I Broke A Rule

While writing Twelfth Meridian, I’ve given myself a set of rules. One is avoiding overused jokes and letting the jokes come organically, and another is not basing chapters on music. Keep Hyong as the second main, and make sure she’s not overshadowed by other characters. What did I do? Overshadow her for one chapter. ThisContinue reading “I Broke A Rule”

Writing Plans 2021

As I mentioned in a previous post, I published Evermore Quatrain, and now I’m moving on to the next book. 12M has been pushed back once again, but at least I have another project to write. This year I’m collaborating with a small group to make a how-to on reading playing cards. If you neverContinue reading “Writing Plans 2021”

Man, I Hated 2020

Still coming off the forceful jazz that entire year had. See, I do numerology in my spare time, and when there’s a 0, that means we have a force number, so you add 20 + 20 instead of ignoring the 0 (that’s my system, and no one else does it). It’s a 40 year. TellingContinue reading “Man, I Hated 2020”

Feeling Lost

12M is calling me like you wouldn’t believe, but this is one of those days where I don’t know what to do. I may have to start up some backstory regarding a certain character? The problem is, I see the image, but it’s hard to put it in words, and I worry too much aboutContinue reading “Feeling Lost”

2021 Goals + eBook Announcement

Happy New Year! After yesterday’s nervous breakdown over the book I’ve hung the calendar and am ready to set goals. Release Evermore Quatrain on eBook Might be cheating to say this but the pre-order is already set up. The ebook will release on the 13th of February, and I’ll change the page to reflect that.Continue reading “2021 Goals + eBook Announcement”

I Take Back the Expected Date

I just received an email telling me my new book is live. Excuse me while I say, “Holy Shit!”. Introducing Evermore Quatrain: Modern Prophecies, Inspired by Nostradamus. I’ll make a page for it, but in the meantime, you can order this book here. Happy hunting!

Reflecting on 2020

2020 has been a whirlwind. I simultaneously got a job and then left it late this year, and my mum did the same in the same time frame. Lockdown was especially hard. Dad lost his job, and I couldn’t bring myself to do anything while I watched people on TV DIY. I couldn’t wait toContinue reading “Reflecting on 2020”

5000 Words Reached

It’s taken shorter than expected! My only obstacles were that I went out of town for a week, and then the next week I quit my job. For now I’m a full-time writer, and nothing else matters. Things have finally come together regarding the story, and when that happens I feel an absolute lightheartedness andContinue reading “5000 Words Reached”

3000 Words Reached

I can’t believe that advice worked so well. To think I had trouble reaching 1000 for months! The next milestone is 5000, even if that sounds far-fetched to me now. The first chapter is almost done for the first draft, and I’m super excited to get in and edit. My next trouble, though, is addingContinue reading “3000 Words Reached”

2000 Words Reached

After a week-long trip, I’ve finally made it to 2000 on my project. Somebody advised I make the first draft the worst I can make it, and honestly? It’s the best advice I’ve ever heard. It’s brought me a new perspective of imperfection. If you want to try it yourself, you’ll be surprised by theContinue reading “2000 Words Reached”
