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.
