Now that I’m done with all three ebooks of The Package all I need to do is work on the paperback. So far, it’s on hold because my book cover designer is currently making mine. Sketch design, blurb, and all the necessary stuff are given to him.

Projected completion date of the book cover is around two weeks minimum, a month maximum. So I have plenty of time to work on other projects like this blog, newsletter, and drafting an upcoming nonfiction ebook. Will give you more details later.

Right now, I want some rest.

Ever since I decided to finish my short story trilogy it’s been a constant struggle for balance. The drive to finish editing and publishing my stories as ebooks is stronger than my need to post on my blog. However, it doesn’t mean I stop posting.

But it also means I may end up missing some deadlines or typing up my posts on the fly. I will try to stay consistent in my posts as best I can. I will also let you know when I publish my stories and post a link to them.

Thank you for your patience. Let’s keep on writing.

I’ve reached the end of my first red notebook, all 48 pages. Finally, a notebook I actually finished and it’s a great feeling. Does this mean I’ve written everything I needed for my blog?

Not a chance. I never run out of ideas. Got plenty up the wazoo. But ideas are a dime a dozen and there are two problems with it. The first one is trying to write them on paper. Plenty of people have that problem right before it disappears from their memories.

The second problem is implementing the ideas to see if they work. Another variant of the second problem is wanting to maintain the implementation even when it’s not working. People put in so much time, money, and effort into an idea it’s easy to stick with it rather than being wrong and trying something else.

When it comes to this website I don’t have a problem with generating ideas, writing them down, and implementing them. My primary goal with this blog is an online space I can talk about anything. It’s written on paper first, then gets typed up, edited, and published.

Finding readers and subscribers, or getting compensated for my work isn’t my first, second, or third priority. This blog was an idea that took a life of its own. And so far it’s been a success. So I will continue to have ideas, big or small, and write until I can’t do so anymore.

As I retire this first notebook, transfer to another red one, and prepare to retire my first and only red pencil, I look forward to more writing opportunities and blog posts. To everyone keeping up with me, thank you for your support.
