My god I'm not sure how people maintain a constant social media presence... Wattpad, however, hasn't been very kind in letting me know what's going on, despite me making sure that all notifications are on, active, and available. Apparently my phone is very rude. For those that think about me, or my stories most likely, from time to time, I'm still alive! It's been a rough year but I'm alive! Hope you all have been having a good year so far!

I think about you and your stories quite often and try to come back every few months to see if there is a new installment to summons yet. So far it looks like still no. But hopefully soon

I know I've been on a streak for writing, and I still am! This next chapter of Pokemon is finished and has been but it's waiting on something special before I'm going to publish it! Meanwhile I am working on further chapters so that I'm still ahead! Thank you for being patient with me. It'll be worth the wait, I promise! And it'll only be a few more days! Not months! I promise!

Well, my fiance went and spoiled me by going out and buying me my own personal laptop with the caveat, "Now you have even less excuses not to write!" So I think she's trying to tell me something lol... I know... I haven't been writing nearly as much as I should. I would do damn near anything to be able to dedicate so much more time to sitting down and creating content. Alas, work is incredibly draining mentally and by the time I get home my brain is mush and my motivation is almost gone. 
          
          This does make my writing suffer and it makes me suffer knowing that there's many of you out there that have probably given up on me. And I get that, and probably deserve it. I just want you to know that I haven't forgotten. I haven't stopped writing I just don't have that much free time to do it. Many of you may have noticed certain times where I'm more active and that's due to my job being in a down time period. During the summer it's much more active and so my time is detracted from GREATLY. 
          
          I'm sorry that I haven't been active and I say this a lot, but I really want to keep going and I'll try to be better about it. I've had the writing bug biting me and I want to but work is taking the majority of my time and mental capacity. Thank you everyone who has read and followed me. Know that I know that you deserve so much more and deserve better. This isn't lost on me. Thank you all so much that are still eagerly awaiting my content! Your positive words mean the world to me!

@UnbridledOne117 I currently work as a roadway inspector but I would love to get back to teaching. 
            
            And yes, I do plan to have more and will be/have been working on it but I've been trying to build up some reserves so that we're not waiting years between updates like previously. 
            
            What I wouldn't give to be able to write more on a full time basis

I really enjoy your summons stories. I haven’t read your other but I will give them a try. You are really talented and I look forward to reading more of your works. I am curious so I will ask what do you do for work? Also do you think you will continue the summons story? I feel like you left a lot of room for the story to continue and I have waited a long time for it and haven’t seen it happen so now I gotta ask. Is it something you want or plan to do or is it over and done now?

I’ve read summons a couple of different times through over the years since you started writing it, and you have some really great talent! I just rejoined this app recently and read one of your more recent works on Pokémon and I was just as hooked! If you plan on working on this writing at all, in your own time, I say do it! You really have a knack for getting readers attention. Keep up the great work man! I hope things are well and hopefully I’ll receive a notification that has to do with you or your stories soon!

PatrickSeager

@yorkandrew32 I appreciate it! I will keep it mind!

@PatrickSeager Well I am fairly certain that the sequel will be a huge hit. Just take your time and like you said, “let the characters write the story”. That’s a really neat quote. It’s been awesome talking with you, it makes me happy seeing someday sticking with something they enjoy doing while also taking time for themselves. If you ever feel like bouncing ideas around, from a fans perspective, I’d always be down! Take care and keep up the good work :)

@yorkandrew32 of course! As much as I would like to say the sequel is my main project it's a little more complex than that. I actually think it's because it caught on WAY more than I ever expected it to so I feel a bit anxious about messing up on it. I know it's probably not as big a deal as it is in my head but it still weighs on me, due to it being a more serious continuation of the introduction of the first book. The pokemon story however I feel I have more leniency in because I can just do whatever with it in a light hearted world and what ever happens happens. Truthfully I just need to get that spark of motivation fueled again and just go at writing. The hurdle is starting it up, the easy part is letting the characters write the story.
            
            As for other stories? I've read a couple that caught my attention but that was a few years ago and they were unfinished and I'm not sure if they ever were completed. I cant even remember them because they didnt get updated

I've been doing some thinking... I had plans and reasons for naming Demeter the way I did but the longer I think on it the more I dislike it. As such, I want to rename the water cat to something more unique to her. 
          
          I would love to hear you guys' options! PM me a name and reason and the name I like the most will replace her current name!

PatrickSeager

@PatrickSeager I'm trying to avoid naming her after other mythological characters, looking for something more unique

Hey Patrick, I was just wondering, is there any possibility of a sequel to Summons. It's an incredible book and I was wondering if there could be another incredible part to the Summons world

NathanScottCrossley

@PatrickSeager So you're saying that in this sequel Crowe will still be learning what it truly means to be a dragon summoner and assumably what it means to be a guardian as well
Reply

PatrickSeager

@NathanScottCrossley I set it up for them to do their own thing and come back later. I wanted to impose the idea that Crowe, at least, still has a lot of learning and growing to do

NathanScottCrossley

@PatrickSeager That's better than I could have hoped for. The end of Summons did seem to have a finality to it, but hope is a powerful thing.

I'm curious to see if you will make a sequel to Summons because I think you should and I love it.
