Sorry to everyone who has been looking for updates throughout July. I had some time management trouble and I did a lot of traveling, and now I'm missing the last rewritten chapter of Nightmare's Calling. Once I find it, I'll be able to post the complete rewrite of the story.
Some other sad news: I've decided to stop working on RoNK. I can't keep up with the story and I'm not entirely happy with the way I've written it so far. I'll keep my notes around in case I find the time and energy to continue with it, but don't look for anything new to be posted regarding that story.
But hey! I'm going to be a published author!
I submitted an article about female character design in horror games from a female gamer perspective. The committee loved it enough to ask if I would present my findings at their Game Design Conference in November. The paper portion of it will also be published, so I can finally add that to my resume. Hopefully this will also be a chance for me to schmooze with some gaming bigwigs. Getting your name out there is important if you want to work in the industry, and if I can prove that I know what I'm talking about, I might have an in with game companies for testing, writing, editing, and/or design.
I'll be focusing all of my attention on this presentation, so I won't be able to update any stories until after the conference. I'll be back as soon as it's done though. Wish me luck!!
