Progress

It’s officially started out as a good day. I’ve written a new chapter in the new Strange Visions book, a new title in the Wrong series is 99% finished, and I even found out that I have some people from England and Malaysia who are reading my book. I’m going to write more in the new Strange Visions book today, and hopefully I’ll get a chance to do another read through of the other Strange Visions books soon. They’re almost ready for release, and I’m on a good pace to reach my goal of July 14th for them. I’m starting to wrap up with the editing process, and I’ve been moving quickly with writing new books, so that got me thinking. When I’m finally done with the Wrong series and the Strange Visions series, what should I write about? They’re both very different from one another. Wrong is more of a CIA thriller with elements of romance and even comedy. Strange Visions is a young adult book that centers on crime, Sci-Fi elements and incorporates romance into it. If I’ve delved into the thriller genre and the sci-fi/crime genre, what should I do next? It’s a long way off. In fact, it may be over a year before I’m done with these two series, but I can’t help but think to the future. I had an idea for a Christian book. My other books aren’t Christian books, but I think it’s something I feel like I need to do at least once because there’s a story to tell there. After that, I don’t know, however. I don’t want to be like some authors and get caught into the trap of writing in the same genre all the time. That’s why I created the Strange Visions series to coexist with the Wrong series. The challenging thing in the future is going to be coming up with new ideas that in no way resemble my old ones. There are plenty of things to draw from, though, so I’m not too worried. I have interest in doing books that fall in the Romance, Sci-fi, Christian, sports, and even children’s genres. Maybe I’ll eventually be able to write about all that, but I’m getting ahead of myself. Finish what you started first, Mitchel is what I should be saying to myself, but who knows? Maybe I’ll find the time to work on a side project or two during my work on these two series. I would love to hear from anyone out there who has any ideas. I love all sorts of things, so no idea would be a bad one. What do you guys like to write or read? I really would like to know that because I like to challenge myself and get out of my comfort zone. Strange Visions was a storyline that was outside of my comfort zone. I’ve never like the idea of writing a book with Sci-fi elements in it, but once I forced myself to write it, I found that it became natural. I had stretched myself to a new limit and found that I could do something I was initially uncomfortable with, and after a while, I was not only comfortable with it, but I didn’t know why I never wanted to write something like it to begin with. It was a second home for me in my head, and I want to build more of those homes in the future. Let me know what you think, and tell me what you want to read. Also, leave me some reviews on Amazon of my current Wrong books when you get time. The more reviews I have, the more people will take a chance on reading something I’ve written. I want to reach as many people as possible. Thanks.
