It’s modern fantasy. Think Dresden Files, but a bit grittier and more grounded.

I’ll give it a try. I find that most urban fantasy crosses into really cheesy territory.
So far I only know of three authors who do a good job of putting high fantasy elements in the modern world and making it sound true to life.
What im trying to do is write good action adventure series where the protagonist happens to be a magic user. We’ll see how it goes.

5/3/26 STAGE 1 LOOP 2 3 minutes

  • I didn’t notice much on Saturday, but it was pretty chaotic. I took the kid to do some fun stuff so it was a good day, but still I didn’t have time to get anything done around the house.
    This morning though, I did take a few minutes to get a persistent rats nest of clutter by my bed taken care of so there is improvement.

  • I noticed something odd. For a long time I had been running subs to get control over my financial situation.
    After I quit running them, I started seeing results. I had gained a lot of control over them and things were looking a lot better. I was getting there bit by bit.

  • About a month ago that situation changed. My father passed away. That was devastating, but he had enough just in his bank account to pay off all of my non real estate debts.
    For years I had been hoping for some big stroke of luck to get me out of financial trouble, and running subs thinking they would help manifest that.
    I gave up on it, decided that help wasn’t coming and I would do it myself. I improved my habits and started getting there, and only then, painful as it is, that huge stroke came.
    We are now in a MUCH better position going forward.

5/5/26. STAGE 1 CYCLE 1 LOOP 3 5 minutes

  • I haven’t noticed too much the last few days, but I’ve been working sixty to eighty hours a week.
    I’m a machine with that, but it’s been six months or so and I’m actually noticing that I’m tired.
    I arranged with the boss to actually get two days off this week. I think my results will show more once I actually get some rest.

  • I’ve been too busy to notice much of a difference, but I did arrange to actually have two days off this weekend.
    We’ll
    See what a little rest does for me.

  • I went in and got a memorial tattoo for my father before work today. That’s about all of the exciting stuff in my life right now.
