here it is! the new title and cover of my upcoming novel! it originally had a different name, but i changed it to something that fits the story better. i’m only in the beginning stages now, but hopefully ill have this out in a timely manner! as for now the release is TBA!

forgot to post, here are my strengths apparently according to horoscope. definitely accurate to put creativity on this list, as it defines me entirely.

starting to heavily look into being hired into a freelance writing position, i’d like to stay at this future one for a while though, i left my last two gigs way too quickly, and i hope to find work at stable and open website. i’ll be wanting to do this along with my novel!

great news: will be starting up writing on Beneath The Shield Tree this week! i took a much needed mental break after burning myself out badly, now that a couple weeks have passed, i’m comfortable starting up again. just going to be cautious not to overdue

apparently these are my weaknesses! according to the twitter horoscope.. yes i have major reluctance to touch on Our Live is Locked again, but for good reason! regardless, these AI inputs were almost spot on.

Padres Editorial: More Moves on the Horizon? - East Village Times once more a great article i wrote 9 years ago, and once more the creator and editor have credit to someone who didn’t even write these articles, unfortunate but it’s been long enough eastvillagetimes.com/padres-…

Chargers Editorial: The Legacy of Malcom Floyd - East Village Times another great article i wrote almost 10 years ago now. unfortunately, after i left my position there the creator of the website changed the name on the article, giving false credit! eastvillagetimes.com/charger…

"Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" to Be Performed at High Schools in 2024 for those wondering, this is an article i wrote when i worked for MuggleNet, i was really proud of this one, hopefully now a good writing sample for future employment! mugglenet.com/2023/09/harry-…

tried the twitter AI horoscope feature, and it was quite accurate except for the dating category… apparently i’m in a relationship with the protagonist in the Our Love is Locked series! that’s a first! if it only thinks i can get a fictional character as a date, im in trouble!

100% yes! my library is right down the street from my place, and they have more than just books, DVDs ebooks, magazines, audio books, and so much more. i try to go as often as i can and love going through the books there and movies as well!

here’s a little update: writing on my book has been slightly delayed. i’ve had complications come up for the past week, and i’m currently planning rewrites for the second chapter of my novel. without going into detail i felt i was developing the story too fast, so bare with me!

i’ve decided im not going to name any of the chapters until i’m closer to the end of writing Beneath The Shield Tree. i’m slowly brainstorming ideas for it now but the chapters will likely be unnamed for a while. for the time being i’ll refer to them as numbered chapters

writing chapter 3 of Beneath The Shield Tree tonight! or at least starting it. i finished chapter 2 last night so hopefully ill get a big chunk into it tonight

the second chapter of Beneath The Shield Tree was in my opinion incredible. that’s why i wrote for over 2 hours straight. ideas were popping out of my head. i’m writing a story about depression and anxiety, and i have a good roadmap as to where the story will go

i think it’s only an author thing and a writer thing to sit down and write at a certain time and then the next time you look at the clock hours have passed. last night i started writing at 11 and finished at 1:30am, couldn’t stop until i finished the chapter, i was on a tear.

i got some new ideas based on Our Love is Locked. my initial plan, and remember this is her early and i won’t start any progress on it until my current novel is out, but the direction i’m considering is a sequel set 25 years in the future, so the original characters will be out.

at first i thought as an author i was only going to use this account whenever i had to, like promo and updates, but now i feel it’s better staying in touch and keeping readers involved. i’m going to post here every day and on occasion through goodreads! glad to be around here.
