As I've said many times before, I do enjoy writing. Its actually rather relaxing for me, finally putting down the stories that bash on the inside of my head and demand attention. I have one alpha reader who got a chance to read several story starts that have forced their way out of my head and onto a computer screen. Now, for the most part these aren't stories for SoL, they will have limited or even no sex scenes.
But I do try to write for here. I'm trying to find time and energy to work more on Teach Me To Fight so that I can add at least 10 more chapters and move the story forward a bit. I know that people want that.
I also am very aware that people want to know what happened to the characters in the CAP-based series. I do have a few ideas, but they just haven't coalesced to the point that I am sure of where I can take the tale. They are not ripe for the plucking. I'm more likely to finish the two stories that are in work and then jumping back to Ishtar for a series of stories about life in the colony. I have had that as a firm idea for a long time. I even have another young adult pickup story, but as usual the idea comes with a few twists, but I want to write a few different tales first. Otherwise people might try to compare it with CAP-based or Family Letters as elements of that idea were used in both of those tales. (Yes, I do reuse ideas when it fits.)
I do encourage lovers of my stories to visit Royal Road to see the one story that has been receiving the lion's share of my writing time. The postings there include all of the first book in this saga and the first 13 chapters of the second book as of today. Its an adventure tale of a man placed in a new world and trying to survive and thrive. Yes, its a storyline that I seem to use often, but for some reason that idea sings to me.
And for those who are willing to go a step further I do have a Patreon. It currently receives regular updates that keep it a few chapters ahead of Royal Road, but also has been seeing chapters of a space opera/coming of age tale that I consider one of my better recent works. More stories will likely start appearing there if I continue to write at my current pace. We'll see.
