It's been a good while, but Gearbox 7 is back!
          I'm happy to announce that the prologue and first chapter of Gearbox 7: Second Phase have officially been published! Even if updates are likely to take some time due to general busyness on my side, I hope this new chapter in the Gearbox story will continue to be enjoyed while improving on the foundations built by the first book.
          
          As a disclaimer, I'd also like to recommend the short story "Gearbox 7: Times of Frost" to any whom may have missed it. It's a relatively short read that takes place between the events of Gearbox 7's First and Second phases, and may help build some aspects of the story that will be further explored as this next phase continues!

Well, as unbelievable as it may be to say this, we've made it. Today, the 28th of June, 2022, 3 years and 19 days after its first batch of chapters were published, "Gearbox 7: First Phase" has made it to its conclusion. It took 375,193 words, 904 pages, and 2 Google Documents, but it's done.
          
          I'd like to seriously thank anyone who's taken the time to read through even just the slightest amount of this book, shown support in any form or way, and accompanied me throughout this long journey. There is still a lot more left in store, but in the meantime I'll be making sure to enjoy such a milestone before getting ready to move into the next phase. I hope any readers have been able to enjoy reading through the story as much as I enjoyed writing it, and in the meantime I hope you'll be able to look forward to the future as much as I! :D
          
          Signing off for now to enjoy the current moment to the fullest before getting ready to continue writing,

Alright so, after a while of having the idea floating around my head, I'm happy to announce that I have finally decided to take the time to go on and design a new cover for "Gearbox 7: First Phase." This cover, which was chosen from amongst a group of three other cover designs that I made, has already replaced the original one which the book has been using ever since its initial release during June of 2019, so hopefully it'll be able to serve as a positive improvement over the more bland and limited design of the original cover.
          
          With that said, despite it only being a relatively small change for the book, I hope that this change in cover design will be enjoyed by anyone reading as much as I enjoyed it.
          
          And, in addition, I'd also like to thank anyone reading for helping the book read an astonishing 2.0K reads, which just continues to completely break through my initial expectations! I'll make sure to continue to give my best in continuing to work on this story to try and reach the finale of this first book in as best a manner as possible!

So, I know I'm like 2 or 3 days late, but "Gearbox 7: First Phase" has now made it to the 1,500+ reads! With the ending of this first book in the Gearbox 7 story now becoming visible in the horizon, I'm happy to see how this book has managed to keep people reading as well as bring in new readers!
          
          As per usual, I highly thank anyone who's taken the time to read even the slightest bit of this book, and let's keep on seeing how far we can get!

So, just wanted to make a quick update, nothing too important.
          
          Lately, it's come to my attention that I've been struggling a little when it comes to writing. It's not like a writer's block or writer's burnout, or at least not fully, but I've simply been seeing my pace slowing down a little for the last month or so. Of course, I don't plan to stop writing anytime soon, as I've got a lot of ideas for what I want to do with my current works and I still do enjoy myself when I can get myself in the proper mindset for writing, it's just that I've been having a harder time at simply keeping my attention on writing instead of having it slowly drift away into other things before coming back.
          
          If I had to give a say as to why this is, probably a bit of a lower motivation alongside how I've been spending more time writing due to the current times, so I guess I just need to give myself some more time to rest in between writing sessions. I have been doing that, and I'm happy to see my pace slowly seems to be coming back up to its usual, so hopefully I'll be able to keep on writing like normal soon. Can't make promises that it'll be done quickly, but mark my words that I ain't stopping anytime soon.
          
          I guess I just gotta stop for some extra gas before being able to keep on going at full throttle, you know?
