Welcome to Amanda's Room!
February 21, 2009 -
OK, so it's been awhile since I've updated... a long
while. Sorry about that. For those of you who weren't able to figure it out,
Dreamfall is on hold until I figure out what to do with it, since I wrote myself
into a lovely little corner while I was working on it. As for the rest of the
site, I've got a big revamp planned. New graphics, new layout, etc. I may even route
my Wordpress blog through here. I'm still alive and kicking,
doing lots of different things, playing video games, writing and rocking out as
always. I've got a Facebook page now, and of course you can still find me over
at the Dead Robots' Society forums. That's all for now, but more will be on the
way soon. Until then: sit tight and rock on!
While you're waiting, here's some proof that I really
am alive. w00t for widgets.
Previous update (July 17th)
Wonders never cease! No, your eyes don't deceive
you. Episode 5 of Dreamfall
is live, only three days after I posted the last one! =D Consider it a special
treat to make up for the terrible delay with the last episode. Anyway, I hope
everyone enjoys reading this episode as much as I enjoyed writing it. For some
reason, this episode was really ready to be written. It came to me easily,
easier than any of the episodes before it, and I thoroughly loved every second I
spent working on it. Hopefully the next episode will be the same. I'm going to
start working on it today, and hopefully it'll be posted by this time next week,
two weeks from now at the latest. (Fingers crossed!)
Are you ready? Get
to it, then!
Previous update (July 14th)
For those of you who don't already know, I've
switched Dreamfall from a weekly onto a bi-weekly schedule, giving me a little
more time to write and edit these chapters, which turned out to be a bit more
complicated than I'd originally thought. (It's sort of like producing a
3,000-4,000 word short story every week. Kind of a tall order for a
perfectionist such as myself.) However, that doesn't mean that I'm still not
late with this week's installment! :( I'm very sorry for the delay, everyone.
Unfortunately this is what happens when I get excited and start trying to tackle
more projects than I can handle. Eventually I'm going to get the hang of this,
though, and Dreamfall will start coming out more regularly.
But enough of my complaining! Let's get on with
the story, shall we? Please enjoy Episode 4.
:)
Previous update (June 18th)
At long last, I return! Sorry about the long
wait, folks. Unfortunately a lot of different things got in my way and as such Episode
3 is extremely late. But now it's finally finished and ready for you to
read. Well, what are you waiting for? Get to it! =)
Previous update (May 23rd)
A day late but not a dollar short, I am happy to
present you all with Episode Two of Dreamfall! (Holy crap. I actually did
something I said I'd do. SHOCKING.) Sorry it took me a little longer than
planned to post it. I had to go through several drafts to get this episode where
I wanted it, and stayed up quite late in the process, but I'm glad I did. Yet
more proof that first drafts are allowed to suck, and that second (and third)
drafts are very, very good things. Happily I'll have plenty of time to recharge
my creative batteries since I'll be going camping tomorrow and will have lots of
time to rest whenever I feel like it. :) Yes, if anybody needs me, I'll be up in
the Smoky Mountains wrestling bears for the next two and a half days. In the
meantime, please enjoy Episode Two!
Previous update (May 14th):
I promised you guys something interesting and
writing-related, and after much procrastination it has finally arrived. For
better or worse, I present to you Dreamfall, a weekly episodic story set
in a dark, futuristic, alternate world. This series was inspired in part by the
Dead Robots' Society, my favorite podcast by writers for writers. This is my
very first attempt at serialized fiction, and as such all feedback is welcome.
(I need to know if this really sucks, after all. *grin*) You can reach me on
Skype, (amandacales) via e-mail, (amanda @ amandacales dot com -- creative, I
know) by commenting on my Dead Robots profile, stopping by the Dead Robots
forums, or even by adding me on MSN messenger, (amanda_cales@hotmail.com) though
I'll warn you I'm not around much.
So now that you know how to get a hold of me, I present to
you Episode One of Dreamfall without
further ado. Look for episode two to be released this time next week, and as
always, please enjoy.
♥,
