Work In Progress (brainstorming future books offline/behind the screen):

1. The Ororo Munroe Series: Shadow King - I might bring it back. It does not mean it is confirmed true.

2. Komi The Vampire Warrior - This book is in development within my mind.

3. The Moment I Fell For You - The same for this book.

Note: Other planned books in drafts are prequels to the universe of LOA but I am not including those since LOA is not finished. So the LOA prequels are ignored. 

PUBLISHED BOOKS WITH NO CHAPTERS: 

1. Darko-Man - I started on a different character's POV instead of Ivan's. I got stuck due to wondering how much worldbuilding I should show regarding his alien planet. So, I paused on his point of view. I got about 1k words on Pamela's (love interest) POV. So I've been debating whether or not I should show Pamela first instead of Ivan. It's tricky since I didn't mention Pamela's name in the summary. So I took down the "introduction" page to make changes to the summary. I didn't since my focus was on Linda Of Arc at the time. This time I won't take it down since I can just "publish changes" and not republish it again. 

2. The Everdoras - I started a chapter but didn't finish. It's the same thing as Darko-Man, the world-building aspect. 

3. Cooter Mistress Flirtatious - There wasn't a strong opening in the prologue and got stuck. So the book is on pause. 

Anyway, I decided to organize my books to put where my focus is as a whole. Since I updated a chapter on Greek Gods, I've started a chapter right after Valentine's Day. The reason why Greek Gods take a while to update is due to research and...a little bit of writer's block. Now, Greek Mythology is another thing. But researching how Greeks lived in Ancient times is a lot (and adding stuff that isn't accurate but at the same time mixing both what happened in Ancient Greece and making up scenarios that fit the story). 

So, it takes time for me to go ahead and pop out chapters left and right. For the writer's block, I know I've said before that I get less writer's block when it comes to my books. However, writer's block comes in due to being stuck on how this chapter will move forward. I have so many ideas for the first book that I wonder how is it going to be executed and I have to consider other Greek mythology stories. So, it's been tough trying to write my way around the novel. When I got to Chapter 5, I got the motivation to write more and not stop. My focus at the same time is on Linda Of Arc.

Note: Expect a chapter posted on Linda Of Arc and Greek Gods.

Since Greek Gods is out of the way, Cleopatra will have a chapter coming out soon because there are a lot of ideas I had brainstormed months ago that kept the book alive in my head for a while. I last posted a chapter in August, so I got busy and didn't have the right headspace to sit down and type a chapter. Actually, I wrote a few paragraphs but got stuck since college got in the way. 

I'm not going to mention The Noble Anderson and "Elina, Elina" because I have said enough in their books that they need an update. So, I am not going to say anything about that.

What I am excited about Darko-Man is a lot of things like showing a colorful world (how I use color in the story), romance, diversity (POC and LGBT characters), humor moments, family, culture, religious practices, and aliens. It's mainly a wacky colorful world with mature content attached to it. That's how to describe Darko-Man as a whole. 

I feel Darko-Man would do much better if the book was written in a graphic novel since it's a story that shouldn't be reiterated so many times that the story becomes all over the place. I want to tell Darko-Man in a tight story instead of doing it as a comic book. Comic books can go on forever but for Darko-Man, I just have this idea for his story to be self-contained and end his character arc on a good note. If I got better at my sketching, I would make a graphic novel for Darko-Man myself but that would take years. 

Anyway, I might try to write chapters offline for the "Very Important!" books to finish along with Greek Gods while I'm still brainstorming on Darko-Man, Cleopatra's chapter is in progress, Cooter is on a pause, and the Everdoras as well. I feel like I'm writing on a schedule and I understand that readers want to read COMPLETED books. I get that. 

For LOA's first draft, I got the book done in four months (+ more before that since it was going through revisions from early drafts). But the book after the early draft was done quicker offline before I got to posting on Wattpad. It was the first book written after quitting my old account. 

So I guess I've been writing slower which is due to real life and lack of reading. When I read more, that's how LOA's first draft was finished. So, I am trying to read more this year to get that writing juice to finish these books (especially those three books) on this account.

I know people aren't checking on this book anymore since it has a lot of parts (I get it) but I am mainly here to ramble about my books, share, etc. 

Anyway, this was just an update on the state of my books on this account.

That's all for now. Have a good day or night.
