Nice. Wrap the whole thing up with a pretty bow. No loose ends and everyone pays for it lol

Oh wow.
That…I don’t know how to feel about that.
I mean it would suck, but at the same time it might make sense plot wise.

Forgive me, I am rambling nonsense.

Definitely! If something’s not working, change it until it does. Maybe add a new character or new situation…? ( ˆ◡ˆ)۶ ٩(˘◡˘ )

Yeah, maybe I need something simple to write tbh. Its about getting out 50,000 words not finishing a novel. Thats the main aim.

I think I need to be a bit realistic in my writing. I need to actually focus on 1 to three novels instead of four or five.

Because in all honesty, trying to attempt to do four or five novels is crazy to me personally. Yeah, there are options, but am I going to finish all of those options.

So, I can either choose from three options or attempt to do all three somehow.

I know that I have to make my story flow on its own, but I think these three stories should be lengthy standalone novels. I am not ready to do a book series for each of the three novels. I rather get a feel and enjoyment out of it without making it too long.

If I come to a point where I want to do a book series for one or two of the three novels, then sure why not, but until then the three novels are going to be a standalone until I change my mind.

Realistically, I can only do one or two and maybe try to attempt doing three. So, no longer am I going to do four or five novels like some crazed writer who knows that is too much on their plate.

So, I am going to focus mainly on three novels only. No more than that because I can’t handle that many novels when I know myself too well.

So, I have options.

Side Note: I am going to take writing seriously while enjoying the fun. So, for the sake of getting better at the craft. I am going to do some picture prompts of some of the pictures that I have on my Pinterest board.

So, three novels taking my focus and me also practicing the get a handle on the craft during downtime.

Here are my three novels:

Heretic Renna: The Red Ghost.
Mage Lord: Rebirth.
The House of Steelcrest (?).

I am talking too much. LOL!
Nothing else to report.

I have a problem that I might need help with.

I have books that I am not reading and thinking about it I’ve wasted money on those books that I can read through audio (well, some of them).

The rest are writing craft books that I barely read and just skim through. Mainly because I hate reading and rather do my own thing.

I mean I can try reading the physical copies, but I would much rather listen to the book through audio.

So, what do I do with some of them? Donate to a library? What if that library doesn’t accept them or something? Drive to a location to donate them? I know I have no one to take me or the simple fact that I don’t drive. Sell them online or through some app? I don’t really feel like doing that.

What are your thoughts?

You don’t have a secondhand bookstore nearby?

Hell no…

Places like that are far out of my reach.

I decided to keep some books, but the rest are being placed somewhere I can’t see.
