Is it seriously October already? I swear, I must be getting older, because time did not always pass this quickly. First and foremost, let’s get this out of the way. I did about as well as I did in August… Ok, maybe a little worse. I got roughly 5,000 words this month, which is betterContinue reading “Another month has passed me by”

Just call me the hare…
I love dad jokes. Can you call the title of this blog post a dad joke? Maybe. Let’s move on. Why should you call me the hare? Let’s take a moment and think back to the classic fable of The Tortoise and the Hare. The hare started off strong, got cocky, and ended up slackingContinue reading “Just call me the hare…”
Slow and steady… (Aug. 2021)
We’re back with another monthly update post! Thankfully, this one is a bit more positive than the last one. Let’s get into it. So the big news is obviously that I’m actively writing again.

I can explain… (Jul. 2021)
Well… This is embarrassing. It’s been just over four months since my last blog post. I’ve been half-dreading writing this update and I’ve been putting it off for quite some time. But, here I am anyway with a little bit of accountability. As I’m sure you can tell from the early tone of this post,Continue reading “I can explain… (Jul. 2021)”

I also don’t have amazing news on book 2 progress either, unfortunately… BAD NEWS So I started the first draft of book 2 in mid to late January. I got about three chapters in pretty quick and then stalled just a bit.Continue reading “I was a bit busier than expected…”
2021 Is Here!
Greetings from the other side of the hellscape we call 2020! Although to be fair, this year hasn’t shown it will be any better so far. But let’s fix that, shall we? I ended up skipping a monthly update in December. I honestly didn’t have much of an update anyway as far as new newsContinue reading “2021 Is Here!”
Calling All Beta Readers! (Outlines and Expectations)
Alright ladies and gentlemen! This is it! It’s time for the massive post I’ve been promising for months that details (what I hope to be) my very successful beta reading process. The reason I’m providing this detailed and relatively formal setup is because: 1) I want this to be as smooth as possible for myContinue reading “Calling All Beta Readers!

Surprise! As a celebration for finishing draft 2 and beginning the beta reading process, I’ve decided to post the prologue here for everyone!

In it, we are introduced to the novel’s antagonist, Forbrath, and hisContinue reading “Soulformer: The Serpent Isles – Prologue”
October 2020 Update
Well then. My little video experiment was a massive success! (For those wondering what I’m talking about, take a look at my September 2020 Update post here where I came up with the idea and my first VLOG post here where it started.) I finished the first draft of Soulformer way back at the beginningContinue reading “October 2020 Update”
The Final Weekly VLOG
Here we are! This is the final weekly VLOG for my goal in last month’s update. I think this has been an amazing experiment that was way more productive than I first anticipated. It has overall been a great boost to my writing process and I’ve been very happy with the results. Stay tuned forContinue reading “The Final Weekly VLOG”
