Hey there! It’s been a while since the last update on my book (nearly three months in fact!) but that’s mostly because there’s been little to report.
Indeed, I nearly gave up on the project…
You may remember that my plan was for at least one third of the essays in this collection to be brand new material. Well, over the past several months I’ve really struggled to find topics that I thought were worth including alongside the previously published articles. I was gripped by writer’s block. In my frustration, I almost abandoned the idea of releasing the collection at all. Thankfully, some timely encouragement from my aunt got me back on track!
I’ve decided the best thing to do is to cut the new essays from the project entirely. Instead, the collection will consist of just under twenty articles that have been published since 2020 either at Word on Fire or Voyage Comics. I’m currently in the process of revising these articles. Once I’m done with that, I will compose an original Introduction and an Afterword. I also plan to ask a special guest writer to contribute a Foreword!
I’m hoping to get this book self-published on Kindle by Thanksgiving so that it can be purchased for the holidays. I plan to post weekly updates on my progress (probably on Wednesdays) to help keep me accountable and to keep you guys informed, so watch this space!
Take care and until we meet again, “the Road goes ever on…”
