Writing Update January 2022

Writing Update

Writing has been challenging the last month or so, partially because of Covid (The dreaded plague) and because I am having trouble finishing the last chapter of my next book “Demon Tide.” 

I’m fortunate to say that I was spared the bulk of symptoms, but it was not fun. Down with the Covid, I say!

As far as finishing the last chapter of Demon Tide, I think I just need some inspiration to really make it good. Being locked inside for weeks on end isn’t good for the imagination, or the body! The ending is in there somewhere, I just haven’t put it into words yet. Will it end happily? With death and destruction? A budding romance? I haven’t decided yet. All I know is that I can’t wait to dive into book two. 

It is strange, however, that I’ve begun to notice some parallels between Demon Tide and the world as it stands today. The more I write it, the more they seem to line up. Don’t worry, it’s a total fantasy story with exciting twists and turns and fantastical creatures, but there are just some things in there that would make you go “hmm…” about current events.

Either way, I plan to finish “Demon Tide” soon, with book two quickly to follow. Additionally, I am aiming to start another really cool series that has a James Patterson and Jack Ryan feel to it. I’ve also challenged myself to write a semi-romance at some time in the future. We will see how that goes. 

Until the next update, I’m signing off!

Standing Against the Darkness

You see it every day. The people you work with, interact with at the grocery store, church, or on the road. Empty. Discouraged. Defeated.

If you were to stop and ask them, they might tell you it’s something they are going through–a family issue, some financial concerns, cancer. But like you, they know it goes deeper than that. There’s something wrong with the world today.

Never. Lose. Hope.
