To Give Up Fear We Must Also Surrender Hope

Being the writer that I am means I've subscribed to countless wirterly blogs. Most of the time I find myself just skimming the info given. But once in a while, I end up reading rather philosophical musings that I find touch a nerve somewhere.

Here's one of them, talking about Camus's Myth of Sisyphus, that bloke who was condemned by his gods to constantly have to push a boulder up a mountain only to have to see it roll back down at the end and have to start all over again.

Yeah, that guy.

So the question is, when there is no hope of change in the end, do you keep on fighting or do you give up?

Here's the rest of David Corbett's post, which may (?) have the answer for you...

Thou Shalt Not Make Your Employer Lose Money -- An Interesting Historical Tidbit

Disney's Paperman

It's been a while since I've posted here. While working on the last volume of the Morgana Trilogy, I've also started doing research for my next series, and thought you might like to read about it.

The 10 Commandments of Being an Office Employee at the turn of the 20th century...

Totally feels like Paperman, doesn't it? But like, 100 times worse...

Update On The Morgana Trilogy

Dearest Readers,

I know I have been remiss in giving you any kind of update lately, but I'm making up for that now!

The last few months were spent pouring over books, but the wrong kind of books--the ones required to study for a major exam that I just took last weekend. It was very challenging for me to put my writing aside for these studies, but it only convinced me all the more that I simply cannot live without writing (it also made me wish fervently that I could be more like Hermione and a little less like Ron, or even Harry for that matter...).

Now that the Terrible Test is over, I have been working hard at finishing book 3 of the Morgana Trilogy: Curse of the Fey!

The book cover should be ready in a few months, and I can't wait to see what it's going to look like. As for when you will finally get to read the end of Morgan's adventures, my current (soft) target for publication is beginning of December 2016. There will be a book signing, of course, with extra goodies to win as well.

I will keep everyone posted (seriously!) when things become more concrete. Of course, don't hesitate to contact me or comment if you have questions in the meantime :)

Have a jolly great second half of June! I'll be hard at work on my writing (thankfully, I'm more like Hermione in this instance ^.^).

PS: I know, there are way too many references to HP here, but there's a HP exhibit out all summer over here, and I know the new play's coming out (The Cursed Child which, btw, is already booked till end of May 2017!), so I can't help it :p
