Just a quick update today. I’ve been keeping a pretty steady pace on the writing front. I’ve finished the second draft for my 50 page fantasy short story Brazen and I’m a quarter of the way through the second draft for my upcoming fantasy novel The Last Motley. This book was actually written two years ago, but I …
In the last installment, I mentioned how my fascination with Choose Your Own Adventure books did not quite blossom into a full blown love of reading. But even if it did not get me there, in many ways it led me into what did, and that’s what I intend to focus on in this article. …
