Happy new year! I hope you all had a good time over the holidays. I had my little brother with me. It was awesome, but hard to keep up on my writing while watching the little 8 years old.

This years is going to be a big one for me. I’m hoping to publish 3 books, but realistically I will be happy if I complete one that is written and well received.

I have spent the better part of the year world building. Presently I have a detailed world with it’s own history, cultures, settlements and landmarks.

The tricky part now is to weave multiple strong stories together. I have been watching a ton of videos on writing stories and have come to understand it is not an easy task.

I’ve come to understand there are two main forms of writing. Discovery and outlined. They both have their strengths and weaknesses and a healthy balance of the two is how some of the best books I’ve read/listened to were wrote.

If your interested in writing your own book Brandon Sanderson has a very helpful corse on writing that can be found on youtube. Here it is.
