What's Next?

There’s so much happening in my world right now that I can hardly contain my excitement! First and foremost, I'm thrilled to announce that my debut novel, Shadows of Kriegland, is officially on sale! It’s a huge milestone for me, and I can’t wait for readers to dive into the story I’ve poured my heart and soul into. Seeing my work finally out there feels like a dream come true, and I’m eager to hear what people think.

But that’s not all—there’s more on the horizon! I’m currently in the throes of writing my next novel, titled Corruption of Al-Ard. This upcoming adventure takes place in a vast, unforgiving desert where my characters, Klaus and Elenor, find themselves facing a formidable foe known as the creature of scars. This sinister entity feeds on desire and chaos, pulling them into a complex web of intrigue and danger. As they embark on this perilous quest, they'll be tested in ways they never imagined, and I can’t wait to see how their journey unfolds. Stay tuned for more updates; it’s shaping up to be an exhilarating ride.

I have gotten into multi project writing, where I work on 3-4 projects at once. The benefits is when I hit a wall with one project, I work on another. I have noticed that burnout can occur and confusion is a big thing as plots can get confused. Plus there is that A word that I can get accused of as multiple projects are completed concurrently.I've recently embraced the approach of multi-project writing, allowing me to juggle three to four different projects at the same time. This method has proven to be quite beneficial, especially when I hit a creative block or encounter a challenging moment with one story. Instead of getting stuck in frustration, I can seamlessly shift my focus to another project, which often reignites my inspiration and keeps my creativity flowing.

However, this approach isn’t without its challenges. One significant drawback I've noticed is the potential for burnout. Juggling multiple stories can sometimes feel overwhelming, and there are moments when it seems like I'm stretched too thin. Additionally, confusion can creep in as I try to keep track of the various plots, characters, and settings. Each story has its own intricacies, and it can be tricky to maintain clarity across multiple narratives.

Then there's the issue of being accused of relying too much on technology (The dreaded A word comes to mind here) or tools to aid my writing process. When working on multiple projects at once, it’s easy for others (and sometimes even myself) to perceive me as lacking focus. I often feel the need to defend this approach, as I truly believe it helps me foster creativity and develop unique ideas. While it can be challenging to manage, I find that this method ultimately allows me to explore diverse stories and themes, enriching my writing experience as a whole. It’s a balancing act, but one that I'm willing to navigate for the sake of my passion for storytelling. Also it allows me to get multiple projects done.

Now back to my two novels, tabletop rpgs and a cookbook.

Keep on adventuring till next time.
