The Struggle is Real
17 . Oct . 2017
Fall has settled in; it’s my favorite time of year. The cooler air and seasonal changes seem to bring out more and different stories. And I look forward to writing them.
Fredericksburg Independent Book Festival went great. I felt Broken Road was well received. In meeting with so many different people, talking about it and what stories lie ahead, I really get motivated to not just write more, but to keep writing these stories. I look forward to meeting these fans again at next year’s festival.
Big thanks to James Noll for putting such an awesome event together. And a personal thank you to Chris Barcomb, writer of Superior Sam, a comic about an adventurous amputee boy. Please check out both of their works.
And since FredBookFest, it has been back to business as usual. Escaping a couple evenings a week to have some strong writing sessions while writing out little bits of thoughts and ideas in between all the daily hubbub. As another goal, I hope to have a strong outline for the next short story by the end of November with NaNoWriMo. I doubt I’ll actually use NaNoWriMo as a method of writing my novel, but I will use it as a writing exercise to keep me in the mind of writing everyday (which I’m currently not doing).
And why not? Well, to start, I’ve been wanting to read more. And if I’m reading, I’m not writing. Then there’s the blog (which technically shouldn’t take long), but also research for expanding our audience. Which festivals or cons are we going to be at next? MailChimp, I haven’t even touched yet, and I need to if i want to stay connected with you. This stuff becomes a lot for a one-man-band with a day job and kids. I’m trying not to make excuses, I’m just laying out my situation. And I’m fine with the situation I’m in. The struggle isn’t just in stories, it’s in real life.
I’m also still writing some history and lore for Legends of Valeros. An exciting fun fantasy game played on the Minecraft platform. Alpha launch is coming soon, stop by their store and get yourself an Alpha key.
So what’s next? Marc will be at Phantasm Comics on Oct 28th with copies of Broken Road as well as prints from The Shagal. As of now I will not be there, but if anything changes, I will keep you posted.
Thank you for being here for me. Happy Halloween!
