A little bit of reality on a friday

10/23/2015

Boy, ain't that the truth. One of the most exciting things I have discovered through writing, is the way that the mind can put itself into the place of another. When I'm writing, as corny as this may sound, I become the character that is in that story. In a snap, my mind can step into the mindset of any other character... and maintain their unique personality and vision. That's one of the most rewarding and exciting feelings during the process of writing. Anyone else have some thoughts on this post?

POSTING SCHEDULE

I post on this blog rather sporadically as some of you may have noticed! As I balance out writing with "the day job" I will do my best to post more consistently.

I am also posting my latest novel "Traitor's Games" piece by piece on Wattpad. Revision 3 is almost finished but reader feedback is exceptionally valuable and wattpad offers a good way to get granular comments and polish improvements on the manuscript! See the link at the bottom of the site under my connect info for more ways to view content.

In the future I plan to have a set schedule for posting about other writing-related things, or topics in my interest field such as Table Top War Gaming and Video Games.

Thank you for your support and feedback!
