Hello there, it’s me again, your local (to Earth) indie author. How’s your day going? Your week? I’m alright over here, although the migraine from work last night decided to try it’s way back into my head, even after the long awesome dream I had in my very rare 7 hours of sleep. I wrote down the last bit of it that I can remember, maybe I’ll drop it in a post soon.
Oh, here comes the puppy, whining to go out again. Just a second, void…
…Like I was saying…
What was I saying? That’s right, the dream. I usually don’t dream (I’m rarely in deep enough sleep for that) so it’s exciting when one breaks through, and I’m always interested in other people’s dreamscapes. Oh yeah, and the migraine; my sensitivity to the lights at work has progressed as the days have gone by. My poor eyes are tired from them searing into my retinas, and roasting my skin…
Alright, that’s enough rambling today. I’ve gotta get to making dinner anyway. Tell me something, do you remember your dreams often? Also, are you affected by bright lights like a fellow creature of the night?Thanks for reading my words to the void. Don’t forget to like, share, and find a lesson in all that you experience. May your days be gentle, sleep fulfilling and full of delectable dreams, and may your creative spirit bathe in Meraki’s inspirational waves,

A friend recommended his favorite story to listen to (he does audiobooks), so I've been reading it, and the story itself is interesting so far, but the writing is killing me. It's a serialized story on Webnovel where the author released about two chapters a day for four years, with the story having a big fanbase. Since then, the author has gone on to work on other things, but my gosh is it depressing to read. The story isn't bad, or the subject matter depressing, but I'm 49 chapters in and the writing is still so very amateurish. I can acknowledge that it's great to be able to write this continuous story, releasing so much on a daily basis, but there's ridiculously repetitious paragraphs, and there are crazy little things like introducing someone holding a "rapier sword." A rapier is a type of sword!
Anyway, the point is, I understand that we live in an on-demand world where everything has to be quick and punchy, and that's how people are able to write things like this and get away with it (not to mention the horrendous declining literacy rates...) but that doesn't mean I have to settle.
I'm sticking with my plan, plotting out the volumes for my continuation to Shadowed Memories. I may be weighing my options on putting out rough drafts of chapters out there, with plans to publish them on my Substack for paid subscribers on top of other behind-the-scenes content while I think about going back to Inkitt, but I don't plan on compromising my worlds.
I’ll try and use some of this anguish and disdain for more chapter plotting.
Don’t forget to breath, enjoy what you can, and bask Meraki’s cosmic waves of wonder and creativity,

I hope everyone is having a great Memorial Day weekend! I’m feeling extra exhausted today and wishing I could sleep for days without end, haha. On the plus side, one of my favorite bands, Dance Gavin Dance, released a new album! It’s their third Tree City Sessions release, a series of live studio albums where they revisit songs from their nearly two decades of making amazing music. I’ve been especially excited to hear their new singer’s take on some older songs (I love Andrew Wells and his work with Eidola). Well, I’m gonna do some story plotting before helping prepare dinner. We’re having Japanese-Style Chicken and Rice Curry today.
May your days be wonderful, your sleep fulfilling, and creative spirit nourished be by Meraki’s unending flames,

“This book is as handsome as the author!” 🥹🤣 It really makes me so happy to get pictures from people when my book arrives. Getting feedback as my readers dive into my stories is also one of the best feelings in the world! Thanks for picking it up, I hope you enjoy it! 😊

I find it so difficult to figure out what to say in these posts, which is why I’ve had inconsistency issues in the past. Yes, being exhausted and stressed with the everyday struggle of survival doesn’t help, but that’s not everything. One thing my head keeps going back to is a simple idea that should help with these posts: “Just put out there what you’d like to see from other writers.” I guess one of my problems is I don’t tend to find myself hunting for tidbits from my favorites, so it makes me feel like I lack a basic framework for what I should be doing with social media when it comes to my writing.
It’s alright, I’ll keep at it and get better.
I am going to shoot for one to two posts a week (I know, that’s nothing when it comes to the wild world of social media), whether I just drop a couple of sentences to show that I’m still within the confines of this dimension, or I dive into something longer, like character lore, how my book ideas spawned, my big series plans, or how Vampire Hunter D is one of my favorite characters in fiction. For now, my plan is also to not have much behind my Substack subscription paywall, as I’m working hard to plot out a whole series while also wondering if I need to find a part-time job to give my strapped finances some sort of breathing room.
All that said, I’ve had some coffee, I’ve got some music going (Yama’s Versus the Night album at the moment), I think it’s time to shoot this blog post out into the void hoping it reaches my dear readers (present and future), and work on plotting Chapter 4 of Shadowed Memories: Dark Shadow Volume 3. Maybe I’ll have to talk more about that in the next post…
May your days be wonderful, and creative spirit nourished by Meraki’s unending flames,

Since I'm diving back into Substack more seriously, and reintroducing myself to that space, I figured why not do the same across platforms. The name’s Evander Lee Fragoso, and I’m a writer. I’m currently working towards a series that continues my last book, which was an Urban Fantasy Psychological Thriller. I’ve written a few other stories that connect to it, including a sci-fi detective and a short story about a writer experiences horrors in a cabin in the woods. I’m a fan of horror movies, action-adventure RPGs, and anime, all of which have had an influence on my work. My favorite book series are Yashakiden: The Demon Princess, Vampire Hunter D (both written by Hideyuki Kikuchi), and The Dark Tower (Stephen King). I’m also an artist and created a few of my own book covers, and my favorite artist is the great Yoshitaka Amano.
If any of that resonates with you in the slightest bit, subscribe to my feed, let’s travel through the dark shadow shrouded world together. What have you got to lose?
