Hope everything is ok. Remember, dust your shoulders off and keep moving, regardless of the situation.
Dont give up now when you are this far into it.Battle on!
Writing is never a cut and draw process. It is constantly evolving, and if you need to walk away from it for awhile that ok too.
Thanks for the responses everyone. I really appreciate it.
Sigh
Lately I’ve been in a funk. And that has been affecting my writing.
So I’m going to have to take a break from it.
But I want to keep writing… SOMETHING. Because it’s productive and my hobby.
So while taking a break from my novel… I might start a new story. Something, not as long and complicated as The Warrior of Elysium, but still something that packs a punch.
I have framework done on the characters, setting, and half of the plot.
I shall see what I can show you guys soon.
The name of this project?
Clayton Zalabos & The Living Calamity.
That’s all I can say for right now.
I just have to follow my heart.

Always be on the look out for new material. Inspiration can come from pretty much anything: a game, a movie, music, a landscape, even your random doodles can take on a life of its own, and even more satisfying is when those doodles can be assimilated into your first project.

Perfect. Time manipulation is a treasure trove of material. The use of talismans, artifacts, relics, rituals, and sorcery are endless.

She became an extremely successful bounty hunter. After defeating so many dangerous foes, she angered an evil known as Ario the Collector, who wanted her hide on his wall. Ocelot knew she couldn’t defeat this man on her own. So She tried returning to the Amazon castle but it was burned to ashes nine months after she left. Ocelot was taken by Ario’s bandits and was humiliated and branded as Ario’s property. Fortunately, she was rescued right before she was skinned. Ario was reported to be killed in action but no trace was found. Ocelot wonders if he had survived and if he would still be after her…
