Writing Update 06/01/24

Hello All,

This last while has been very busy. I haven’t gotten much chance to write in quite a while, and – just to note – that won’t be over for a while yet. There will still be a few more months of eclectic writing. However, I think I will try to keep this blog updated.

What I realised last time is that I do not work enough to make writing a progress update worth it every week (effectively, I’m skimming off a seventh or more of my writing time to write one). That is why the blogs will either come fortnightly or monthly, with exceptions for reviews and other things I might want to write.

With that being said...

Book Updates:

• Mentor, a new project since last I wrote, stands at about 5,000/60,000 (8%)

• While I haven’t touched Gold Bound in a while, it did shoot up to about 20,000/80,000 (25%) after I stopped writing updates.

• A Complete History of the Apocalypse has not been touched.

Some other projects I’m working on:

• The website (I have spent the better half of the week trying to set it up)

• Shorts, including DON’T SCREAM FIRE IN A CROWDED THEATRE, a flash fantasy comedy which is undergoing its third draft. It will have been sent out on submission before I write next, and hopefully I’ll have news on that. I’ve been experimenting with short stories, and I think I may take a break to work on them for a while before going back to my longer pieces. While progress bars won’t be added for these pieces, I will keep you posted here.

I am currently reading The Ocean at the End of the Lane, by Neil Gaiman. I am 0/52 books through my Goodreads goal (a whopping 0%).

Another current addiction is Car Masters: Rust to Riches. I’m not a car person, but I still recommend it to everyone purely on entertainment value.
