January 2020 update

So I ran into some issues for the story I was hoping to get out. This is perhaps the curse of writing stories out of order in that you can be locked into certain key events happening. I have some ideas how to address them, but it's going to take some more musing.

In other news, I finished a first draft of part 1 of the bridge between Shining and SABRE. It's a bit interesting because it actually could stand as a complete story on its own. So I might have beta readers check that out while I muse on the remaining 4 parts. Considering that it might be a while before I get to those four parts, it might make sense to do that anyway.

Why? Because in addition to everything that happens in life, I'm also considering foraying into non-fiction. One is to take the letters idea from SABRE and simply publish a collection of philosophical letters. For people who prefer for the ideas to be conveyed via story, SABRE will still do that, but others might want just the philosophy without the story. Another idea is a blog series on storytelling. Similar to the philosophy letters, it'd be a series of opinions where I try to add something new to the table. I think I'll do that in my Writing Corner blog so this blog might be inactive for a while. However, I'm still somewhat active on Twitter so you can find me there.

Until next time,
