The Old Ways, Chapter Five

This entry is part 1 of 6 in the series The Old Ways

And here, we have ourselves at Chapter Five -- the last written chapter. There is about half of Chapter Six written, and then no more of The Old Ways, at least so far. Will there be more? I guess that depends on what people think. Let me know what you think of this particular chapter,… Continue reading The Old Ways, Chapter Five

The Old Ways, Chapter Four

This entry is part 2 of 6 in the series The Old Ways

And so we hit Chapter Four of The Old Ways. It seems to be gathering some fans, which is nice. Among those fans is my father, who's also a big fan of Theftworld. I think some depth comes into play in this one. For the record, as of yesterday we'd broken 200,000 words on this… Continue reading The Old Ways, Chapter Four

This entry is part 5 of 6 in the series The Old Ways

I'm a little curious to see if some of the concerns are addressed with Chapter Two, or if this is, in the end, more of the same.

The Old Ways, Chapter One

This entry is part 6 of 6 in the series The Old Ways

I don't know whether or not this will become a regular updated serial like "Interviewing Leather" or Theftworld or not. Once upon a time I'd thought to make a novel of this, but I'm not sure today whether I will or not. It's a very different kind of work for me, really. I guess it… Continue reading The Old Ways, Chapter One
