The idea I had for a new book wasn’t really gonna work out as a whole book, so I started working on one I’d abandoned previously, and perhaps some elements of that idea I had will make their way into this book. The reason I abandoned this one was because I started writing it, just to see if an idea would come to me while I was writing, and it did, but it wasn’t a complete thought, and still isn’t. In the absence of any other good ideas though, I figured I might as well give this one another try. Just getting through the first chapter though was tedious at best. See, I have a specific word count minimum for each chapter in each of my books, but for some reason, it felt like the more I wrote in this one, the slower the word count added up, which is frustrating at best when you still don’t have a complete idea of where you’re going with it. I mean, I do have some thoughts, but nothing detailed.
The funny part is, I never really know what I’m going to write in any of my books. I just start writing, and it all comes out as it should. Hopefully, I’ll hit a point in the second chapter that’ll lead me down that path. We’ll see what happens.
Anyway, that’s it for now. Lots of adulting and the election and some other stuff I’ve had to deal with kept me away from writing for a while, but now I’m trying to get back into the flow of things again.
Audio books…
The Accidental Hero and Cindy’s Story are now available as AI generated audio books on Amazon and Audible. The previews sounded surprisingly good. I chose a male voice for The Accidental Hero, and a female voice for Cindy’s Story. I probably won’t make audio books of the Unseen Things Series, because despite how good the AI is, I have lots of weird, made up names in those books that it probably couldn’t handle, and it would be a nightmare trying to go through each one fixing names like “zethichtalarin”.
