Camp is Over...and it was Rainy

     Well, Camp NaNoWriMo 2015 is over and I didn't achieve what I had hoped to, but on the bright side I did better than I ever have in the past. On the positive side camp did ignite my writing once again and allowed me to bust through the block I had been experiencing-so that's a good thing. I'm pretty optimistic I will achieve my spring/summer writing goals. What that translates into is that I will finish my second novel and continue to contribute to Lorekeeper's Inn on a regular basis. As a side note, the stories I post in Lorekeeper's can also be found on wattpad.

     One of the contributing factors to me missing my goals for camp was the finding of a series I have really enjoyed reading. The Dragon Brigade Series by Margaret Weis and Robert Krammes  have transported me back to my high school days where I would stay up late devouring Dragonlance novels and lose myself for hours in the amazing cover art of Larry Elmore.

     I like to read a mixture of fantasy, from heroic and high fantasy to the new wave of grimdark novels. I'm a fantasy junkie that enjoys characters I can relate to with larger than life heroes and heroics that are sprinkled with a liberal dash of hulking swords and momentous battles. I have to say that now is a great time to be a reader of this absolutely wonderful genre.

Happy Reading

Camp NaNoWriMo and Everything Else

     I started this years Camp NaNoWriMo in the hope that it would help me break through some motivational issues and writer's block I have been dealing with. With a little over a week into the contest I feel like I am falling behind, and let me say that really sucks. I don't even have a good excuse; I could blame my wife babysitting but that's what headphones were invented for and that wouldn't be very nice of me. Honestly I think it's just that the weather has been so nice to be outside in, and after another hard winter I just struggle being inside.

     Good news though, I have written several more pages on my new novel and sequel to Ascent of the Holy Blade, just not as much as I would have liked to. Also, I am slowly getting the second chapter of The Unwilling Package done. I work on this during my breaks at work so it's a little slow going. To be honest I might need to change the name, it doesn't flow very well. Originally I had thought it would be a short story but I think it could turn into a novella- only time will tell.

     As far as my novel, Ascent of the Holy Blade, goes, sales are sluggish and reviews are nonexistent. If you are a fan of fun and fast paced fantasy, I really suggest you give my book a go. I won't lie to you and say it's a perfect book, but I will promise you that if you read it to the end you will enjoy the tale. To give you readers a larger taste of the book I will be releasing a few more chapters on Wattpad today.  I really hope you take the time to check it out.

      Once again, here is the link to my novel on Amazon. Ascent of the Holy Blade ebook
