I’m progressing on EDEN-1 again after a couple of months’ worth of writer’s block. All credit goes to John Wick 3: Parabellum. Seriously. Two plus hours of mindless violence did wonders for my thought process. Honestly? It’s a better franchise than people realize. Wick is a deep, well-crafted character, and Keanu Reeves brings him to life with a quiet sense of menace that I can only hope to bring out in Kerry Sheridan.<\/p>\n

And yeah, the body count is pretty awesome.<\/p>\n

So — SPOILER ALERT — I know how EDEN-1 ends. Unless the characters tell me something different — it ends in a fourth book.<\/p>\n

I’m taking Dan Brown’s Masterclass online. For anyone who doesn’t know him; he wrote “The DaVinci Code.” I’ve only watched the first two lessons and already have ideas for three short stories. Mr. Brown is right; simple conversations (or, in my case, listening to one annoying little creature who talks in circles) can cause great ideas. I’ll link the stories here when I get them finished.<\/p>\n

Wrote a guest blog post for Breaking Rules Publishing, and of course, forgot to copy the link over here. I’ll add it in another post.<\/p>\n

Wow. This is random and rambling at its finest. What say I go ahead and wrap this up by saying:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I’m writing again.<\/li>\n
  2. I’ve got three short stories lined up.<\/li>\n
  3. Masterclass is amazing — after Dan Brown, I’ll be taking one from David Lynch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now, if you’ll pardon me, EDEN-1 is calling.<\/p>\n
