It has been a while...

Burnout, anxiety, stress, the uncertain future and a lot of other things have collided in the past few months. I promised myself this year that I will be better or that at least I’ll try to be happier this year, with a brighter outlook on everything. And you can imagine how poorly that went this year due to a more than few certain things. And as good the good things that happened this year were, and the fortune of not getting ill or sick, it has been difficult to keep writing stories. Especially I Write Sins, when it all felt so bad. I didn’t feel it was appropriate to keep writing a story about an unhappy man in a relationship that dreams of other fulfillment. Well, that and the burnout didn’t help either. But, I have been writing. The fifth book is a beast and writing it is fulfilling, depressing and fun to research. We also have the cover figured out and I can’t wait to share it with you all. You do have a preview in books to the cover. But, there is a lot to still go before it is all ready to share. Yet, I do promise that it will probably ready for 2021. So, please do look forward to the first page of the first 7 chapters.

The book, isn’t the only thing I have been working on though. That announcement soon tab is also something different that I am trying to work on. It has been an idea of mine for three years already and it is getting close to a final product. Which will also be available next year probably in some for or another. And I can’t wait to share it with you all. Speaking of branching out, I also been trying to figure out a way into comic books. And this next year, I’ll try even harder to find my way into that type of a creative outlet. Even if it is through a platform as WebToons. As we the rest, there is a lot of work to be done and things to come in place before even attempting such a thing. But, that doesn’t mean I’m not going to try to find a way to do it through some sort of means. I always loved the artform, whether we are talking the western style or the Japanese one. There is something quite interesting about that means of storytelling and how they manage to do it so well. And the last thing I am looking into doing a bit more is finding a way into writing more games like I did with Questo, which was quite a fun experience.

Now, I explained what happened with I Write Sins…, the book, what I want to branch out to in the future. But, I haven’t quite touched on what will happen with Nobody The Blog and The Pilot Program. Well, they will continue. Starting with 2021 we will have a new short story published on a weekly bases. I can’t wait. These past years have been a treat in trying to improve my storytelling capabilities. Trying to be more meticulous in the writing, with less grammatical mistakes or misspellings and more engrossing stories and characters. To that end, that’s the reason this book is taking so long to write and create. I want it to be better than everything that came before. I want it to be the best I can do right now. And that’s how I want things to be going further, better than what I’ve done to that day. It is to that extent that I can’t wait to share the next year and short story series with you all. When? Every Friday evening, Saturday morning, depending on the timezone you are in. See you all in 2021. Stay safe. And thank you.
