The Long March

Hey folks, happy Saturday. Not sure why I chose this title, but it feels fitting. Sorry I missed the update last week, my work schedule has changed and been getting used to it. Anyway, onto the important stuff. Currently still working through my process to begin a more consistent writing and editing schedule to maximize the amount of content I create. The main goal in this is so that I will…

Preparing for the Storm

Hey guys, happy Saturday. So…this week has been rough. Family circumstances have not improved, and we are reaching a breaking point on several fronts. Sorry to sound dramatic, but it’s sadly the truth. What’s worse? I can’t do a single thing to help. No action on my end will change the directory of our circumstances. But that doesn’t mean I’m powerless. While I cannot help directly, I can…

Busy week

Hey guys, happy Saturday! Can’t believe the week is over already, it seemed to fly by. It was so fast, I honestly don’t have a lot to report. I’ve been plugging away at the Jezran update, but it’s been slower going than I anticipated. No idea why, but I think it’s my mind is muddled by things. While Easter was in fact a very great time of rest, I had to kind bounce back into things as soon as…

Easter Update

Hey folks, happy Saturday! Ah, Easter. One of the best times of the year. A time of hope, renewal and rebirth. Always interesting how things go around this time of year. I don’t think I can remember the last boring Easter I had. Something always arises that resets my perspective on things. This year, I think that would be great. Not to delve into family drama, but I have some loved ones that…

I forgot taxes!

You guys ever see that one commercial for Little Caesar’s? The one where the guy forgets taxes? …that’s me. Anyway, hi folks! Happy Tuesday. As the title suggests, I forgot about my taxes. Oh, taxes. Lovely things, aren’t they? Nope. Anyway, I was reminded of their inevitability, and I am now…in taxes. Once I’m done, I will keep at the Jezran update. After that, I’ll get the next character…

Next up on the agenda, the Jezran update! Hope to have that done in the next few days, so stay tuned! Anyhow, hope you all have a nice weekend!

Writing Itch

Hey folks, happy Saturday! Hope yall are doing well, I’m still currently getting those competition entries put together, but I think I’ll be done in the next couple days. So, while I don’t have anything exciting to share, I figured I’d briefly write about something else. Something about me and my approach to writing. I’m not sure if other writers experience this phenomenon, but whenever I try…

Change in Plans

Hey folks, happy Saturday! There have been some changes this week that are worth a share. First, I was recently sent a site by a close writing friend that had a handful of writing contests she thought I might be interested in. Two in particular stood out to me. First, the James Jones First Novel Fellowship, which, as the title might suggest, a competition for would be writing working on their…

Stressful week

Hey folks, happy Saturday. Sorry I don’t have a lot to share this week, been a bit rough with some family drama.   I’ve been trying to make the most of my time but it has not led to any serious progress. So, since life decided to dump all these lemons on those close to me, trying to make some lemonade.  Taking some time to get my thoughts in order, reorganize my writing area.   All the stuff…

Session 9 edit is over!

Hey folks, happy Saturday! Hard to believe I can finally report this. Been way too long since I managed to finish a Session edit. Personally, I do blame myself, both past and presently. Past, because I so clearly cut corners that I needed to fix come editing, and present, because it’s been so difficult reworking some scenes for me. Regardless, it’s done now. Next, I’m planning to get the Jezran…

Post Super Bowl update

Hey all, happy Tuesday. Sorry for the late update, this weekend was a lot busier than I originally planned, in part due to the fact I forgot it was the Super Bowl weekend and that I’d made plans with my family for that day. This normally wouldn’t be a problem, but I had already planned a meet up with friends at the time I usually write updates. So…yeah, this update just kinda slipped away…

Weekend update

Hey folks, happy Sunday! Sorry for the late update, I was under the weather yesterday and didn’t have time before work to complete it. That said, there isn’t much to share. Still working on Session 9. Hoping to make headway on some A Cry from Silence things at the same time, though I haven’t been successful in either the last few days. Anyhow, I am not discouraged. I hope to have more to share…

Belated update

Hey folks happy…Wednesday? Wow, this is later than I expected. Sorry about that folks! Been a weird couple of days and I was also waiting for some more information on publishing details after I finished my story for the NYCM short story contest! And now that I have it, let’s discuss! So, basically, I still have the rights to KY story, but they want a degree of exclusivity for a temporary…

Writing Competition

Hey folks, happy Monday! Sorry for the late post.  Last week was full of drama, but it also included an interesting opportunity. Since the drama isn’t mine, I won’t go into any details on my family’s current situation, but suffice it to say it’s a stressful time for people I care about. It’s not easy, but I’m only involved insofar as I’m trying to help them, so I’ve tried to keep going forward…

Back on track(sorta...)

Hey guys, happy Saturday! Hope you’re all doing well. I’m back at it, myself! Well, sorta… Currently trying to get back into the rhythm, but it’s been a bit difficult after the holidays. As my schedule normalizes, I hope to get back into better rhythm though! Continuing with my plans to write and edit in tandem, so hopefully I’ll have some A Cry from Silence news to share soon. That said,…

The week's catchup

Hey folks, happy Sunday! Since my last post was Wednesday, it doesn’t feel like enough has happened for a full update. I can tell you I’m back at it, though, and I’m currently trying to juggle a bit of a back and forth between editing the book and writing A Cry from Silence. We shall see how it goes, but don’t have much to share in either department at the moment. Hope you all are doing well…
