Good progress yesterday. I'm contemplative this morning. One thing I struggle with as a writer is comparing my production to others. Not just writers but people doing it full time and are considered prolific in their own production. Just random thoughts #writingcommunity #LitRPG

Today's update is a bit light. Things started out well enough, but eventually I got tired. Working all these extra hours is catching up with me. Regardless, things are still moving forward. I don't have a deadline beyond this year. More later. #WritingCommunity #LitRPG

Back to work today. I might be back to only working five days this week. We'll see. I did get some words in yesterday which was nice. I feel like I've been in the 30k range forever. Regardless, TANK is still moving forward. More writing later. #WritingCommunity #LitRPG

Well I worked all weekend again. Monday is my weekend now. That said I did manage a few words. I'd like to get some more down today, but Rocky is making his presence known. #WritingCommunity #LitRPG

Happy Friday! Mined some words yesterday and the cold hasn't let up. So I have a lot more work at my day job. Living on Hoth seems to be the new normal. 🤷‍♂️ #WritingCommunity #LitRPG

Thursday Update! Hey, we're making it two in a row! Some words were written and I tied a chapter I had written in advance into things. I'm still working a lot but there has been progress. #WritingCommunity #LitRPG

Neeeeew Update! See I have been writing! I told you so. The evidence is right there. Look at it! Numbers that represent words! It's beautiful. It's 0 degrees fahrenheit right now and I'm sitting in the Jeep waiting to go into work. More later. #writingcommunity #LitRPG

I swear I wrote yesterday! I ended up running late this morning, so I didn't have time for the usual update stuff. We're still battling the elements out here which I'm sure will affect my day at work today. #WritingCommunity #LitRPG

Non-Update Well, I worked all weekend, including yesterday which saw me clearing snow for eight hours. While I listened to a lot of audiobook(s), it really didn't leave me in a great place for writing. The upside is with all the snow I have some time. #writingcommunity #LitRPG

Alright, I made it a point to get an update out today. I mined some more words for the big board and finished the chapter I was working on. I'm still logging a lot of hours at my day job, but hopefully I can get back into a regular rhythm. More later. #WritingCommunity #LitRPG

As I suspected, I didn't have much time to write yesterday. I got a little done but not enough for a big board update. Better luck later. #WritingCommunity #LitRPG

Updates have been spotty. I put in 18 hours of overtime over the weekend. That ate up a lot of my time. Tonight is J's birthday, so I expect words to be hard to come by. Other than that, it's business as usual. #WritingCommunity #LitRPG

Progress was light yesterday as a couple work things have changed in the short term. I'll be working some overtime which cuts into writing time. Still progress is progress. More later. #WritingCommunity #LitRPG

Update! It wasn't the most productive day but it was a lot closer to normal than the rest of the week. I'm in a spot between scenes so there's a little bit of a slog writing-wise otherwise things are going well. Off to fight the snow now. #WritingCommunity #LitRPG

No Update Today I got a few words in yesterday but for the most part I was fighting off migraine party two. It didn't set in until my last hour of work so it could have been worse. Hopefully back to it today. #WritingCommunity #LitRPG

Big Board Update Not a whole lot to tell. I was laid up with a migraine yesterday, but there were words over the weekend. I really need to get my board hung again. I think I'm going to use command strips instead on screws this time. Back to work. 🤷‍♂️ #WritingCommunity #LitRPG

No real update today. Today is still technically my weekend and I've been a bit lazy playing card games and watching football. Since Andy and I tried Riftbound, I'm watching Arcane for the first time. Maybe I'll get a few words in later. #WritingCommunity #LitRPG

Yesterday was a bit of a light day writing-wise. I was busy at work and ended up watching football until I passed out. Back at it later. #WritingCommunity #LitRPG

"Two Utah, get me two!" That's two updates in a row. 😂 Willow and I are back to it. Yesterday saw some new words and we're trying to build some good writing habits. More later. #WritingCommunity #LitRPG

The big board still needs hung, but here we are with an update. TANK isn't in a bad place to start the year. I'm still not putting a deadline on it other than 2026. Willow has also made an appearance to do some product placement. It's a bit early for her. #WritingCommunity #LitRPG

No big board update today. I'm back to work and vacation is over. While I've done a little writing while I was off, I'm ready to get back into a regular rhythm. Other than that, it's back to business. #writingcommunity #LitRPG

I know I've been off the grid a bit lately. My hope is to get back on track by next week. I have been getting a little writing done, but between moving and vacation, things have been up in the air.

A day early but it's here! The Final Stream Week of '25 and starting off '26 strong! Very Special Warhammer build stream on Tuesday, building Magnus the Red, a beast of a model and man that I've been excited to work on forever, hope you can tune in and hang out!

Internet is up and running at the new place. I may even get back to writing before the end of the year.

Progress was good over the weekend despite largely talking yesterday off. It's moving week and Christmas so I expect that words will come at a premium. Still I'm happy with where things stand. I've crossed some names off the TANK kill list. More later. #writingcommunity #LitRPG

Happy Friday everyone. Ended up with a bit of momentum yesterday and got down a good number of words despite my work Christmas party. If I could always get words the way TANK has been giving them, I'd put out many more books. 😂 I'll enjoy the progress. #WritingCommunity #LitRPG

I remembered the picture today. We're closing in on the holidays and progress is good. Right now, I'm just trying to carry this momentum into 2026. Back to it later. #writingcommunity #LitRPG

Good day writing yesterday, but it was about time I forgot to take a picture of my big board. The progress was pretty standard stuff. Back to it later. #Writingcommunity #LitRPG

Back to work today. I got some good words in yesterday, but most of what I did was housework and finishing my rewatch of Stranger Things. I even began season 5 finally. Overall I've been really happy with the series. Anyway, more writing later. #WritingCommunity #LitRPG

It was a bit of an up and down weekend progresswise. For the most part I put up good numbers, but I had to go back last night and fix something in an earlier chapter to make it work with where I'm taking things. #WritingCommunity #LitRPG

What $12 got me at Ollie's

Friday Update TANK has officially reached the minimum length of a McBride's book. I'm excited to get this one out next year. Working in a fresh universe has been invigorating. More writing later. #WritingCommunity #LitRPG

Free Nerdy Smut if that's your jam!

Thursday Update Stole a great idea for TANK promotion yesterday and it's popping off. I spent way too much time with that. 🤣 Words were written as well. I just have a lot of corpses to work into the story now. #WritingCommunity #LitRPG

☠️Anyone want to die in my next book?☠️ Drop your name/player handle here!

Wednesday Update For many we are halfway through the week, but I'm only on day 2. That means I'm still ramping up the grind for the week. Willow and I mined some more words yesterday. I'm enjoying this one so far even if I'm just getting into it. #writingcommunity #LitRPG

Tuesday Update Back to work today. Yesterday had more words for me. I gotta say this one is going quick. I'm just getting to where I'm going here, but already I'm closing on 20k. That said there's a long way to go. More later. #writingcommunity #LitRPG

Continuing our march to 2026, progress has been solid. TANK is well on its way. Today is a good day to let the cat out of the bag. We're moving at the end of the month. I won't be going far, just a few blocks away. So I'll be busy. More later. #WritingCommunity #LitRPG

Check out my Pinned for more!

Welp, I forgot to take a picture of the big board today, but the words were mined all the same. Things are moving right along and hopefully the momentum continues into the weekend. #WritingCommunity #LitRPG

Any day that I sell a book is a good day.

All things considered, yesterday was a productive one. This month looks to be busier than if like, but that's nothing new. For once I have no set deadlines, and I'm going to just enjoy that peace. #WritingCommunity #LitRPG

Yesterday was pretty ordinary. I got some words mined and did a bit of promotion on MMM 8. Tonight is set to be busy with some real world obligations, so we'll see how it goes. Back at it later. #WritingCommunity #LitRPG

🌮Out Now🌮 Mcbride's Magical Munchies: Episode 8 mybook.to/MagicalMunch...

MMM 8 is out! Link is in my pinned 😁 As far as updates go, that was about it. I got a few new words down, but most of my attention was on getting MMM 8 across the finish line. Hopefully, I can start ramping up my writing. #WritingCommunity #LitRPG

🌮Out Now🌮 Mcbride's Magical Munchies: Episode 8 mybook.to/MagicalMunch...

I slacked off a bit over the weekend. Saturday I had work and we went to a hockey game. Yesterday, I spent a lot of time playing Hearthstone with my buddy Derek. I did finish strong though with some words and completing edits. MMM 8 just needs submitted now #WritingCommunity #LitRPG

Black Friday Update Hopefully, everyone has a good Thanksgiving. I know I are too much. (Mainly carbs and dessert) Anyway, MMM 8 got TWO chapters edited and TANK got a nice stack of words. I was kinda surprised at the progress. #writingcommunity #LitRPG
