Greetings Fellow Readers! Welcome to the first Wednesday Rant of 2014. I hope you are all enjoying the new year so far. There is stuff to talk about so let's get to it.
[About the Hiatus]
Okay. I mentioned that I was going to re-write my novel Dreamwalker Kumiko as part of my hiatus for the past two months. Everything was going well with the re-write until something happened along the way. Well I received an appointment with Mayfair Games, which was held today at New York Toy Fair. This resulted in shifting all my attention to my prototypes which I spent the past two months dealing with. So third drafting my novel went into the back burner and then this month happened to continue 'Arcana Magi Universe' Season 4. Thankfully, the sacrifice was not for nothing and while cannot get into details at this time, my attention is spreading out. Once I deal with 'Arcana Magi Pure vol.4', I will most likely go into hiatus again to deal with this. The door has been opened and I need to break through, now that I have a chance. I will NOTE that if and when I need to do so.
[Arcana Magi Universe]
Because of the change in events regarding my appointment with Mayfair Games, I would like to apologize for any poor quality in the writing of 'Arcana Magi Pure' so far. It was not intentions to put out a a bad product and I am doing my best under these conditions to at least make the storytelling accessible in contrast to the writing itself. I am also hoping despite there being 5 Chapters involved that I do not paint the story into a corner that could ruin the characters or plot. Chapter 3 is coming out this week as planned. I will do my best to put out a good chapter.
[Plans for 2014]
Well I had plans for 2014. For instance a new 'Beyond Logic' was planned. I was gonna see about doing audio stories on Youtube for my writings, as well as videos for 'Cyber Tactics' card game. But now they are going to be on a case by case basis as I deal with Mayfair Games these next couple of months. Once all the dust is settled, and I get a good look at my future, I'll post up the plans for my works. I would like to thank you all for your patience in this changing time period of my life. Hopefully, everything will turn out good and I can actually make without layers of stress piled on top.
So that is my current situation regarding. It is a new path I am facing and it is looking very exciting. Keep in touch and enjoy 'Arcana Magi Pure' this month on Fictionaut.

Wednesday Rants: November 27, 2013
Greetings Fellow Readers! Welcome to another round of random ranting. Did you all enjoyed 'Arcana Magi Memorial Vol.4'? The setup is complete and next will be an awesome adventure. Today though, I will be addressing upcoming plans so let us begin.
[December/January
I will be taking a 2 month winter break. I will be in total silence, which there are no Wednesday Rants, no new Fictionaut stories, nothing. I will be spending the next 2 months 3rd drafting this novel of mine that i want to put in a publishing houses' hands. Plus the holidays are here and I have a lot of priorities to focus on. So I will not be able to keep up with any online activities.]
[Arcana Magi Pure Vol.4
I will return in February and will definitely start it off February 7, 2014 Friday, with the first chapter. This will close out an abbreviated Season 4 for Arcana Magi Universe. I look forward to seeing you all then of course.]
[3rd draft Novel
Okay, so the title of this novel is Dreamwalker Kumiko. It is one my first early written novels going 13 years. It is a very big story, Urban Fantasy, and plenty of awesomeness. It is also my most difficult to write due to the ending. I am still finding that right one. Basically, this draft is going to be completely re-written to meet my current standards of writing. I also have lot of issues to address, like fridge logic, plot holes, and missed opportunities. I don't how much of this I will get in 2 months time because of Life, but I definitely need all the energy and concentration to do this. I really am looking foward to getting this published in-house and onto store shelves, and once that happens, I hope you will all get your copy and enjoy reading in bed at night.]
[Board Games
Everything is pacing along great on this front. Playtesting at IGDA Game Demo night net positive results and required minimal removal of game mechanics. I will be nitpicking during the next 2 months when I have time outside of Dreamwalker Kumiko, and hopefully I will get picked up by a game publisher. I do want to due another Prototype Presentation, but that will probably be after Arcana Magi Season 4 is finished, and if I did not get picked up by publisher then. But that is on tap for 2014.]
So those are my upcoming plans. I thank you all for wonderful 2013. I really appreciated your viewing all my works on Fictionaut, Youtube, and Kindle. I look forward to seeing you all again in 2014.
Have wonderful and safe happy holidays.
Until 2014...
See ya.

Wednesday Rants: November 13, 2012
Greetings Fellow Readers! Welcome back for another round of Wednesday ranting. Honestly, I really did not prepare a rant this week. So much has been going on around me since New York Comic-Con that I really don't have anything in mind to talk about.
Well, I guess I can talk about last night. Well I demonstrated my board game Artemis Neo: Battle of Kendel's Den. It is set after the events of 'Artemis Neo' that I released on Fictionaut and later on Kindle in 'Duality of Science'. It is straight up space combat, just eliminate the opponent's fleet first to win. Well the good news is that the game works, but with flaws. Mainly due to the die roll's probability. Artemis Neo did meet great praises. The people who played it had fun and offered their feedback and what they thought would make the game better. It was very eventful and I walked away from it surprised that the game turned out great.
So I spent most of today improving the game. I wouldn't say it's a overhaul, I only eliminated just one rule and adjusted the other. The rest are additions that expanded the game. Once I get a chance at playtesting it again next month, hopefully, I can then take it to the next level and seek a publisher.
Overall I am excited that I got this to work and people enjoyed. I am very happy that I got a good game made. The same can be said for Eivo, nothing in that game got eliminated and it was mostly adjusting and addition. So I pretty have 2 working board games that just need one more playthrough before taking out to the market submissions.
I hope you all are enjoying 'Arcana Magi Memorial Vol.4'. I feel I am getting the hang of writing 5 page chapters, but honestly I feel I could do more. Either way this week's chapter will be exciting, and then I'll be winding down in chapter 5. 'Arcana Magi Pure Vol. 4' will happen around January/February to round out 'Arcana Magi Season 4'.
I intend to take a total break in December so I can work on an novel of mine I had been working on since 2001. I really have put off third drafting this story, which really needs it, but it is a good thing because if I submitted as it is, I would not picked up. I've already outlined what need to be fixed, added, covered, and so on. So hopefully I'll have it ready sometime around next year and a Publishing house.
So this is what I have in mind for this week. I'll see you all on the 27th for another round of ranting. Have good night.
Until next time...
See ya.

Wednesday Rants: September 25, 2013
Greetings Fellow Readers! Welcome to another round of Wednesday Ranting and it's a beefy one this week. I got some 'Thoughts on Writing' this week and some official announcements. So let us begin.
[Thoughts on Writing: The Strength of a Writer]
What is the strength of a writer? I had thought about this rather quickly, and honestly, I do not know where I will be at in the future regarding this question. For now, though, these are my current answers to this question.
Confidence. When I write, I have to sound like what I say on paper is strong. That the point I am making or the situation the characters go through does not sound weak. What I convey is done with a smile that I know what I am talking about. That if any of you can feel that confidence in how I present my story, then my strength can be seen clearly. Not just in how writing looks but in my voice amongst the narrative. I have to be sure of myself when writing the things I write and not be too scared to express it. There are a lot of thins I have written between Fictionaut and Kindle that if I did not feel confident of what I want to get across, I could end up discrediting myself as a writer or lose my readers altogether.
Competence. I feel it is very important then when I introduce things in a story, I know what I am talking about. Research into things like motorcycle engines that I used in Artemis Neo, and kinetic and potential energy which I used in Arcana Magi, are really helpful in writing. I may not have a science major when talking about technology but a little research allows readers to know that I at least took the time to understand things. Yeah with Science Fiction and Fantasy I am given a leeway to bend the rules to make things look cool, like sound in space, but that is not a license to dismiss the logic of the world. Rulemaking is also important. To stay consistent as thoroughly as possible is very important. Breaking the rules of the world you wrote will make you look incompetent as storyteller.
Comprehension. Look, I admit that I am not A+ on my grammar, but the least I can do is make my writings comprehensible. The simplest of writing, the Basics as I see it, is "The cat ran home." Even if I wrote that in my story, it's comprehensible. Could it be better than that as a sentence? Yes, and it should be, but I should not try to be so flowery with my writings that it reaches the point of incomprehension. When people read my writing, they expect me, as an author to have modicum of intelligence. If writing a sentence like "The cat ran home" allows me to come off as being comprehensible to my readers at the expense of poetry, that sentence will trump poetry all the time. That does not mean I should always write like that, but i should allow my readers to at least keep up with what I saying in text and not lose them in the narrative.
Overall, writing is not easy. It is difficult and it is challenging. The rewards are very high when one thinks about that fact that they actually created something they call their own invention. But what happens afterwards is as good as anybody's guess. As long as my writing feels Confident, looks Competent, and is Comprehensible to read, I believe my works will look strong, and I can become a strong writer, like I should be.
[New York Comic Con 2013]
I will be wandering the halls of the Jacob Javits Center. I acquired a Pro Badge this year thanks to 'The Impossible Man on Kindle', so I will be attending for 4 days instead of 3. Feel free to say hi, I am not afraid to shake hands and take a picture. Unfotunately I could build on my novels release because I was too late to Book anything up with the Convention like Panels or Autograph sessions. But I am looking forward to being there once again.
[No Wednesday Rants in October]
Due to New York Comic Con there will be no Wednesday Rants throughout the month. Wednesday Rants will return in November.
[NEWS and NOTES]
Because October is an off month, the first Monday of October is on the 7th. That will be when 'NEWS and NOTES' will be posted and the Facebook Events schedule will be updated.
[The Impossible Man on Kindle Update]
I will be updating 'The Impossible Man on Kindle' to do some extensive cleanup. I apologize for any inconvenience in my writing. I will post up when the update is available so you all can update your copies.
Thank you all for listening to my rants this week. next month is indeed a big month and I look forward to seeing you all on October 7th with the 'NEWS and NOTES' October Edition.
Until Next Time...
See ya.
