Feels Good
My wonderful family blocked off time for me to write this past weekend, and it was awesome!
I spend most of Saturday working on a short novel that revolves around Master Fuu from my first novel, "The Orphan of Destiny, David Hall" :D I wouldn't really put it in the prequel category since this short novel doesn't directly flow into the David Hall series, but it does provide some context for what's to come in the next David Hall book!
It was great to have large chunks of time to write more fluidly. I feel like writing in short sprints is great for getting ideas down, but I find that my writing starts to get a bit choppy, and I have to spend more time editing (I ended up editing a lot of what I had written before).
Anyways, I'm about 40-50% of the way through the rough draft :D maybe after a few more writing sessions, I'll be ready to make more extensive edits and prepare the novel for advance readers.

Being Social Via Media
So, I finally decided to create an Instagram account for myself. To be honest, I'm not 100% sure what I'll be posting yet, but I figured it'd be fun to share my journey there :)
For those who may be interested, I'm @author_ajk on Instagram, see you there!

Thank you!
WOW! I'm so amazed by the amount of interest for my book's giveaway :D Thanks everyone for entering and for being interested in my first novel!
Fun fact: when I was first brainstorming the plot, I didn't have any names for any of the characters, so I used the names of Pokemon LOL
For those of you who win the giveaway (or decide to pick up a copy yourself), I truly hope you enjoy the story :) I have a sequel and a spin-off novella in the works, so if you like the characters from "The Orphan of Destiny, David Hall," you'll be able to follow them on more adventures (hopefully) later this year!
