"Safe" in Editing, What Comes Next?, Entertainment Blogs

 Safe Is in the Editing Phase

My domestic drama/horror novel "Safe" is officially done and entering the editing phase!

Provided my per-chapter-editing was good enough, this means that Safe is on schedule to be complete by the end of the year.

As always plans changed about 75% of the way through the story when the characters decided they were going to be the ones who decided how the rest of the novel played out, but I couldn't be happier with how it has.

Andrew and Wrenley are without a doubt the characters I always envisioned them being and in an entertainment landscape where positive father/child relationships are either few and far between, or entirely non-existent altogether, I am happy to say that Safe is a welcome reprieve from that.

It is wholesome, loving, scary, bloody, and sweet, and tells a great story about what it means to protect someone and what it means to be not only a parent, but a child.

I think people from all walks of life will enjoy this story, and everyone will almost immediately fall in love with little Wrenley.

Can't wait to get it out to you guys.

So, What Comes Next?

With Safe complete, I was tasked with choosing which of my dozens of stories was going to be worked on next. And in one of my recent blog posts I stated that I would be working on a unique take on the slasher genre called Babyface.

But after some consideration, and a wealth of unfortunate events that made it clear that the world could use a little less horror at the moment and a little more romance and fantasy, I have instead decided to take on one of my grandest ideas, perhaps ever.

The Ascent of Mortal Heart, is my attempt at diving into the heart of what it means to write a Greek mythological epic. With heroes, romance, gods, monsters, and adventure, spanning a true monolith of a book that will be my greatest undertaking to date.

I am excited to dive into the story of Palinor the Devoted, and his journey to earn Athena's favor. I have already started the planning and research for the novel, and can't wait to combine the content and spirit of the historical and mythological Greek epics with my personal writing style.

Really looking forward to this.

Entertainment Blogs Coming Soon!

Inspired by my friend David, I have decided that starting this week I will be trying to write at least one blog a week focused on movies, tv shows, novels, video games, etc, that have inspired me or that I am at the very least interested in covering.

Expect top 10 lists, discussions on who's, what's, and why's, and indepth deep dives into what makes some movies, tv shows, books, or games, as special (or as terrible) as they are.

I hope that by writing these I not only entertain but also bring out the answers to some of my own questions that I have yet to ask myself.

Also: Speaking of Entertainment make sure to stay tuned to my YouTube channel, where you can get my Marrow Plays videos where I am currently playing through all of my favorite horror games starting with The Killing Antidote! I also plan to play Silent Hill f when it comes out as well!
