I was fairly active right before the Covid-19 outbreak swept the planet. I’ve also been mostly in isolation during this time. The stress of it all however killed my writing effort. To the point where not only did I not want to write anymore, I also neglected my business as a whole. Instead of getting a massive word count, which…
Last weekend, I attended Ironfest 2019 for the 2nd time. Last year, was my first time running a book-stall ever. A little has changed in that year. I currently have two books published, instead of just the one. Instead of just having a table inside the ballroom hall, I now have my own stall tent and was outside. I can…
So yesterday, I saw a very rough draft of the Gorp 3 novel book cover, “Gorp: Defender of the Realm”. It’s by the same artist who has done the previous two and it looks amazing! Of course, with any work of art and interpretation, there were changes to be made, modifications, and things that need to be added. But the…
Every Gorp the Goblin novel was written during a NaNoWriMo, Book 1 was in 2010, years later I finally published it. Book 2 was written in 2017, but it wasn’t finished until November 1st, at 12:01 am. The start of NaNoWriMo 2018! I decided to write the 3rd and final book this year. Only problem was, I still had to…

Below is the link to that with some great questions asked. Reddit’s…
(Two small creatures that appear on the back of the “Gorp: Goblin Janitor” new book cover.) It’s been awhile now since I posted anything, but as of tonight I am finally finished with the edit and revision of my first novel “Gorp: Goblin Janitor (Book I)”. I still need to finished up a few details on the updated maps for…
Last night with 50384 words, I crossed the 2017 NaNoWriMo Winners line by going over the 50k word count. However, “Gorp 2: Dungeon Overlord” is proving to be a much longer novel than the first one “Gorp: Goblin Janitor“. In this continuation of the series, we see a lot more of The Kingdom as it is called, from Hallstorm in…
So…I’ve decided to use this month’s NaNoWriMo 2017 to write the 2nd book in my Gorp the Goblin series. Originally, I wrote the first Gorp book back in NaNoWriMo 2010 in 30 days. This year I hope to do the same for book 2, but I will not wait 6 years to sit on it and edit the book. I…
Today, while researching topics on self-publish promoting, I came across a sub-genre I’d not heard of before “LitRPG”, short for Literature Role Playing Game, is a literary genre based on combining all the key components of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels. Currently, I have a 2nd book in the Gorp series and a new Game Book / Choose Your Own…
