Where Are We? - February 2025

Writing

This month continues progress on refining the sequel and I’ve taken to jumping around the manuscript sharpening different pieces as they come to mind which is great for the story as a whole but not so for the sense of progression. I have made a start on the cover and relayed my wishes onto the artist with my own chaotic scribbles that she’ll translate into something much better. When I do reveal the cover (likely next year) I’ll show you the two beside each other so you can marvel at both masterpieces.

Life

This month I finally read Arthas: Rise of the Lich King By Christie Golden, which warmed my soul with memories of playing World of Warcraft and smiling as I remembered the characters, places and legendary weapons (that never dropped for me). I’ve set a rule where I switch between fantasy and (non-fantasy) fiction for a bit of variety so the next one might be a murder mystery from a local author.

We finished Space Marine II and now I’m moving onto Dragon Age: The Veilguard against better judgement. I’ll pick up Monster Hunter Wilds after a few months of patches have ironed out the performance issues…
