Sixth Novel Finally Completed!!

Elation's supreme! After seven months, two weeks and three days I have finally completed my sixth novel "Deimos Phobos". It wasn't that long ago that the notion of completing one novel was gargantuan in scope, but six? Absolutely insane! Ironically, the date which I completed it rests on the same date six years ago when I started my first novel, 'The Road to Nowhere'. Such patterns often cause me to scratch my head. So, as of right now, as has been the case so many times before, I really have no idea what next step to take. Its been approximately eighteen years, eight months, three weeks and two days since I started writing as of right now. And, truth be told, I feel myself being pulled into an unknown direction for the sake of self expansion beyond the concept of solely being a writer. This concept too would have been unthinkable for me only a little while ago, but, like someone much wiser than myself explained to me so long ago "Life is growth and change"

A few weeks away from finishing Sixth Novel!

Alas, after almost eight straight months of working on it, I am very happy to say that I'm only a couple of weeks away from completing my sixth novel 'Deimos Phobos'. Like all of my other works, this one took a life of its own almost as soon as I started on it. But, unlike my other ones, this particular story was inspired by happenings in my own life, not to mention a series of murders that for the most part have been overlooked. As always, the elation of completing a novel is definitely its own reward, however a usual inquiry consistently follows me. What happens after this particular work is finished? And, honestly, right now I really don't have an adequate answer. As it always has, perhaps time will tell.
