A writer is someone who has taught his mind to misbehave.” – Oscar Wilde
Yes, indeed, that is a fact. Being a writer has allowed me to forgo the rules, break from the norms, and challenge the minds. In this day and age, it’s practically a requirement. A writer must be able to understand the rules of life to represent it in their writing. More importantly, they must understand life’s rules to point out societal problems.
“You know what I did after I wrote my first novel? I shut up and wrote twenty-three more.” – Michael Connelly
I just spent the last two months ending two stories: the first book of my crimeverse and my Gay Village Story. The Gay Village Story is something I just came up with. Well…I wrote the story a long time ago when I was living in Philadelphia. It was only this month that I actually got a chance to edit and – let’s just say – Ernest Hemingway would be very proud of me. Haha!
I think this coming month, I’m not editing anything else. Just writing and planning for me. which I am more than okay with. I do need to lay out the comic series, the next installment of the Gay Village Story, and complete the outlines for the Yellow & Orange storyline of my Crimeverse. Also, I, of course, need to work on my graduation project for my Master’s.
However, for this week, I’m doing the bare minimum. Updating a few documents while doing some outlining here and there. I think I deserve some R&R, right?
Please don’t forget to follow me on my social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Goodreads) on my web page’s right side. Also, I love hearing suggestions of what books to read outside of my norm (Science fiction and Fantasy) as I am a part of the Goodreads’ reading challenge for 2024. For this year, my goal is 150, and I’m already at 83 (55%). Given that I’m in school and teaching English, I will blast through this challenge.
