    🤔 Deciding What's Next:

    As I look to the coming week, I'm at a creative crossroads with several potential projects vying for my attention. These include continuing "Punks Versus Zombies," further developing "Wyvern Rider," diving into "Ravenglass Legends Book 3," starting "Guild of Assassins 2," or advancing "Dawn of Assassins 4." Each project offers unique challenges and opportunities, making the choice both exciting and daunting.


    I would love to hear your thoughts on how you prioritize multiple creative projects or which of these you’d be most excited to see progress. Your feedback is invaluable as I navigate these creative waters.

    May 25 2024

    Welcome to this week's Author Diary. Despite battling a virus, I managed to make some progress with my writing and engage with my Ream community.


    🤒 Battling Illness:

    This week has been challenging as I've been under the weather with a virus. It's always tough balancing rest and productivity during such times, but health comes first.


    ✍️ "Wyvern Rider" Progress:

    Even with limited energy, I managed to write a few chapters of "Wyvern Rider." Progress might be slower, but each step forward is important and keeps the narrative alive and evolving.


    📚 Sharing on Ream:

    I've also posted some short stories to my Ream community. It’s always a pleasure to share these pieces and engage with readers, receiving their thoughts and feedback.


    🔉 Short Episode:

    Given the circumstances, this week’s diary entry is shorter than usual. I appreciate your understanding and support as I focus on recovery and maintaining a bit of creative output.


    Looking forward to returning with more energy and updates next week. In the meantime, feel free to share how you manage creativity during downtime or illness. Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more insights into my author's journey!

    📝 "Punks Versus Zombies" Progress:

    This week, I’ve been busy with the "Punks Versus Zombies" series, successfully writing episode 38 and drafting the first version of episode 39. Each episode brings new challenges and twists, keeping the series fresh and thrilling.


    ✍️ "Wyvern Rider" Redrafting:

    I'm currently redrafting "Wyvern Rider," a story close to my heart. I’m excited to announce that I will start posting it on Ream starting May 18. It's shaping up well, and I can't wait to share this adventure with my readers.


    📚 Expanding Content on Ream:

    Alongside new stories, I've been posting a selection of my old short stories and novellas on Ream. There's a treasure trove of narratives I've crafted over the years, and I'm looking forward to bringing more of these into the light for new and longtime readers to enjoy.


    🎶 Current Reading:

    I’ve been engrossed in "Delta Blues – The Life and Times of the Mississippi Masters Who Revolutionized American Music." This book has been a fascinating journey into the roots and profound impact of Delta blues on American music, offering deep insights and appreciation for this influential genre.


    As I continue to write, redraft, and delve into the profound depths of music history, I look forward to sharing more about my creative process and the inspirations behind my work.
