First things first, Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and a safe Black Friday. I won’t be participating in either holiday because I desperately want some alone time from the world. That, and I don’t like shopping on Black Friday; I prefer Cyber Monday since I don’t have to do a lot of physical store hopping. However, I won’t be participating in that, either. So, move on…

November is starting to be a wickedly splendid whirlwind of projects and stories that need, or will, require my attention. A small portion of my friends are asking for my assistance on their projects and it leaves me in very concerning position. It’s not that I don’t want to help them, it’s that I want to dive into another project with someone that doesn’t share the same level of ambition as me. Some of them I would be willing to do in a heartbeat but others I’m not too sure about. I’m going to have to pray on it and ask the Lord to bestow on me the wisdom to choose properly.
Settling into Ohio is still a new concept for me. I mean, I’ve lived in Philadelphia for most of my life. Never knew own of anything else outside of the tristate area except for the occasional convention traveling and tournament hosting. So, Ohio is going to take a little of getting used to for me.
Post-con depression is a harsh and reoccurring mental condition where reality set in after the end of the convention. The more enjoyable the con, the harsher the condition become; it’s very real and it happens to practically everyone. And let me tell you: Post-con depression hit me really hard after NYCC.
It’s beautiful how helpful people become when you’re venturing into my writing career. All week I have been given so many advice and suggestions about how to proceed with my path. Rather it’s advice about marketing and promoting or just general story ideas, I have been blessed to hear so many people who are willing to give their wisdom and knowledge.
This week has been pretty crazed with talking about my book’s (Dimensions: The College Years) release to various entities and individuals. Combined that with the overwhelming support and love from my family and friends, you could imagine how lifted my heart became in such a short period of time. Though the book is growing at a steady rate for an amateur author, I should admit something: I’m not particularly satisfied with the stats of the first installment in the Dimensions series.
So, my first book (Dimensions: The College Years) was released to the public via Amazon. The process took nearly eight months to complete due to a wide variety of reasons but, nonetheless, I am overwhelmed with pride and joy that I have finally had a completed project under my belt thus effectively beginning my career path of a writer. Or the author, whichever one you prefer to use.
