September 7th, 2026 Update
Another terrible week, and by terrible, I wrote the 6k par. My arm is still hurting and sleep is elusive, though it does feel like it's slowly getting better. There's really not much else to say for the week. Thankfully, a terrible week is still my old Par. Beyond that I got the coverart for moonshadwo and I'm super happy with how it turned out. I still need to see how it'll work with hardcovers/paperbacks, but I'm optimistic. Moonshadow is up to 84k.

Very short update this week. I didn't have a great week. Between my arm still hurting and that interfering with sleep, I lost two days of writing, though one of those was spent editing based on notes from my beta. That said, I hit 6k words written, which is my minimum for the week, taking the book up to 78k. Beyond that, I got the first few sketches of Moonshadow's coverart. It's looking good so far, and I'm excited to see the artist flesh it out.

Another average week really. I got 7500 words in, bringing Moonshadow to 72k. I suffered from the usual tuesday curse, but otherwise hit my 1500 stretch goal the rest of the week. It's coming along nicely, but I'm still not sure how long it's going to be. I have decided to push some content to the next book so I can get all the stuff I want in, but I think it'll make the end of the book more impactful and set up book three nicely. At the same time, it will let me give certain

Simple update this week. It wasn't the bast week, but better than last week. Moonshadow is up to 64,500 words. Less than I would have liked, but not complaining. Otherwise, the only thing to report is that I approved the cover art for Elite Ascent's Audiobook and Podium told me they're looking for a late September release. I had already guessed that, but it was just me guessing. Now we're just waiting for Podium to submit it and get an official date. Otherwise, nothing else t

Somehow, despite basically not writing for three days this week due to Wednesday (My monday) tiredness and my body giving me issues between a toothache and a sore shoulder, I managed 7k words. Not what I would have liked, but I'll take it considering how crappy this week was. To compound my issues, I was halfway through chapter fifteen and realized I was breaking one of my own rules. To be fair, I didn't intend the starting part to be as long, but it turned out I was trying t

Not much to say this week. Moonshadow is up to 50k words. I didn't get as much done as I would have liked this week, but I hit my main goal and wrote more than six thousand words, so I'll take it. I don't know how long Moonshadow is going to be at this point. I'm contemplating shifting some ideas and content to the next book, but those subplots and ideas were free to move around as I need. Wordwise I'm at two thirds to halfway, but it doesn't feel like it. There's so much I w

Good afternoon! Sadly, this week's progress was not what I'd hoped at all. Moonshadow is only at 35,500 words, meaning I didn't even reach par for the week, so over the last two weeks I've gotten very little done. That said, my vacation is up, so this week should be back to normal. I might try to push to make up for the last two weeks a bit, but I don't want to burn myself out either. I'm feeling relaxed, so the vacation was very much needed. Other than that, I have a piece o

Umm... uhh... Hi! So... update. There isn't one. Apparently, I really needed the vacation. I've done practically nothing this week but sit at home and play video games. There was all the release day stuff, but beyond that, not much at all. So Moonshadow is sitting exactly where it was a week ago. In other news, Lost Mask is being picked up for audio. I just handed over the last of the files they need today and I'm hoping to have Tess Irondale narrate again, but right now that

Tomorrow is release day. Both Lost Mask and the Elite Born Audiobook are releasing. I'm so excited, especially since I just got the preorder link for Reborn Elite, meaning I can promote all three at the same time!!!! This makes my life so much easier, and I'm excited about tomorrow. Here's the preorder Link! https://www.audible.com/pd/Reborn-Elite-Audiobook/B0H7HPXT6Y In other news, Moonshadow is up to to 31k. I had a great week, only one slow day, which I almost made up for

I'm a bit late in making this. Thankfully, I didn't forget. I had trouble getting to sleep this morning, so I'm getting a late start. So, I'm going to make this short. I missed a day of writing and had a short day Saturday night due to having to do background work on sheets and the like. It's been a while since I had to do that, lol. Despite that, I wrote 2k on monday and hit 1.5k the rest of the days so I still managed to get out 7.5k words this week. Still not 9k and defini

Not much to say this week. It was honestly a pretty terrible week for writing. But fear not! I still managed to write nearly 7k words, so despite being terrible, it was still productive. I need a vacation. I just didn't have any motivation to do anything while at work. Thankfully, I have two weeks coming up. Moonshadow is up to 15k words, which puts me in this odd position of being 3k behind where I'd like to be and 3k ahead of par, but that's where I'm at. Otherwise there is

The week was fairly uneventful and productive. I did have one bad day, but even then I reached my standard par range, and most days I hit my stretch goals. I wanted to have a perfect week and hit my full stretch goal, and finish three chapters, but fell a little short of that. So yeah, Moonshadow (tentative name) is at 8.3K as of this time with 2 finished chapters. I'll likely finish the third one today. My goal for the week is to fully hit my stretch goal of 9k, and possibly

This week's update is fairly short. The Preorder for Lost Mask and Elite Born are both fully live. I got the MP3's for Elite Born and my biggest fear didn't come to pass, so I'm happy. I haven't listened to it, but I'm going to try to listen through before the release date. Beyond that, nothing much to report. I got an outline ready and I'm going go start writing RotBMW 2 today. Do I have a title yet? Nope! That's the first hurdle, and even then it's going to be tentative. So

Lost Mask Preorder Live & June 1rst 2026 Update
As the title says, I uploaded Lost Mask last night, and it's fully live on Amazon. You can find it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H3JJVLC7 Releases 07/07/2026 I'm so happy to be done with it and moving on. I felt like I could have written it faster. Between that and the sheer length, I've been working on this for six months now. I was hoping to get three books out this year. I'll be lucky if I can get two at this point. I'm still proud of it and eager to see its reception

I'm slipping. I realized last week, just after I posted the update, that I forgot to do my post the previous week, and I'm a day late. Honestly, not much to tell. I'm deep into the editing process. I've finished the second pass and am working through the final read-through. I plan to finish this week and upload on Monday. I've sent out a feeler already to Podium for Lost Mask's Audiobook and am waiting to hear back. Elite Born's audiobook will be submitted this week with the

Gonna get this out of the way early. Not too much to report this week. I had a bit of a disaster week and had a couple of days where I barely got anything done. Despite that, I finished the first pass of Lost Mask. The next pass might take longer. ProWritingAid has a lot more tools and reports I can play with, so I'll see what I can get out of those. I want to be done by the end of the month and hope to finish the next pass, but this pass is also the most tedious. So we'll se

The pre-order for Moonrise Audiobook is live and you can find it here. Beyond that, I got a good deal of writing done. Lost mask is up to 149,500 words. I'm almost done with chapter 44, and chapter 45 will be the last chapter. I'm not sure how long that chapter will be, but either way, the book wi
