Hello Everyone!
Bit of a shorter update today as July was rather busy. I was participating in the Art Fight event and spent a lot of time refining and improving my own art process. That being said, I did also spend some time brainstorming and creating an outline for Book 4 of The Legend of Nariko series, however there’s been a few plot points that have logical inconsistencies to balance with the human emotion of the characters. It’s always a difficult thing to consider as I want to make sure it feels natural and not forced. I’ve also created an outline for the manga series I’m writing, Kaguya: The Wayfarer Chronicles. At this point, it looks like it’ll be four volumes but I’m still studying how pacing works in manga to make sure the story flows well.
While I’ve been working on these, unfortunately my science fiction novel is taking a bit of a backseat as I work on my main series and this manga series. I’m still learning how to balance all of the things I want to do and part of that has been recognizing what I can do and what I can’t do all at the same time. Ideally I can write both novels and work on the manga at the same time, but I recognize I might be biting off more than I can chew and I need to be careful how I approach this.
Thanks for sticking around and hope your summer’s going well!

Waw! I’m envious but not willing to shift into your bold pace in writing. I barely can produce ONE polished print book in ONE year…I’ve always been a single track writer. As my update: I’m sitting pretty in the 5-thousand word of my draft; Adventures of a robust retired man going Vlogging in Iceland as he chases Indiana Jones type maps for treasures. Now picking up speed inspired by my own volcano trek last week. Wish me good luck
Good luck!!
