            This story has been an amazing ride to create, and if you enjoyed it here, I promise it's 10x better now that it has been revised, edited, and completed! This story will be re-released on October 8th, 2021 from my publisher, Emergent Realms.

I haven't posted on here in a long while. I could go on with the whys and whatnot (most of it has to do with issues with getting my editing done), but I'm currently revising Continua after my dev editor has returned my notes, and I'll likely post the changes to it here for you guys to read when I'm done. I do play on publishing it to Amazon, so I hope you guys are willing to support me there :)

hey, just wanted to say that i started your book on how to boost my creative potential — i really enjoy it so far. 
          
          i followed each step you gave for setting my own goals, simply by commenting on each step, i was wondering if what i did seemed correct to you? i really look forward to using this method, i have a feeling it'll really offer me a lot of positive changes and in the end, improvement.
          
          thanks for sharing!

@jjwilbourne thanks so much for your quick feedback! 
            
            i'll definitely consider setting rough deadlines for each subdivision, would you think it's okay to add a marge or about a week? since writing is something i need to take my time for, plus seeing that some sections may be easier to write than others. it's something i hadn't thought of before, so i really appreciate the suggestion.
            
            i'm happy that my comments could in a way be helpful to you as well — i have only read the first two chapters of your book so far, will definitely be continuing. look forward to what else you have written in there, glad that i came across this work of yours. :) take care!

@sophro_520 Oh! Also, I see how you subdivided your goals. That's great. You can also apply a layer of SMART to each subdivision. For example, you may want to set a time-frame on when to complete each section. This helps you manage your time better so that you don't fall behind and realize too late that you're not going to hit your deadline.

@sophro_520 I'm glad you're finding it helpful. I reviewed your comments, and I think you've nailed the goal-setting process. Feel free to message me if you need any help otherwise.
            
            I really need to update this book with new chapters. Your comments have sparked my interested in doing so because I'm in a bit of a stand-still with my fiction. There are some critical pieces that I've discovered about creativity that I've yet to include in this book.

Hey! I just wanted to let you know that I'm still alive. I'm so sorry that I haven't been updating lately, but after doing some developmental editing work for another author, and writing the next few episodes of The Triangle, it was time for me to head out of town on holiday. But here are a few updates: 
          
          1. I will return to updating CONTINUA in July. 
          2. I've nearly finished season 1 of The Triangle. My writing buddy is reading now reading it first to make sure I'm telling the best story I can for you. 
          3. I rocketing toward publishing to Amazon soon. And though I know a lot of you can't afford to buy new books, I work really hard on them, and I'd like to see them reach a wider audience. And I promise to deliver them to you at a reasonable price when I make the transition. 
          
          But for now, don't worry about that. More CONTINUA is coming!

Hey Guys! Sorry for missing last week's update to CONTINUA. I got a developmental editing job for a novel, and I got so absorbed in the project that I got distracted from my own writing. I should be finishing up my first round of edits to that project soon.
