Oh you RPGs

This has probably been one of the most productive weeks I've had in a long time. My goal is to post the next chapter of Call My Name tomorrow and possibly the next chapter of The Dragon's Jewel. I've also got another one shot for Train Wreck, but that may have to wait until my next update.

I think I'm going to have to change the status of New Kingdoms. No matter what I do, I can't seem to get enough written for the story to make me happy. My thought right now is to leave the snippets up on FanFiction as drabbles right now and then change its status when I overcome this blockage. I think the problem is that I have too many stories on my plate right now to be able to focus on such a large undertaking. But fear not. I still have a ton of notes to help me pick this back up when I get some more ideas out of my head.

I've been spending my time playing the new Castlevania game and Persona 4. I'm not sure what prompted me to pick up the latter, but I've been unable to stop writing stories for it. I know...you're shocked. I'm refraining from posting anything though until I get more stuff written. The idea right now is a series of one shots based on each of the social links. I have The Fool done, part of Fortune and The Emperor, and I'm ready to dive into The Magician next. We'll see what happens with that one. You know, this is why I don't get into RPGs. Too much character investment and too many story ideas. I need to FOCUS!!!

For the FictionPress crowd, I've finished the edit of Sarat and have been working on typing the second draft. The next chapter of Spitfire is almost done as well, although I'm not sure when I'll post it. As I said, there are a ton of stories on my plate right now. We'll see what happens.

Unrelated note: I can't decide who I want to win the World Series. Its 2-2 in the bottom of the 4th of Game 1 right now. I really need to make a decision. Football and hockey take my attention, but none of my teams are playing right now. So I have to focus on baseball. Gah! Too many decisions!!

What the heck is in Iowa?

New update today! I just posted chapters/stories for The Dragon's Jewel and A Beautiful Train Wreck. The next chapter for Call My Name is done. A few edits and some polish and I should be ready to go next week.

I've been taking a break from survival horror and started playing Persona 4 a few weeks ago. I admit I'm addicted to it. There's something about the story and the characters that just draws you in. I'd compare it to Deadly Premonition in this sense. Even after only a few hours, you become so invested in what is going on that you feel like you're a part of the story. Its fascinating. Its also nice to get a little cultural lesson thrown in to the game. My only problem is that I'll likely get an idea for a story or one shot series now. Yeah...like I don't have enough on my plate.

In other news, I finally got the chance to go and visit my sister in Iowa last weekend. Most people think of corn and farming and nothing when they think of Iowa. People, there is so much more to the state. I fell in love with Des Moines just as quickly as I fell in love with Australia. I've spent the past few days looking at jobs out there so I can live in the city. Its so young and clean and hip out there. Wish me luck, guys!

And will someone tell the creators/publishers of Splatterhouse to stop pushing the release day back? I'm supposed to be enjoying the game right now and Thanksgiving is too far away.
