I wrote something six months ago, I wasn't really sure belonged here. As you may remember, I've been debating on whether I would keep this site up and running. I still haven't figured out the answer to that one. I've been feeling like it doesn't really belong in this world anymore, that this world has just changed too much. But then I realized that this site is me. So, then it would be me that doesn't really belong. I still want to believe that someone else will understand me. I think that is what inspired Interstate. I wanted to make a world that could still feel like home to everyone.
But the world is changing. The youth are deliberating over the present. The evil are deliberating over the future. I am stuck in the past, hoping for a very small piece of history to repeat itself so that I may catch a glimpse of it before I pass.
This is Aeckologie and I am Aecko. If you are new, welcome! If you've been here before, thank you! I hope you enjoy The One.

It is the anniversary of my website. Two years! Thank you to all my readers. I appreciate your kind words. As I alluded to before, Chapter Four, Part Two is here and is a episode about love. I had to wait until I could muster up similar love feelings before the story would finally flow out of my brain. Luckily, piece-by-piece, I was able to write this love letter. I hope you enjoy. I hope you will come back again and see how this thing ends. I've got it all worked out. I simply must breathe it out. Love you much!

As I near the end of a work, naturally I begin to ponder over what is next. I came into a thought recently that has gotten me excited for my next story despite the fact I still must complete the one I am knee-deep into at the moment. It is a lighter story of love and it has themes reminiscent of the one I am trying to convey in Chapter 4 (Part Two). I don't like repetition in my work. Thus I am trying to ensure that I keep these two stories separate in events while keeping the message universal.
After part two, I predict about 3 chapters left of Interstate. I know how I want to end it. I just don't know all the details that must be included and how I want to say it. Typically that is what holds me back from writing...among other faults..I know!
I hope you've enjoyed Four, when I am done with Part Two you will see it is my mixed media chapter. It has a mix of styles and is intended to be lighter before we dive full throttle into the darker elements. The way it was intended to be told.
I've decided I am going to include Part Two so I am working on it and I am thinking about Chapter Five. No ETA as of yet. I want Interstate done before the end of year. That's the best I can give you, but if you know me, you know, that I may not always be on time, but you never leave my mind, so eventually I am gonna come through. Thank you as always for the support!
'Til next time...

Chapter 4 (Part One) is done and will be uploaded shortly. Part Two was something I thought of adding recently. I have half of it written, I just wasn't sure I was going to actually keep it and how much I wanted to include. So, I will give you an update on this in a couple weeks. I hope you enjoy C4. I will be making some small edits throughout the week because I typed this fast. Thank you to all who return to my site hoping to get the next part.
See you next time!
08/18/2020
Just a quick update, Chapter 4 is almost done...thanks for being so patient. My goal is the week of the first.

Can I be honest?
I am discouraged. I feel as though I don't know what I should be doing. I love writing, but I take these incredibly long gaps in my bursts to mean that perhaps I am on the wrong path. I have so many ideas, but I can't seem to get them to come down. I have Chapter 4 outlined and many parts of it written but when I even attempt to continue a portion of a scene I just want to crawl into bed, watch Golden Girls reruns and eat.
This time of year I struggle with my creativity. Does anyone else just feel...exhausted? I hate making promises I can't keep and this site is like a constant reminder of my failure. I don't know how many more times I can say I am sorry. I don't even know when it will be finished. If I can get one day where it all comes together, the thing will be done. I am just tired. I put a lot of pressure on myself. This has been my side project. This has been my escape. I love this story but I don't trust this is my path...or at the very least, that this path will lead me to my true path.
I wish I knew what I was supposed to be doing. Is it writing? Should I stick with my 8-5? Something else entirely? I feel like my soul is just too big for this body. I feel as though I am not meant for this world in its current arrangement. I miss the days of Socrates. I want to study and do research about the occult. I want to write. I don't want to worry about how to eat. Where to live. I want to benefit mankind, not just the few individuals I come into contact with on a daily basis.
I don't want to live in a world filled with so much greed. Why can't grocery stores and restaurants give leftover food to their local homeless shelter? Why are there laws against collecting rainwater? Why is it just as expensive to go solar than to pay an electric company? Where do millions of people's taxes go, if basics like water or trash isn't provided? Used to be, you could get channels 1 - 13. Why aren't ALL businesses required to keep at least 6 months of funds that cover all operating expenses and payroll so that in times of crisis people aren't laid off right away? Why are individuals the only ones accountable? We are expected, even scolded, if we don't have savings but business can get bailed out at the drop of a dime. Where is the money going?
I feel discouraged in this world. Everyone is corrupt. Where can you turn? There are evil ones. We know them. But where are the good ones? Who is fighting for us?
Can one be wealthy and not greedy or do they go hand-in-hand? It is why I feel discouraged. I don't think I can ever achieve the desired wealth I want because I draw too many lines in the sand. Things I won't do to make a buck.
I didn't write this site to be famous. I've never advertised it. I don't know how you all found me to be honest. I wrote this to make someone's day. To tell stories. To speak about things for anyone out there who feels like me. I wish I could read about topics I am interested in. I think we all have that desire.
I am doing the best I can. I hope you all are taking care of yourselves. I can't wait to share more with you all soon!
06/04/20
Well, it looks like 2020 is really showing up and showing out!
I hope all of you are doing well, staying healthy, giving love and feeling blessed. I wanted to give a quick update. I am still working on Chapter Four of my short story, Interstate. I predict in a few weeks I can have it wrapped up and submitted here. I swear this year is flying by and I am losing track of every bit of it. As always, I apologize for the delays, I didn't realize it has been since February. Thank you, tremendously, for sharing my website with your family and friends. I thank each and every one of you who come back looking for more. I am hoping work will slow down now so I can devote more time to this site. I love you all and I can't wait to bring Interstate to a close that is worthy of your attention. I've enjoyed writing it so far and I am proud of it, which reminds me that I am on the right track.
See you soon and stay safe!

Good morning readers! What a crazy adventure we find ourselves in these days, huh? Keep your vibrations up. Stay healthy. Stay positive. Despite the manifestations of man, the universe has such an exquisite way of keeping us in balance. So, if you are going through it right now, keep on keeping on. Eventually, you shall rise yet again.
I've been trying to make sense of my own personal chaos and have not focused on writing, but I've placed myself back into the Interstate-state of mind. I will try to get that out soon. I've been having some crazy ideas about what I want to give back to this world. Some old ideas are getting reworked. But I am really just enjoying this ride right now. I am more in my neptunian, dream-like state write now. So, as soon as I get some concretes, right here is where I will be. But I am back on Chapter Four and trying to get that to come down from my head and into print. If you continue to check back on this little site, I appreciate you. If you are new, I appreciate you. If you don't know I exist, I appreciate you.
Until next time, friends...

Thank you to all my readers who have hung in there with me. I appreciate your views and your comments. I will be posting Chapter Three of my short story, Interstate. You can find that under the Anthologie tab. If you enjoy my site, please continue to share it with your friends. Thank you for your support and I will be back sometime in March with more updates!

I am so close! But I don't think I will be publishing Chapter Three of Interstate today. This is the first time I haven't made my goal. With my current schedule, I knew it was too lofty a dream. Realistically, I needed another week. I am currently on the last scene of the chapter, so I just need to finish that, polish it up and put it out. Hang in there with me. I know its been quite awhile already. I will be back on V-day (February 14th) with it ready to go bright and early. Thank you for your patience.

Hello readers. A few days ago, I celebrated the one year anniversary of Aeckologie. Although I am extremely proud of the work I was able to publish here, I feel that there is still more work to be done. I have some new ideas and some new goals I've set for myself this year--one being more consistency. This year is shaping up to be a busy one already, but I want to dedicate and devote more energy to Aeckologie.
I know some of you have been patiently waiting for Chapter Three to Interstate. After the longest dry spell of what feels like my life, I am happy to report that it is almost done. So those still interested, please mark your mental calendars for February 7th. That is when I will be back with that update. I appreciate all of you who traverse my site more than once. It means everything. Even if it is only just one of you out there, I will be back to give you a little more. See you soon!

Happiest of Thanksgivings to all of you within eyeshot of this post. I am looking out my window and I see SNOW!!! I believe this is the first time I've seen snow where I lived during this time of year. So, there is magic in the air. May your soul find its home and your bellies and hearts be full today. So much love!!

Morning Dear Readers,
I have some sad news to report. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, I will be taking a brief hiatus. My plan is to continue to write and to finish Interstate during my downtime but I will not be posting any updates until after the start of the year. Many apologies. I know some of you were looking forward to reading Chapter Three. Looking back, I didn't even realize it has been since September since I last posted an update. But I need some time off. My creative juices aren't flowing like they once were. I can't find my words. I am tired. I am stressed. I need a break. I hope this holiday season treats you wonderfully and I hope to be back with at least Chapter Three for you in the coming weeks. Thank you for your patience and understanding and as always, much love to you all.
11/15/2019
I just wanted to check in. I've started writing so hopefully in a couple weeks I will have Chapter Three up. I appreciate your kind words, from those of you who have reached out. I also, sincerely appreciate you coming back to my site, liking my stories, sharing them with your loved ones. This means everything to me. Thank you for the love and support. I've been needing it. Much love and many blessings to you if you are reading this and as always, I will see you soon!
10/22/2019
I am stuck!
There is one detail of Chapter Three that I am failing to see and I simply cannot go on without it. I've gone for multiple drives, taken baths; I've tried all my usual tricks to get me to work this chapter out and it isn't coming along. I've been quite busy with work. I've been quite busy with home. But usually, if I can outline the chapter in my head, I can write it over a week's time regardless of how busy I am. So...its taking longer than expected. I will try to have it up in 2-3 weeks. My usual apologies and such and such. I love that people visit this site each day/week/month to view my stories. It is what keeps me going. I love this story too! I have my ending. I have what needs to be said and when. I have lots of pieces I simply just lack the details. It is important to stay consistent. It's important to me to tell a good story, so again, I apologize for the delay, but I promise I am still working diligently on it.
Until next time...
09/13/2019
I made my deadline! I am so pleased. Lol. I am back with Chapter Two of my short story, Interstate. You can find that under the Anthologie tab. I want to take this time to thank those for reading and visiting regularly. I really appreciate if you've shared my site with your friends, family or on your media platforms. It really means a lot to me. Please continue to share, if you like what I do here. I appreciate all of my readers and I thank you for hanging in there with me.
Be back soon!
09/04/2019
I swear, sometimes it feels like it has only been a couple weeks since I last updated. Well I just wanted to let you all know, I am about halfway through writing chapter two for Interstate. Most likely, it will be up next week. I just wanted to give you an update. I am having a lot of fun writing this story but it is quite different. There are a lot of moving parts so I am doing my best to tell a good story. Thanks for your patience, as always and I will see you soon!
08/08/2019
I'm back!
If you come back to this site waiting for an update, this message is for you. I am back with a new prompt and the first chapter to a new story entitled, Interstate. I hope you enjoy it. I will try my damndest to ensure it doesn't take too long for me to return with the next part. Much love to all those reading this. Check out the prompts and anthologie tabs to read the latest. Can't wait to see you again soon.
07/15/2019
Hello all,
I just wanted to check in. I've been playing around with a new idea for a short story. I am working on the details and trying to figure out how to tell it. I hope to be back soon with the first chapter. Keep your eyes out for that. I hope this week treats you all wonderfully. See you soon!
06/26/2019
I'm back with a couple new goodies. First, I'll be adding the final two chapters of my short story Cirque, as well as a new poem. Be sure to check out chapters seven and eight and my poem Again under the Anthologie tab.
Lastly, I also have a new writing prompt that will be added to the prompts page. Just a quick note about this particular prompt, it contains spoilers to my short story, Cirque. So please be sure to read that last, if you don't want to know how it all ends.
Thank you to all of the readers for all of the love and support. I hope you enjoy the updates and I can't wait to share more with you all real soon!
06/22/2019
Phew!! I am so happy to announce that I'll be back Wednesday, June 26th for all new updates, including the conclusion to my short story Cirque. I hope to see you all back next week and I really hope you've enjoyed Campbell's journey so far...Thank you all for your patience. See you soon!
06/10/2019
I really hate not sticking to my word. But I've been going through quite a lot and I need a bit more time to get out what I've promised. I've been juggling a lot of plates lately-- some I've taken on and some that were handed to me--and I've always been the kind of girl to juggle quite a lot to begin with. Since this is my pet project, naturally, this is the plate I drop. I don't believe I have very many readers, but even disappointing one is enough for me to feel guilt. I hope to be back soon with more additions.

If you are reading this, welcome back to my site! I am here adding Chapter Six of my short story Cirque found here under the Anthologie tab. I am diligently working on the last chapter in that series as well as a few other goodies but I probably won't be posting them on this site until the last week of May/first day of June.
Writing has always been a sixth or seventh addition to my plate, in that it usually never gets consumed. I'm trying to be better. I set some writing goals for myself that I really want to accomplish before May is concluded. So, I am attempting to spend the next two weeks finishing up those things, hopefully, I can get them done and posted here as soon as possible.
Much love and light to those reading my words and I'll see you real soon.
05/08/2019
I'm back today, as promised, Chapter Five of my short story, Cirque, is now available. You can find it here on the Anthologie tab. I will also be making some minor edits as well.
Please note that I did change the name of the Aeckologie tab to Anthologie so as not to confuse that page with the home page in search browsers.
Have a wonderful experience here and I'll be back as soon as I can for more updates.
05/06/2019
Good morning! If you check this site regularly waiting for updates to the stories I am telling at the moment, I just want to express my appreciation and apologize, as usual, for the delay.
I hope this week treats you wonderfully and I will see you soon.
04/19/2019
Happy Friday!! Man, its been a busy week, but I wanted to get this site updated today instead of waiting until next week when I had a bit more time.
So as you may know, I've been writing my short story, Cirque. I've had this idea since 2011, which is crazy. I remember the day the thought came to me. It was a skeleton then. I didn't have any idea how I was going to tell this story, I just knew how I wanted the characters to be. It feels good to see it starting to take shape. It has been a long time.
I was quite blocked on Chapter Three, that has been the delay really, but I after I was able to get it...decent enough... then I got flowing. I have two chapters to add today. My prediction is that it will be wrapped up in about seven chapters. I am aiming for seven, however, if my OCD wins, it will be eight but I am shooting for seven.
To sum up, I am adding Chapters Three and Four of my short story entitled, Cirque. I am making a few edits to the first two chapters while I am here and adding in what I intend for the extended title. You can find all those changes under the Aeckologie tab.
Lastly, I am adding in a writing prompt for the 11th. You can find that under the Prompts tab.
I hope you are enjoying my site and have a beautiful weekend. See you next time!
04/03/2019
If you are reading this, I just want to let you know I appreciate your visit. And now to the business at hand, there is a new prompt to peruse under the Prompts tab.
Until next time!
03/25/2019
I'm back! I apologize for the hiatus, things have been crazy around these parts. But I was able to finish Chapter Two of my short story, Cirque. Please check that out under the Aeckologie tab.
See you soon!
03/01/2019
Welcome! This site has been updated with a new poem, Rise, found under the Aeckologie tab. Next, a new writing prompt has been added for your reading pleasure. You can find that in prompts.
I look forward to seeing you again soon!
02/15/2019
Welcome back! The site has been updated with a new 'What's New' tab. All additions will be added here along with the date it was added.
Next, I've started a new short story called Cirque. Since I am still writing it, I will be adding new portions as it becomes available. You can find the chapter one under the Aeckologie tab.
I've also added two new prompts. Feel free to check those out under the Prompts page.
As always, I appreciate your visit and I hope you enjoy your time here.
