It's been a while since I've updated the website and I wanted to make a blog post first. Writing on my first novel has been put on hiatus for the time being. I was away for a while and the downtime really sapped my inspirations for a while. I'm slowly getting back into it, so don't worry. I'm not going to give up on writing all together, I'm just taking my time getting back to it. Right now, I'm actually taking a really long look at my current writing project and bringing some fresh questions and ideas to it to see if I need to change course on it. I'm not on a publishing time frame so I can really take my time at this, although I don't want to spend years and years trying to get it done. This deep look at the current material is to see whether I've ventured too far off the path of what I've wanted to tell. I think I can tell you this, the current material is based upon true life events of mine. Things that I went through some 20 years ago while being a "goth" inspired me to start this story. Somewhere in there I think I got a bit too far off the path and I want to correct it now before I get the whole story written and go to publish it and feel really silly about a story that had too much stuff that just didn't belong in it. So, with that said, I'm looking at it really hard. There may be some plot changes to realign it with what really happened. I mean, I want it to stay in the realm of reality as much as possible and I think some of the elements took it too far into the fantasy area. Maybe it would work, but I don't think that's the story I want to tell. And I have to say that the website needs to be revamped. Damn, I wish I could find an interior decor
