Hi all,

Quick update this week.

On Sunday, we'll be having the third draft chapter of the next Richard Struggle book.

Next week, I plan to work on the first draft part of the next chapter of Project D.

That is all,

Hi there,

When you joined the Patreon campaign, you probably noticed that my tag line is 'Creating Fantasy Worlds to Lose Yourself In.'

The reason it isn't something like, 'Writing Awesome Fantasy Novels' is because one of my ambitions is to be able to add more visual elements into my story-...

Hi all,

Not much to talk about this week.

In short, we're having the next draft chapter of the next Richard Struggle novella, which will be released on Sunday, probably around the normal time.

And next week, I'm currently also planning to continue work on Richard Struggle.

See yo...

Weekly Update — 31

Hi all,

This week is going to be a little bit different, but not much.

Firstly, in the last week, I've added an additional 2.5k words to the next chapter of project D. That will be available to everyone via discord from tomorrow evening (Saturday, 14th July), so that I can get feedback and c...

Hi all,

Sunday: This week we'll be having the second draft part of the next Project D chapter! Can't 100% promise that this will be the final chapter part, but I'm more leaning towards 'yes, it will be,' at the moment, than 'no it won't'....

Richard Struggle — Book Two Chapter One

So, as I spoke about on Friday, we're going to plug the story gaps between when Richard arrives in Creakylid and when he arrives at Ophelia Island.

This will be book two. Ophelia island will probably end up being book four or five.

Chapter title: Arrival

Length: 4,400 (with space budge...

Weekly Update from Dublin Airport

I’m just grabbing food before my flight. Apologies for the low quality, noise and portrait view. I’m sure I’ll get better at these spur of the moment videos with practice.

Hi all,

This week I've been working on a Richard Struggle chapter (although not quite in the way you might be expecting.) No publishing this Sunday, but you can expect quite a few things to come out in the following weeks.

Twitch: On Thursday, I and a few of the team working on the audio pro...

Weekly Update — 28

This Sunday we are having a Part Chapter Update for the next Chapter of Project D — along with fully publishing what we have already (This update and the last two updates will be separate chapters).

Chapter 16 of Project D's audio version will also be published on Sunday.

I'm planning to w...

Weekly Update — 27

Hello everyone,

This week there may or may not be a chapter part release on Sunday for project D. I'm working through a specific plot line that's giving me some problems, and I'm not sure if I'll have cracked it for the usual release time. If there isn't a release on Sunday, then it will most like...

Sunday release: Part 2 of chapter 44 of Project D!

Also, work has resumed on the audio projects, so we can expect more audio chapter releases coming soon.

Finally, an email is going out to the Gray Mailing List on Sunday, mostly catching everyone up on all the releases we've had since the la...

Hi all,

This Sunday, we're going to have part 1 of the new Project D chapter (Like last time, I'm just going to release what I have each week until we have the full chapter).

It will be available to everyone, including non-patrons, through the discord server.

Hi all,

No video this week — just a quick update.

Firstly, the first draft chapter of the new project is going to be released on Sunday.

Secondly, next week I will be starting work on the next chapter of project D. Giving myself two weeks for that, but as we all know, it ultimately d...

Project F — Chapter One Outline

Experiments!

This video is really rough. There are some pretty bad audio affects, I messed up the volume at the beginning, I was planning to do some animation, but they turned out to be much too much work, so next time I'll use live screen recording in it's place — and, yeah. It's far from ...

It's Friday!

This week I've been experimenting with my editing process.

If you've been following my updates (and are a rare patron or higher), you've likely spotted three smaller updates this week where I'd normally have none. I put these updates up on richardstruggle.com alongside a quickly...

Draft Updates — 1

After taking feedback, I’ve decided not to include edits to drafts as part of the Sunday release pool of options in future. I will instead, for now, release them throughout the week as I write them. I will also include “patch notes” so people can more easily find any changes I’ve made.

Weekly Update — Week 21

Yes, I know, it could be 22, but I figure that since holidays are a thing it's best not to include them. That, and I remember working through Christmas for you guys, so yeah — I get a vacation :P

But that doesn't mean nothing happened during Easter. For example, I'm curren...

Weekly Update — Week 20

Not much change since last week. All systems are nominal. See you all on Sunday, April 1st (No joke, again) for the new chapter!

Again, it's unlikely I'll have any big updates during Easter break. Most likely we'll see each other again the week after, hopefully refreshed, revitalised, and ready to...

A draft of Part 2 of the next chapter of Project D will be released on Sunday on discord.

Chapter 15 of the audio version of Project D will be published on Sunday on LeadVonE.com as well as on itunes.

Weekly Update — Week 18

This week we're getting a part chapter from Project D. This latest chapter neatly divides up into three parts, so rather than hold onto it for another week, you're getting the first part on Sunday.

It won't be published through the usual channels, just on discord.

In other news, project D's ...

I have it!

Finally, I have all the pieces I need to write the next chapter of project D the way it should be written. Said pieces all fell into place yesterday morning and I've been outlining madly since then (my third outline for this chapter). I'm not promising that it'll be re...

Hi everyone!

Another quick update this time.

Firstly, I've been working on the next chapter of Project D. That won't be out this week, but it will probably be the next piece of written work you see from me.

This week, the patrons and other non patron fans who are working on Project D's...
