We're Back ... Again

Alright...let's do this again. It's been a little over a year and eight months since I last wrote a blog post here. Now you all might be wondering why. Let me offer a few updates since I last posted on this blog. 

First of all, with my writing.  If you guys remember, last year I was primarily working on my novel. Although working on it was a little bit rich, since I hadn't really made any real additions to it in ages. I've had many stages of writer's block for a while, which has more than hampered my progress. But anyways with the big words. Since then, I've actually worked quite a bit on book 2 of the Stargazers series, or what was once book 2. Since then, I've started working on a prequel to the Stargazers series, something that will actually become my original Book 1. I took the idea of the prequel from The Witcher booker series. The way it went is that the first two books in the 7 book series were a series of short stories that introduced all of the characters and the setting. Following the introduction two books, the actual plot began in book 3. Similarly, I'm having boo k1 be the series of short stories that introduces the characters. Following that, book 2 begins the actual plot of the story, as seen in Stargazers: The Dark Void. Book 1 is gonna be called Stargazers: The Awakening. 

But apart from that, I actually had some writer's block with working on the Book 1 prequel story. As usual I have a hard time focusing on any one writing piece at a time. From there I began a new story.For those of you who haven't ever watched the romcom About Time, you definitely should. It's on Netflix, and it's actually such a heartwarming movie. But anyways, following that story  though there was so much more that could be explored with the story, so I've been working on a sequel story called Except Time. I won't go into too much here, but if you want to read it click this button.

But apart from differences in writing, a lot has happened in general in my life. Last May I graduated with my first degree. I'll be graduating this upcoming May with my Master's as well! I've gone through so much stress, exhaustion, trials, and tribulation. I've had one internship, and even accepted a job in San Francisco! So yeah, a lot has happened, so I hope you all understand why I haven't posted in a while. Recently, however, a lot of misfortune has befallen on me. I started a road trip with some of my friends from college, but that had to be cut short due to a COVID scare. 

Now here I am, five days later, stuck quarantined at home, positive with COVID. All of my friends went back as well. SO while I've been stuck at home, I've also had a lot of time to think. And whenever rI think, I want to start writing again. So here I am.  What can you all expect from me this time around? To be honest, probably not much, although I have a few short ideas that I want to write. Maybe some more of my thoughts centered around isolation and COVID. It's kinda sucked so far, although I hope things will be improving. We'll see what I post. I also want to get out Chapter 5 of Except Time soon so I should also get working on that.

But anyways, that's pretty much It for my update. I hope you all understand why I've been busy so far. I'll be working on the short story next!
