Continuing from my previous post back on the 6th, I want to reveal more information about myself before the release of my first short story. I have to say this is quite entertaining.
Let’s continue from yesterday’s post as you get to know me better. This is actually quite fun.
So, as we draw closer to the release of the first short story of the Short Story Project, I thought it would be fun to divulge some fun fact about yours truly. I have forty of these so I’m breaking it up into four posts. I hope you like it.
I have to say…Phase Two is going pretty smooth. Much smoother than Phase One, let me tell you. However, I wanted to tell you that everybody is already well aware of my path of my Short Story project so I’m not going to talk about it anymore until the first story is released. Besides, I do have other projects that I’m working on now that I got my short stories written.

This past month has been quite the rollercoaster. For starters, I finished all my short stories and t got them all typed up and ready to be edited. But that only made the next steps that much more crazy because, now, I’m on Phase Two which works back and forth with Phase Three. And, even funnier, that’s not the only thing that I have to endure.
I am so proud and excited to announce the grand opening of a new podcast that my good friend, Brett Walker, has released to the public.
I’m two stories away from completing the drafts of the 45 short stories. I still have to type them all up before declaring Phase 1 being complete. Nonetheless, I know what’s going to be happen for me is going to be similar to that of a wicked whirlwind. But, right now, I’m just staring into the eye of the hurricane with a smile on my face. I can’t wait to take it on.
My brother and I have been talking about my writing and compared me to a particular unsung Founding Father. I found it flattering but inaccurate. See, contrary to his popular belief of me, I do take breaks, especially after my mental exhaustion. But, he did make one thing clear. I do, in fact, work like I’m “running out of time”.
I have been working nonstop for the last two months – both as a teacher and a writer. I’m on SS #37 as I write this blog post and I’ve worked a grand total of 126 hours last month with the promised heads up that I would be scheduled for more. I didn’t realize until later on that I was suffering mental fatigue. It wasn’t a good feeling.
Rather I’m meeting myself halfway. I took an extended break from my Short Stories Project because I managed to write twenty-two short stories before the beginning of May. Plus, I have been neglecting the other projects that I was working on. So, I took the first full and half week of May paying catchup. Now, I’m back to work on my Short Stories Project with a few updates on everything – both in and outside my life.
