The year only has three months left, and there’s a lot to cover for the monthly agenda today.

Last time, I mentioned having an idea for National Novel Writing Month this year. The update on that is while I believe it is something I will publish, I will not be doing it for NaNoWriMo this year. Rather, I have actually started working on it now. This was not a decision I made lightly, but after struggling with Rise of the Adept for so long, I thought that I would rather be working on a new project than failing to make significant progress on a current project. This is not to say that Rise of the Adept is being cancelled and I hope to reach a point where I can write both stories on some sort of schedule until one is done. Expect a post announcing in further detail what my other writing project is along with answers to some questions that I think people may have.

While progress on Rise of the Adept isn’t going too well, I am pleased to announce that I am looking into expanding The House of Virgil to other formats. Be on the lookout for an announcement regarding that sometime this month as well.

Finally, I expect to post some podcasts this month. NaNoWriMo is in November and I’d want to have reviews for last year’s movies posted before I have to dedicate myself to writing for an entire month. At what times these podcasts will be posted is dependent on free time between writing and my new job.

Lot of announcements coming up this month. I look forward to seeing how everyone reacts.

Until next time.

Summer is almost over and there’s another monthly agenda to look at.

Work on Rise of the Adept has been slow. I do believe that I am overcoming the writer’s block that halted progress on the story and that my writing will start to catch up for the time that’s been lost. The reason for overcoming writer’s block is something that I am very excited to talk about.

I am pleased to announce that not only have I thought of my idea for National Novel Writing Month this year, but if all goes well, it may very well be something I publish. I don’t want to say more as I am still working out the details and am not sure about how this will conflict with Rise of the Adept but I have high hopes for this new idea that borrows upon some of my previous ideas. What I will say is that this new idea is loosely connected to the Adventures of Stylish Simon and leave it at that.

Finally, I am looking to a way to get the pictures I’ve mentioned onto the website. I’ve been playing around with account on Instagram and think that it may be able to get the pictures from my phone to the website as a middle ground. Be on the lookout for that.

Looking forward to what the future holds.

Until next time.

Summer is almost over yet the monthly agendas will continue on.

So, I may have jinxed myself with the 25,000 words for Rise of the Adept. I wasn’t able to get that done even though I am making some progress in writing. Currently, I have a creative/writer’s block going on and have been struggling to write. The good news is that with my birthday coming up, I am hoping that the celebration will be enough to refresh my mind moving forward.

Regarding podcasts, there have been no new episodes recently. I don’t think I can approach an episode with the same problems I faced while writing. Still, I am hoping that I can publish at least one new episode of Gettin’ Real with the Reels, likely towards the last half of the month.

I am also pleased to announce that I am in the process of getting my remote drone pilot certificate. It’s funny that I never expected to do that yet I remain optimistic about the future with this new development.

I’ll keep everyone updated on my progress on these different projects.

Until next time.

The year continues on and with it comes a new monthly agenda.

I am pleased to announce that progress is being made on Rise of the Adept as two chapters have been finished. I expect that the amount of work will increase on Rise of the Adept this month. Not only will I be going to North Carolina where I always spend my time writing without distractions, but starting with this year, I have signed up for Camp NaNoWriMo. If all goes well, I shall have written 25,000 words for Rise of the Adept before the month is over.

While I am starting to catch up on my podcasts, I believe that there may be a delay throughout this month with recording and editing. I don’t plan on recording any podcasts during my vacation and want to put more focus on my writing. There will still be episodes of Gettin’ Real with the Reels but I don’t imagine there will be frequent updates.

Other projects will be updated infrequently as well. I make this decision not only because I am focusing on Rise of the Adept but also because I am also working on finding a job. Once I’m settled in the post-graduate life, I will look over different projects and see what to expect.

Thank you for sticking with me this long. It means a lot.

Until next time.

At this point, I’ve graduated and am moving on from school, which means I am now free to get back to my projects.

I am pleased to announce that progress is continuing with Rise of the Adept as I have been able to finish the parts I originally started all the way back in March. I hope for continued progress over the summer and remain hopeful that it will be ready for editing around August or September.

I intend to get back to Gettin’ Real with the Reels this month as well. I want to catch up on the movies that I intended to review over spring semester, and even though they are out of theaters, it will make for good experience. I hope that by July, I will be able to make episodes on movies that are still in theaters.

This will be a shorter monthly agenda. Of course, I have to think about what to do as a career but I should have time to get back to here.

Until next time.

The finish line for graduation is approaching, and although I still have quite a bit of work to get done, I will always be sure to have a monthly agenda.

I explained in last month’s agenda that I was focusing on my schoolwork so I could graduate. I only have two weeks of school left yet plenty of assignments left, ranging from minor homework to big essays and presentations. Then, of course, I will be busy celebrating graduation with the family, which will take more time.

I am confident that May is the month which I will return to making content on this website. It’ll just be a little bit longer and I do apologize for the wait but I find it difficult to give it my all to my creative projects when distracted by college. I’m not sure what exactly I’ll start on when I do get back but it could be more podcasts, writing, or even a photo gallery.

What I am most excited for after graduation is to work on Rise of the Adept. At this time I am not sure when it will be done but remain confident that, as long as I can get in the mood to write, I should be able to get through the first draft simply because of the amount of free time I will have.

Finally, be on the lookout from new projects from me in the near future. I have no idea what these will look like but believe that once I graduate, I might try experimenting with new ideas for content.

Thank you all for the wait. It will be worth it.

Until next time.

Time for another monthly agenda. No April Fool’s jokes here, although this is going to be shorter.

So, I am reaching the point in the semester where I have to focus on the big assignments. Over the past week, I’ve been working on my senior thesis, and these next few weeks look as though to have more paperwork. Additionally, I have a second-half semester class that takes place right when I was recording podcasts. So, for the sake of graduating, I am going to have to put most projects on hold until I can have free time.

Unfortunately, I was also unable to get as much done over spring break as I would have liked. I did work more on Rise of the Adept but not as much as I hoped. Hopefully once school ends I will be able to dedicate more time to that.

I know this may be disappointing to hear but I am focusing on an important part of my life that’s about to come to an end. Once I graduate, it will all be worth it.

Thank you for sticking with me throughout. I am going to try to find time for podcasts, writing, and maybe even photography toward the end of the month but I make no promises.

Until next time.

It’s time for another monthly agenda, and this month is going to be short.

First, if you haven’t checked it out already, I’ve released a new podcast, Nine Tips on Writing. This was for a school project and meant to reach out to students K-12 but I think that it has a lot of good advice, so feel free to check it out. I am currently thinking about doing something similar to that in the future but nothing is set in stone yet.

That said, I was very optimistic when I said I was hoping for two podcasts a week. That announcement came before I found out there was more to do to graduate that I wasn’t aware of. This semester is going to be more busy now. I am hoping to do a single podcast a week until graduation or work slows down but we’ll see.

The good news is that spring break is coming up and I have plans to go to the beach. I always say I do my best writing on the beach so I am very excited to work on Rise of the Adept. I have finished some basic editing and am hopeful to continue the story, although I will have to balance it out with schoolwork as well.

That’s all for this agenda.

Until next time.

It’s almost been two years since I’ve started this website, let’s get on with another monthly agenda.

Allow me to explain my absence last month first. Two major events happen that took most of my attention. The first was that partway through January, everyone in my house caught COVID-19. We’re all fine now, and fortunately, I didn’t catch it (get the booster if you can). Still, there was this feeling of dread that I may have it. After that settled down, it was time to move back to college and adjust to that.

I’m still adjusting to my final semester but the good news is that I’ve looked over at my schedule, and I have a lot of free time to record podcasts. Once I settle in, my big hope is to record two podcasts a week, provided I have material. This may seem like a lot, but honestly, I have nothing to do Tuesdays and Thursdays after 11:00. I’m optimistic that it will work out. As for the Journal of Runark, I need to get back in the habit of writing those entries as well. If I do run out of material for podcasts, I may just end up alternating between writing and podcasts.

Speaking of podcasts, I have a standalone podcast coming soon. No clue what it will be called, just that it’s going to be my experience as an author. The idea is to distribute the podcast link to schools to have young students listen to as I am hoping to get into community outreach in the near future.

Finally, like last year, don’t expect anything celebrating the anniversary of the website going live. Just a reminder the first post went live on February 29th which isn’t this year. This may come back to haunt me in two years but I’m sure I’ll have something ready by then.

Here’s to another year of website content.

Until next time.

21 has become 22 and it is time for a new monthly agenda.

If you haven’t checked it out yet, be sure to look over at the 2022 New Year Announcements. It will give an idea of what to expect.

Given that I talked a lot about what to expect with that, this is going to be a short monthly agenda. The Journal of Runark is going to continue to progress. I am hoping to release more episodes of Gettin’ Real with the Reels and start catching up on the 2021 movies I haven’t reviewed yet.

There’s no telling how my final semester at college is going to look or how busy I will be. However, I am going to do what it takes to get back to writing, starting with Rise of the Adept. It’s time to write more chapters and get it out.

I did say it was going to be a shorter agenda. Enjoy the new year and let’s hope that everything is going to be good.

Until next time.
