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. 

Who inspired me....Kenji Miyazawa

While I speak highly of this author, he died before I was even born, I found his work in 2003 and didn't think much on it until 2005 when I did a report on his affects on Japanese youth and literature. Most Anime is actually referencing his works in some episodes which shows the history that the artist or story teller has for the writer. 

Kenji Miyazawa was born in Hanamaki Prefecture of Japan right in the Kanto region 1896 and died in 1933. While much of his works were not really discovered until AFTER his death, much of the translations and also his works went on further due to his works. His books were translated into many different languages and while I was still in college I was reading his works and poems in English. For me it was like giving me a Bible. To me he was my savior of sorts as it taught me that humanity is not as Christians would have it. 

As I sat down to write my own stories, I found myself referencing the Night on the Galactic Railroad and its many translations that I have found and the train's movement in demensional travel. I found myself insprired and worked on the story still. I never once thought I would have to write an entire entry on here about how I loved the works of this author and his stories. 

While I edit

World Events

I was sitting through editing yesterday and was ignoring the news as best I could. The truth is that no matter how much I work and try to ignore the problems of the world, it leaks in. I was hoping to be done with the side Story and get it ready for final drafting onto a computer. 

I have thought about just stating this coldly that unless someone is from my inner circle of friends knock it off. I know we have so much going on and I feel like even if I speak up I am going to be called a Snowflake anyway. 

New Character Concept

While I was writing, I came up with a concept for the Fae, it was something I considered before, and it is something that will be brought up as we get to book 2 and also move toward the newest book title announcement. 

Fantasy in my thoughts has a lot less limits than I consider. I also don't like following rules that were set up by people who just don't want me to have my fun, In all joking aside I have to consider the fact there is more to writing than what others want. 

The Digital Art Thoughts

When I was asked why I wasn't working an iPad, the comment I made was, I can't afford one. I would love to have the ability to make a digital piece of artwork, but again, I can't afford it nor do I have the time to transfer the artwork. The more I thought about it I couldn't give my heart to say much of anything other than "I'm a broke person!" 

I have talked about artwork and writing, I have thought hard about what kind of work I need to do to make the books sell. The truth is I am still tired and recovering from surgery. I spent the time regretting losing my other pad that was supposed to be working with that. I was just shocked when it shorted out on me. 

So will I have the goal get one, yeah, but will it be a Surface, maybe not. 

The Book News

The Side Stories of The Planor

The news is here and ready to go, it will be going to be editing and also working with other peers on what the story will be about. I will be working with a new writing group on Discord, I will be discussing privately about what artwork will be involved.

I am not going to bring up the books that I am working on:

1. Book 2 (2021, title to be announced in January, preorders will be open in March)

2. The Side Stories of the Planor (2021, physical copies will be accessed at Daku Con)

3. The Craiglist Ad Series (TBA) 

Adult Material

The Side Stories of the Planor is actually NOT FOR KIDS! Unlike book 1 and book 2, which are for kids and doesn't have sexual situations. 

There will be two different series I am working on within the Dragon's Library series, there is going to be for adults and those for teens. I am not going to change that for anyone really, this is just my thing.

Artwork

The new artwork will be moved onto Zazzle for posters and Redbubble for everything else. If you want to chnage that I will be ordering stickers for Daku Con and I will also be ordering books for that time. I am also going to start looking at what we can do slowly for 2021 for the new merch.

Daku Con 2021 Panels

Writing panel and world building will be done with myself, my exboyfriend and my fiance on how to make better worlds. This will be tentative and I will make an official announcment on here when it is ready to go..

The other panels will be:

Writing Your World: Let's make it easy to write a world

Ralph Bajkshi: Who the Hell is this Guy

Let Me Clue You In: How to Host a Murder Daku Con Edition

So much to say and I'm recovering

Yeah, I'm recovering from surgery from back in July 6th, I was reading through what I was doing in the last few weeks. I had to update my Redbubble, which I swear is just a silly thing because no one will buy anything from me because I am not a digital artist. 

Though I finished the side story for Thadious and Quil'recca last night and was starting on the editing routine so that I can prepare to add it to the side stories. It is more of an introduction to the first book, which is a different view of the world entirely with an adult fashion mix. 

 I am going to be working with a few other characters and also hopefully get Book 2 finished soon, though I am dragging this out a bit much right now. I feel like a total idiot when it comes with the media right now and I am thinking of just trying to finish my book and then worry about everything later. 

The truth I was waiting for that moment when I have to stand before some people and start making sure that I have all the books finished. I am also going to worry over what people will think that I have just made an adult book on top of the fact the Planor is a mix of adult and young adult fiction.
