Volume 2 is probably my least good one of out the four drafts I’ve written up. I don’t want to be too negative about something I made myself, but I feel like it lacks a proper throughline and doesn’t really do much. It’s kind of like the second book in a trilogy where not much … Continue reading The Hesitant Hero Volume 2 Recap

The Hesitant Hero Volume 1 – Recap
Although the Hesitant Hero was originally a side project while I tried to figure out some of the plot points of my main story, it quickly developed into the biggest writing project I’ve ever attempted.

A Quick NaNoWriMo Recap
It’s December. How the time flies. And yet at the same time it moves ever so slowly. I’ll stop trying to be deep, November kind of sucked. I tend to get overworked around this time of the year which is why I’m thinking that this might be my last NaNoWriMo for a while. Let me … Continue reading A Quick NaNoWriMo Recap

AI and writing stories
If you’re like me and you love what you do, then you probably never even considered using AI for writing stories. Well, apparently that’s not the case for everyone. There was a controversy a little while ago surrounding a statement that NaNoWriMo made about AI. Apparently they thought it was a good idea to call … Continue reading AI and writing stories
The Hesitant Hero Volume 1 Update
We are very close to November 2024 right now and if I can be fully honest with you, I wish I was far further along with my final draft of the first volume. I set myself a deadline of late July, which I changed to late September which I then changed to this year. I … Continue reading The Hesitant Hero Volume 1 Update

Hello friends. Another year, another volume of the Hesitant Hero. When I started writing my very first draft for volume 1 of this story, all the way back in November of 2021, I had no idea I would ever get to this point. I had tried a couple of very different approaches to this story … Continue reading Hesitant Hero – Afterword

Chapter 32 – Epilogue
“Are you sure you’re fully packed?” Salandra hugged Cobal one more time as they were standing on the little road leading out of Marsolin towards the rest of the kingdom. He smiled. “I’m certain I have everything, you’ve asked four times already.”She smiled back. “I’ll miss you.”“I’ll miss you too.” After spending a couple of … Continue reading Chapter 32 – Epilogue
