Introducing My New Blog, Upcoming Newsletter, & Projects Updates!

Hello writerly friends, and welcome to Writerly Observance! 
With moving from my old site to this new one, I have both a lot of ideas and also some tasks I still have to complete in the mean time. Such as promoting my debut short story, which I'm continuing to process on being a published author alongside all the other stuff I am doing. Like finding this blog site to already be way better than Blogger, at least right now. xD
Speaking of which, my story The Haunted Huntsman   is finally out on Apple Books and listed on Goodreads (and for those who missed the previous post from my original blog, here's the Amazon page)! And don't forget to share your thoughts on Goodreads about it and also the other stories of the Whitstead Harvestide Anthology. It's been a very supportive group of authors and writers who helped me on my debut journey, since I first discovered them via Realm Makers page on Facebook. So thus, deserve a lot of love as well!

Okay, back to my main topics. Firstly, my upcoming content!

The New Blog & How It'll Work (Mostly):
Other than the occasional odd or special post, I plan to have them released on a Wednesday like before. However, unless I get a really good spark of an idea, I won't be doing as many on writing related topics just yet. Instead, I'll be starting off with some indie book reviews (mostly of ones I've needed to catch up on awhile earlier but wasn't able to).

Upcoming Newsletter Plans:
So. This is a new avenue I've been thinking about and one that is the natural path for me to take after blogging. And one that can especially useful if I'm unable to blog regularly during some potential busy times. Starting later this month, once I've figured out a bit more with this website, will there be monthly newsletters released via email going into further detail about my writing progress, early project teaser reveals, fun extras like character/story quizzes, and much more!

​ My Fantasy Novel Third Draft In Progress:
If you've been following me for awhile, and also noticed the progress bar on my Portfolio page, you'd know that my main novel is still undergoing edits. And as for any recent update, well...it's getting there. Slowly, but surely, I think, it's getting there. Keeping myself motivated about it has certainly been a big factor into the struggle of moving further on with my current edits. Though one of its biggest causes is that, with having to expand on the ideas to come for my future sequels in this series, means I have to make sure the first one has to match up with these details in a consistent, logical way. So, much to my younger self's optimism turning to disappointment, it's taking a lot more time than I once expected it to. This includes other related projects like my story/series "Wikia" on World Anvil (mainly for my Discord server but potentially for here too), that I hoped to release its first few info pages earlier in the year, which also hasn't turned out to be the case.

But all is not entirely lost...


Other Projects:
While my main project is still in a bit of slump, I have been getting short story/novella ideas that I plan to begin or continue with in the coming months into 2022! On top of this, there is also my first YouTube video - that's also taking some time but coming along sooner than later - which I hope to release later this month or early in December. As for smaller examples like sketches, I have a to do list on what to potentially start with next - it's just picking the right one to begin with is that is my main dilemma. And for my socials and support profiles like Ko-fi and Patreon, I plan to develop some smaller merch to start for the former for you guys as well!

In the meantime, here's the link to my extended sites for any who are new here!

    Hey, everyone. I'm a writer, and so far am currently during revision of a young adult (or tween) fantasy novel, and first of a future pentalogy. This is counting also the fandom geek life (mainly via Pinterest) and laughing at memes everyone either loves or hates. Hopes nature lasts till end of time and a whole lot of other good things!
