Hola, I'm L.A. I'm a Latino writer still discovering my passion for writing! I created Frontier-0, Santa Fae, Heirs of Dim Mak, and I’m looking to expand my work in prose with novels!
I don't know if anyone is still reading this, but if you are, thank you. I am heartened to see that my stories here, unfinished as they are, still get some views, and while I have prioritized my personal life more and more, they are not forgotten. In fact, I think I'll finally be able to finish one of them. SANTA FAE.
I had originally wanted to make it a 5-parter short novel (About 25 chapters), but feared I'd have to stretch it closer to 30. Now that I have finally regained enough life and mental health to write again, I think it'll be a bit of a mix, and end simply with a longer Part 5, containing six chapters to finish this "Book 1", of which I have already written three of those in the last month or so. So expect me to just post them all once they're done.
I write as I can on my day off or when I have a chance at work, but it's mostly about finding the time and energy, and I swear, until recently, I simply didn't have the drive anymore. I think now that it is evolving, and what my writing will become, I'm still figuring out...But I promised, to myself and anyone still reading, that I would at least finish my two stories here. And at least now one of them will be, and very soon. So if you read any of it, despite all this time, gracias.
I wanted to give a small sign of life and wish you all a happy lunar new year! 🧧 It’s the year of the Horse 🐎 , and originally I
wanted to commission an artwork of Calamity carrying a horse with her buff arms, but couldn’t afford it. I did find this awesome piece by an artist called SHEN_SHIPI (do follow them), so figured I’d use it as a placeholder cause it rocks 💪🏽
My Sifu taught me today that I was actually mistaken, and that my Chinese zodiac is the Dragon, not Snake, because I was born in January, so I'm feeling an inner shift lol. Also, fitting given how I've always loved them so much. 🐉
There’s been a lot of self-discovery and progress in my life, and while I’m still stumbling and struggling with a lot, I feel less alone than ever, and happy to be working and giving something to people. 💜
There’s been little time to write because of it, but I remain firm on wanting to finish my last two stories here—Santa Fae & Heirs Of Dim Mak. I don’t know how long it’ll take me, but I will see it through as work and life allow. I don’t think anyone is reading anymore anyway, but if even one person is, then truly gracias and thank you. 🙏
I finally finished the five chapters of Part 4 of Santa Fae. That means the novel (BOOK 1) is now officially 2/3 done and posted here! I intended it originally to be five parts, but might have to stretch to a sixth. Will now as I keep writing. ✍️
I will now focus more on Dim Mak and write the next 5 chapters of that story, which should be fun. Did have some last bit of artwork left for that arc specifically, so I hope you all enjoy it 💪🏽
Writing has been hard, with little time left with work, who I’ve poured my absolute everything into to keep working, and now with the stress of my country possibly going through some very dangerous political situation (see the news), but the stress helps write, ironically. So will use that while I can, and live as best I can. 💜
I know I’ve been quiet for a while, focusing on my job and life in general, which has been very healthy for me, and for that I’m grateful. But today I finished writing a chapter for Santa Fae, it’s the first I’ve been able to write in a long while, and it felt very good.
I’m going to pick up where I left off, and try to write 2 more chapters to finish Part Four of the story, and try to write the next arc of Dim Mak as well. I know it’s sporadic, but I’ll update as I can, and build my story however long it takes. Sincerely, thank you to anyone who still reads them, it means the world to me. 🙏 💜
Well I finished 2 more chapters (one is out now) for Heirs of Dim Mak, and scheduled the other along with the 5 pieces of artwork pieces as rewards for Inksgiving! 💪🏽
With that, the story is officially at 1/3 finished, at least as I envision it. It could be Book 1, like with Santa Fae, but time will tell. As for Santa Fae, gonna focus on finishing the next 3 chapters next, so that the story is at 2/3 done. 📖
That’s a good resting place, so I can recoup and plan what comes next, for when I have time from work again. But I am having fun writing again, so if anyone is reading, thank you so much 💜 🙏
Gracias de corazón 💜 to everyone who donated any ink for Iksgiving! I honestly didn’t expect any at all, so the fact that I reached my top goal means so so much to me, sincerely thank you! 🙏 😊 I will work on the next 3 chapters of Dim Mak and release the 5 rewards right after! I hope you all enjoy it! ^^
I think I’ll be participating in the #inksgiving2025 event this year ^^ Life has become my priority more, but I’m making an effort to finish a few more chapters of Heirs Of Dim Mak to post before or by the 14/15th if you want to send some ink my way 👍
I will post all my special artwork I have saved if those goals are reached, but regardless, just happy to have some motivation to write again, honestly 🙏 💜
I feel like I’m finally in a better place than I’ve been in years, both mentally & in my life, and I’m so so grateful for that 💜
Though I don’t have as much time to write anymore, with my focus being on work and my community, I still intend to finish my two stories as I can, and as of now, all I have of Santa Fae & Heirs of Dim Mak is out now.
I will hopefully have a few more chapters soon, and if anyone checks them out, truly, gracias so much 🙏
