Ramblings of a Writer


Here it is, the 16th of November, and the time just rolls on. It seems that time is always working against us and this may sound a bit disturbing, but eventually our time will run out. With that in mind, I just sit back and think, “How much time have I put into this?” And the answer I come up with every time is, “Not enough.”

There are so many things that I can add into the series, the twists and turns. My imagination is the limit! That’s one of the things that have me bent on an immortality characteristic. Immortality, what am I talking about? Oh you don’t know, perhaps you should read up on my first chapter of “The Chamberlains” which is leading up to the Within Series.

It may not be your cup of tea but it’s my tea, biscuit, dough, and chicken nuggets. You got that right, I said nuggets. I’m very picky on my works and I try to tread carefully to appease everyone and do things the “correct” way, but that doesn’t personally make me happy. And like in my first paragraph above, our time will run out. So I should do what feels right to me about my novels and how I present them.

I have that to thank to my wife, Heather Rhodes. She tells me over and over and over, did I mention over and over? I think I did. Anyway she can tell me a bajillion times but I’m too stubborn to realize that from her telling me, I have to find out for myself. If I’m not making sense, oh well, it’s the ramblings of a man in his thirties thinking, “Hey, if you don’t like what I have to say, then may your toes be eaten by rabid smurfs.” That’s right. Anyway, I must say that she’s definitely right.

Okay, back to the point of not having one. I’m just feeling a bit, what’s the word I’m looking for, nostalgic. I can only hope that people will see things from my point of view, from my mind’s eye, and hopefully that will be enough to be like, “Hey, this looks interesting,” and Within will take off. But I’ve said it once, twice, thrice, and then some; I’m working on the financial backing and I’m think if I’m impatient and can’t wait then those who are already here can’t wait either.

Is there another way to move things along? Of course there is. But if you keep turning around and going a different direction, you’ll get to your destination…eventually.

Like Vyncent and Abagail in the first chapter, they take the most direct path they can. Obstacles and distractions pop up when they least expect it. But they, like many others, find the means to go on. I too shall move on the best way I know how and eventually I’ll reach my goal.
