Thanks to everyone I see on my feed. The quality memes, gamecube nostalgia, magic the gathering goofiness, and the lovely fellow writers all make scrolling through my bluesky feed a lovely experience that brings me a little joy in a rather cold and dim world. #bluesky

Cheap. Expensive. Middle of the Road. All ends up the same at the end of the day, the only difference is the reason I drank it and how it felt going down.

Writing is like filling a bucket of water. Some times it can feel like one drop at a time. Other times it feels like emptying a water fall into a tiny bucket.

Sorry for the lack of posting here I got incredibly sick, like so sick I couldn't get to my PC and listen to the audiobook and review it. Sorry for the delay. I'm starting to feel fractionally better as of today, so I'll start work on the audiobook soon.

Chikao J @chikaoj.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

The next Audiobook is almost ready! Traveller's Choice to is just being reviewed then it'll appear on audible! Hopefully only 2-3 more weeks.

I'm doing the math on my current writing rate, there is hope that my next book will be 100% written by the end of May! Woo

I want to try out Pokemon Z-A, but the nearly 60$ price tag plus $30 DLC makes me want to wait, but I feel like Pokemon games so rarely go on sale or drop in price.

Any day with progress towards finishing this book and this series, is a day that makes me happy ^^ Although the Audiobook for Traveller's Choice (book 2) is currently being delayed (by about a month) due to some unfortunate events.

Chikao J @chikaoj.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

I've laid all the frame work for the final battle, know how I want it to go down, and I've mentally sketched out the Epilogue. Now I just need to get there. :D

Just realized I wrote a chapter numbered 68, then moved onto the next chapter and numbered it 68 as well, hmm guess there is just an extra secret chapter there. :D nah just kidding I fixed it.

I'm happy to report that I'm back to normal after my concussion. I've just written a banger chapter complete with a Fullmetal Alchemist reference and several goofy jokes. I'm back on top! :D

Chikao J @chikaoj.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

Bonked the back of my head pretty hard last night and lightly bit my tongue. Sad to report I'm taking the day off from writing, as my brain seems to be, at least temporarily, scrambled.

Chikao J @chikaoj.bsky.social · 27/10/2025

It's been one year since I released my book Self-Necromancy on Kindle and in Paperback. Thank you so much to everyone who gave it a chance, regardless of if it was a full read through, or you just read the first page. It means the world to me that you checked it out. #IndieAuthor #Litrpg #Gamelit

Sometimes I struggle with being authentic on these platforms. Like finding the balance between being my typical introverted self while also promoting my books/my livelihood out to a bunch of strangers on the internet. #Author #SelfPromo #LitRPG #IndieAuthor

Leftover pizza for breakfast, half a chapter written already, and a very clean house. Not a bad start to the day. Now if only it could be like 20 degrees cooler and raining, it would be perfect.

Chikao J @chikaoj.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

I try to keep my chapters around 1,000 words and with a nice consistent flow, while remembering my ABC's (Always Be Cliffing) but sometimes (like today) I look up from a fight scene and find that I've suddenly written 3,000 words.

Chikao J @chikaoj.bsky.social · 10/07/2025

I just got to chat with @jjthornbooks.bsky.social we've got an interview coming out here in the future! First time my voice has ever been recorded, so there is now definitive proof that I'm a real person and not a cryptid or figment of your imagination. #booksky
