Doing Photography is giving me ideas

 What am I doing?

I have been mentally thinking about the stories, but I am also working on my photography at the moment that I am relaxing into working on my book. I thought about it for a time and I was thinking about going out again for what seems like hours.

News for the Book!

 Home Sick

While I don't condone calling in sick, this time I had to, it was not a fun moment for me and I was lying there wanting to cry. I had to think of something to do, so I had a story in my head and was trying to work my way through it. The Dragon's Library side stories are becoming a world of their own at times, I have an adult side and an all-age side. The main story is for all ages, while the other is not. This is kind of a problem for some people, but others said it captures both adults and kids at the same time. 

Drama

Well...I had to block a certain person from my life because he became entirely too dependent on the messaging and when I told him was writing he would puff up and get upset. He preferred talking about superheroes and how my book will never measure up to what his ideals wanted. I didn't write the book for him, I wrote it for people who want a world outside of the norm. 

Magic System Called into Question

I was not going to make mention of this originally until the first book hit a year old, but I realized how screwed up my magic system is. I was reading through one of the D&D books at my house and was just going to be floored when I realized how badly I messed up. Well...while my fiance has claimed it isn't that bad but I need to actually write down my magic system so that I don't have to feel like I just went through the ever-present D&D books. 

This happened on its own and while I just felt it was stupid of me to just wing it, then I just figured it's my book I just need to figure it out. I am documenting more on the magic system of other books, but for some reason, the closest I have come to was Heralds of Valdemar by Mercedes Lackey. I am not certainly not going to copy her on that, it would be rude. So I am going to try and follow the books that were printed from D&D and then try from there. 

I just can't believe I did that!

News of the Day! Story Progress to Start!

 Story News!

Cover Art for Daku Con 2021

The artwork will be selected later and will be exclusive to the convention. I have yet to decide and I am working on the pictures of Thadeous and Quil'recca who are the two that I doing artwork exclusive for the con. I am thinking that I will premiere their side story there. Honestly books 1 and 2 of the main story are going to be sold in a bundle set. The side stories which are way more adult are going to be sold seperate and will be for the audiences at the con. 

The Work from the Book Delayed

What I do on my Days Off

While I was walking in the park I had to deal with a lot on my mind and one was the fires, I had to think about having breathing problems. The Fires just made this year to be much more difficult. 

The Book Delayed Due to...well....I'm tired

I didn't understand exactly what I was thinking, but here is the truth from the dragon's mouth, I work and then I want to FALL ASLEEP! I am riding a bus and I nearly fall asleep and nearly miss bus stop. I am walking back to my house in the dark and I am trying to take pictures at the same time. 

Here are some shots I took for fun

Inspiration from Walking Around a Park

 I haven't exactly been talking about this, but some of the ideas of the world that End Brook reminds me of the parks I have been walking through, some are nice to visit, others right now are dry as hell. I have been saddened by that and I have wanted to walk around more parks in my state to get an idea of what I am looking for. 

All these places I am hoping to find more work on the story since I have found some great story telling. I am still waiting for the rest of the cast of the story to see where I can find more beautiful work that is the land of No Magic. 

If you Gaslight me

Drama Llama 

Being called a liar about my work on my book is kind of annoying. I spent the entire month of recovery trying to be ready to work and write my book. I was pissed off that my friend doubted a lot of what I have done in my life. He actually called to question who I have met, my mother had to come to my rescue and I was upset as hell. 

If he thinks I lied about the stuff I have done, I have worked too hard to get where I am going. I don't believe it wrong to tell my fiance and family what is going on.

New Book Information

So the short stories are going as planned and the second book is in full swing, I have not progressed with the artwork for the book, but I will soon. I was annoyed that I was distracted by being operated on. I was upset about that and life seems to always seem to crap on my birthday too. So I decided I don't want to celebrate and just read a book or just stay inside and hide from the world. 

I also started to find new ways to work. 

Author Birthday Woes

I am not happy about my birthday this year, then again, I never get to celebrate my birthday the way I used to and people like to also rub it in that I have never had a Happy Birthday in years. Every year it gets worse and worse and people seem to take great joy in saying the greeting, but honestly, I'm just going to mention that I feel like my birthday will always be ruined.
