Hello, all! It's been a long time. If you've been waiting
for some information on what's next from me, it turns out I do have some news. First
up is a web site update and slight overhaul. My site hosting changed a bit
and I found my login again, trying to consolidate information and be, you
know, informative about what's going on. I'm currently working on a third edition of
'Original Plots'. There have been a lot of things going on with storytelling
that I wasn't able to address in the last book. Race, Gender, Sexual
Orientation swaps in stories for one; when to use them, when not to use them.
We need some updated commentary on current movies and books. We also need to
talk about the apparent downfall of cinema,
the rise of streaming, and where storytelling goes in a post pandemic world. So much to
cover in the almost decade since the first book's release.
Where
have I been? That's tough to explain. I have
had considerable setbacks to my writing, obviously. The truth is I was just
in no position to write. Deaths of family and friends
brought my writing pretty much to a standstill as I tried to sort out my
feelings on life, liberty, the pursuit of happines including my writing.
I've been doing my best to right some wrongs in my life and process some
feelings. The good news is I think I'm coming out the haze. I'm hoping to have the new edition of Original Plots and the
first novel of Serin Prophecy done by the fall, yes, THIS FALL...of 2021. I
know, I know, I'm the boy who cried THE BOOK WILL BE DONE THIS YEAR for
several years now.
What can I do? Actions speak louder than words so
I'm making some plans and if all goes well I can get this stuff done. For the five or six
fans still left out there who still follow me I appreciate you! Thanks for
sticking around. I'm going to
do my best to provide updates here at least once a month. Keep me
accountable!
