Last week my wife and I moved to a new residence on Saipan. And I gotta say, I am loving the change. We went from a small, dark apartment surrounded by concrete to a small, naturally lit apartment up on the hills of Saipan. Now we’re surrounded by nature, and there’s a beautiful breeze most days.
There’s a great little balcony which is shrouded in shade in the afternoons; a perfect place to to sit and write. This is the reason I opted for a laptop over a desktop PC. I wanted the option to sit out in nature and soak in the beauty of God’s creation as I work.
I took most of last week off to move and spend time with Brittany, as she was on spring break. Now I’m back to work. Got a list of goals, and an even longer list of milestones to make, but I’m super excited. It’s been a long time since I’ve been this motivated and driven. I love it.
The last couple of weeks I’ve had the opportunity to spend some time watching lectures by an author who is quickly becoming a favourite, Brandon Sanderson. Between his lectures and the editing wisdom of C. S. Lakin over at Live Write Thrive, it’s been an intense time of study. However, my understanding of the art of writing has grown tenfold.
If heroic/sword and sorcery fantasy excites you, then I’ve got a treat for you. Follow me on here to keep up to date with my new project. The best bit? It’ll be free. 😉
