2/3 done with second part of the "Goblin Tale"

After four months, three weeks and one day I am to pleased to see that the second part of my dark fantasy series is roughly 2/3 complete. I am astounded at the progress I have made considering that the first part of the series took twice as long. This is actually my first sequel and I was most pleased with the level of violence and the themes involved. I am also extremely please with my use of Elemental mythology, mainly borrowing from several tales of folklore to add to the story's narrative. I have used inspirations from Medieval and Ancient Greek mythologies and, in my honest opinion, they blended extremely well.
If all goes as smoothly as it has been, I should have this story completed in less than one months time!

2017 in retrospect

2017 was actually a very productive year. I completed two novellas and started the second part of my dark fantasy series 'The Goblin Tale' of which I'm roughly about a month removed from completing it. It felt like I was writing the whole year, and for a writer that is truly positive indeed. Plus, I had two absolutely fantastic trips abroad to both Italy and Greece. Halloween was rather memorable and I can honestly say that I'm so much closer to completing my life long goal of being world renown. I can only hope that next year can bring such positive tidings!

Venice was Beautiful!

My Venice trip went pretty much as expected! It was absolutely fantastic and reinforced my own personal belief that when all of us finally die the only actual things that we take with us are our memories. The sights were stupendous, the food excellent, and the wine was legendary. I also had the privilege of having the ultimate guide in my nephew who took me to every crevice the historic city had to offer. Considering that this is the second trip I've had this year and both of them were awesome(My whole trip to Venice cost me less than $1000.00) I'm very excited on any and all prospects that next year shall bring!
