some more attention.

Also, I changed the page number on Inkshares from 450 to 550 because I forgot to add in the "Northwater" novella that I'm throwing in as a freebie. What happens in that novella is really fun and just as anime as anything in Atypical, and the consequences are critical to Book 2.

If you read any of the chapters, please let me know what you think. If you feel like I'm working on something cool, share it via Twitter and / or Facebook. 

Thanks and peace out!
