Hey everyone! I know it’s been a while. My two week vacation took a lot of out of me and I’ve been busy since. I’ve decided to take this post to update you all about what’s going on with the books I’m writing and such.<\/p>\n

As of now I’m going for my third rewrite of Subsapien Biomech<\/i> after an edit from my published author mentor. It’s going to be a lot of hard work, but I know the story is going to be better afterwards. I do have one agent interested as of now, but I’m waiting until I really polish up the manuscript until I submit it to her.<\/p>\n

I hope you all have been having a great summer. I have! I spent two weeks of it with a good friend. Rouyn-Plushie came and hung out with my friend’s two plushies. She’s a Star Wars fan. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Rouyn-Plushie is a chibi-plushie form of one of
\nmy fantasy characters a friend made me.
\nHe’s a mascot for my blog and books. \ud83d\ude09<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

For newcomers and loyal followers … I hope you all are enjoying the blog. To those who aren’t familiar with me, I’m a young adult writer who’s working through life to become an author. I’m a geek and proud, which includes being a big fan of Castle, Legend of Korra, Lord of the Rings and Marvel.<\/p>\n

I love to draw and listen to soundtrack music. ^ ^ I’m working on a science fiction and a fantasy novel right now. You can see more about those two books in the Current Projects tab, Characters tab or character interviews by looking them up in Labels on the left. To see some of my art check out the gallery. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\nAlso I’d like you all’s opinion about the blog. What are you interested in seeing more of? Writing advice? Character interviews? Book reviews? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
