Ugh.

Wow. So it’s been a long time since I wrote a blog post. I used to be fairly frequent, posting once a week, but both life and summer has taken up a lot of my time. I feel the need to apologize to each and everyone of you for growing a little distant, on both blogging and social media.


As I mentioned before, I’m honored for every person that has read either Semblance or Penumbra  and I owe it to YOU to give you my undivided attention. Every time I’m ready to hit up social media and respond to your lovely comments, my daughter always finds her way into my lap, so I wind up taking her to the park or sitting her in front of the piano with me. I can never say “no” to lil’ Princess Patricks, because if I do, I’ll look back and regret losing precious moment together.


To everyone else, please forgive me.


In terms of writing, last week I hit the wall with my Abraham novella, hard. The story has reached a point where I’m not happy with it, which really was a kick in the nuts, seeing as how this was the third revision. There’s about 12k words written of the novella (about 40 pages), where half of it I’m pleased with. I can certainly keep moving forward in the direction its going, and hit publish, but then I’d hate myself.


It’s not good enough for you. I want every book with the Logan Patrick’s name/brand attached to it to be the best damn story possible. I’d rather have my nipples bitten by alligator teeth than to publish something in my opinion is “alright.”


So what am I to do? Well, an awesome super bestie of mine suggested I write something else…give myself a bit of a break from the Midnight Society. I’m going to do just that. It won’t be a long break…I promise. Just a couple of weeks to get two short stories written, in a different genre altogether.


If you recall, my first love is Scifi and Fantasy, so those will be the focus of the two short stories I’m going to write. Then, I’m going to try my hand at having them published professionally somewhere, *fingers crossed* in my quest to be accepted into the SFWA (Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America).


I know this blog post sounds like a whole bunch of whine…and I guess it pretty much is. I’m just disappointed in myself, failing to deliver to you an amazing Abraham novella sooner rather than later. But I just need your patience. It’ll get there, I promise.


As for the Midnight Society, book 3, it’s all plotted out. This book could quite possibly be the biggest mindfuck of a book I’ll write: more-so than Semblance. *Gasp*.


Cheers.


Hip thrust.


Logan Patricks
