Hello, my fellow writers and readers. I hope this new year finds you well! I'm working through edits for Wolf Stone and BattleTech and revising a few new short stories for you all. Thank you very much for your reads and feedback and for enjoying these stories I've created for you and me.

The small piece I put out for metal health is out

Another day another dollar. Balancing work with creativity is always a challenge. But then also remembering to take care of oneself, that one's also equally a challenge. Getting all three to work together? Let me know if you figure it out because I'm sure you can make a killing in sales revenue. 
          
          This week has been much the same. I'm currently cataloging all of my stories and trying to get them into the proper format for Wattpad. Some old, some new. Will let you know when they're ready to go.

Good morning and salutations! 
          
          Was hard at work yesterday getting things organized and trying to study a bit more about what makes a good Wattpad story, in terms of algorithms. 
          
          It's surprising; did you know that it's better off to do anywhere between 2,000 to 3,000 words? Most of the chapters I've written tend to be upwards of 5,000 or more, but I guess that's not as common on Wattpad. It makes sense though; when you're reading something on Wattpad it's usually in between stuff so you only have about 10 or so minutes at best. 
          
          Short and sweet seems to be the way of the game, and I'm currently seeing how to adjust some of my chapters to fit that length better. It's been an interesting process to reevaluate older work to fit that format, and a good challenge. I've noticed it's a bit more of a game to try to figure out what is most important in the chapter, OR at the very least, how to split a large chapter into smaller bits. 
          
          All right, back to it then.

It is interesting to see how quickly one can fall out of the habit of doing something they love. 
          
          I have been meaning to get back into Wattpad for quite some time now, and I feel like it's something I need to do for myself as much as for my followers; I generally do better when I get to write-- when I share stories. I'm sure all of you can relate, at least those with stories to tell. And for those who do not, do not fret; everyone has an excellent story. You just need to find it. To that end, I want to make a goal: I will get on to Wattpad daily for the following week. The idea is to get on daily to edit, post something, leave a message, or read someone else's stuff. That way, I can make a habit out of it; if it's a habit, I'm more likely to stick with my goal. I hope you're all doing well, and I look forward to sharing and hearing more stories from all of you.

Hello there friend, I have checked your book and it's really interesting, enough to make you a good judge of a book, I need that, an opinion on my newly published story if it is possible, I would appreciate a lot. 

Hi, I was wondering if you would like to enter your book in my contest, The Love Song Awards? It just started and I'm trying to get as many participants as possible for each genre. All books must have romance as a sub-genre and a minimum of 10 to 15 chapters (short story is a minimum of 3 or 5,000 words). Submissions close on January 30th. Thank you!

Heads up everyone Drowning Utopia is back. Thank you all for your patience as I tried to get it published. But alas, no such luck (yet). Also, Wolf Stone is temporarily down until I can get a few things starting out, but it will be back (at least in part) in a littal bit. Thank you all for your patience. Happy reading.

How often do we think to ourselves that we understand how our brains work, only to find that we are entirely wrong about it? Happens to me often, and I have to admit that having a weekly set time is not how I work well for posting. And so, moving forward, (if you haven't noticed already), I will be posting as I have time, and as available. after all, you can dictate the creative process, any more then you can control the weather. :)

Hey there! Thanks for the follow; looking forward to reading 'Wolf Stone!'
