Oh wow (it's been a year, no surprise there). I hope everyone who reads this is doing well. I feel that I have to remove the works I have right now because I am currently putting so much effort into improving my writing. I may not ever be where I want to be exactly, but I feel that now is a time in my life when I am growing so much, I don't think its fair to share work that is changing and sloppy. It's so weird to look at things I wrote years ago and to have read what I have read, admired writers I have admired, and put out work of a subpar quality. I do hope to return as a writer on this platform, but only when I can be more satisfied with the content I put out. That doesn't mean I won't recommend a book here or there, but now I can feel like my absence is justified. Like I have explained why I abandoned things. I have to put so much more work and time into my stories, and the characters, and the worlds, to do the readers, myself, and the work justice.

Uggggghhh.....
          I need to do a review of the first book of the Death and Life of Zebulon Finch.
          It's just not my favorite. I'd give it a 3/5 stars. The whole thing felt very extended and I think seperating the whole thing intosmaller parts would have been better. Towards yhe end events got very comfusing and I have no idea what happened to one of the characters. The main character, Zebulon, makes the same mistakes, claiming to learn and then messing up all over again. I did love a lot of the elssons he learned, however, and the unique immortality of Zebulon was very interesting-it was such a cool take on immortality. I would have given it 5 stars if it hadn't started to drag on with repeating messages and confusing events.

So apparently, being the naive person I am I thought that my break would give me time to post the teaser for the other book I have been working on. I am hilarious. Ha. Ha. Ha. Anyway I will try to get that up, but the person who was suposed to be editing my teaser did not look over it for me for forever so.....Anyway! Hope all of you are doing well!
