I am Zak Ludick and this is my journal and documentation of my progress with goals on and off Steemit.

So If nobody knows what Steem Monsters is, check out @steemmonsters

And adding to that there is the following contest: [Steem Monsters Official 1500 SBD Writing Contest Announcement!](https://steemit.com/contest/@steemmonsters/steem-monsters-official-1500-sbd-writing-contest-announcement)

So I am writing for this contest... well my main drive was to write for Steem Monsters and just add depth to the story and so forth. I have been lumped together with some strangers who are all keen to get busy so I hope to make some new friends there as well.

I am writing for the Death/Black Splinter. Expect to see some stuff come up from there soon!

I am going to leave this list of items to work on here to remind myself:

+ [Steemcules the Strong - Diablo 2 Retro Gaming playthrough - **New Episode**](https://steemit.com/gaming/@zakludick/diablo-2-steemit-retro-gaming-project-steemcules-the-strong-act-2-episode-2-giant-bug)
+ [Raiders of the Middle Sea - Fantasy Fiction series (20 Parts so far)](https://steemit.com/writing/@zakludick/raiders-of-the-middle-sea-part-20-a-world-of-kedra-story)
+ A new, interactive fiction series where the audience can influence the creation and actions taken by a character within my universe - more details later!

Let's look at my account stats...
