I’ve been thinking about writing this blog post for a long time now, but recent events have crystallized my thoughts on the matter. It’s time I confess this TERRIBLE SECRET. This secret that I’ve kept ever since I debut as an author over a year ago. A secret that will change EVERYTHING. I hope byContinue reading “Confessing My Deepest Author Secret”

For the second in this most likely 2-part series, this blog post is going to be covering how I think about artwork in regards to the Restart Again series. I admit that saying “My Philosophy” is a bit dramatic; this will most likely end up as a relatively short ramble about my commissioning process, butContinue reading “My Philosophy on Artwork”

As the title implies, the official audiobook adaptation of Volume 2 has been released! You can pick it up on Amazon, Audible, Scribd, and any other audiobook website you use (it’s not exclusive to Amazon, so I’m sure you can find it wherever you’d like). I worked with the same company to produce this volumeContinue reading “Restart Again: Volume 2 Audiobook is Out Now!”

It’s certainly been a long time coming, but as of today, the rough draft for Restart Again: Volume 3 is officially completed. With a final count of 175,656 words, it is by far the longest thing I’ve ever written. That count puts it over double the length of Volume 1, and a huge increase overContinue reading “Volume 3 Rough Draft Complete!”

Sort of a weird topic for a random blog post, don’t you think? I claim loudly and often that I am not a professional author, so obviously, any sort of rambling advice I could give on the subject of writing should be taken with a shovelful of salt. Even so, I’ve been thinking about thisContinue reading “My Philosophy on First Drafts”

Hard to believe 2020 is a year that can end: It’s been one hell of a year! Technically, it’s not over yet, and I’m entirely ready for one final M. Night twist to hit us before the clock strikes midnight. Even so, it’s also been a great year in other respects, so I wanted toContinue reading “A Year in Review: 2020”

We’re starting this one off differently, with the progress report right at the top! As of today (03DEC2020), Volume 3 is now officially longer than Volume 2. The published version of Volume 2 sat right under 119,000 words, and my rough draft of Volume 3 is now over 121,000 words, with plenty left to go!Continue reading “The Hardest Chapter to Write”

It’s a bit odd to sit down at my computer with the intention of writing a blog post, only to find myself staring at the blank page debating on how I should start it. I often find myself in a similar situation when I’m working on the main series; I’ll get stuck on a certainContinue reading “Reflecting on the Release of Volume 2”

I’m writing this post at 12:08AM on Sunday, November 1st. As of 8 minutes ago, Restart Again: Volume 2 is available for purchase on Amazon as both a paperback and an eBook! I’ve only realized now that staying up for the release was a bit of a gamble: Not only is Amazon based in aContinue reading “Volume 2 is Officially Released!”

I’ve been waiting to type out that title for a long time. The day has finally come! Preorders for the eBook version of Restart Again Volume 2 have gone live on Amazon as of today, which you can find right here! I’ve never done a prerelease on Amazon before, so I’m pretty excited to seeContinue reading “Restart Again Volume 2 Releases November 1st! Digital Preorders Live Now!”
