Something For the Week’s End

So, January’s in full swing and to be completely honest with you, I’m still on holiday even though it sadly ends tomorrow. It’s been lovely to just rest, sleep and play copious amounts of Monopoly (which was interesting as you all know) before work restarts and we get dragged back into the humdrum of 9-5s and scheduled works.

But in the meantime, it’s been a lovely time for family and the relative mental silence. Plus a little time to reflect is always great. Hope your new year has been great so far. It’s always exciting to start something new.

For this year, I want to write more. So, I’m going to get back into trying to blog more regularly. I’m thinking something on the Thursdays but I don’t want the excitement of my new prospects to get to me, so we’re playing it by ear.

In essence, this is the first of the new year.

Let’s get this metaphorical bread…

To start off, ‘Beta’ is almost done in writing. To give some context, it’s book two to an existing series of mine aptly named “Alpha”. Don’t ask me why I went with those names. It was cool (and I still think it is :P).

Alpha is a vampire/sci-fi/thriller book about, well… vampires. It began off a prompt and ended up being the first book I finished writing even though it wasn’t the one I published first. It was good practice and I’m hoping to do it justice with the sequel.

‘Beta’ is almost complete after which it’s going to be edited and re-jigged around to ensure it is an exhilarating read and better than what came before it. I plan for it to be a trilogy so after ‘Beta’, I’ll be playing one more time in that world before putting it aside until another time. We shall discuss the other book later.

Secondly, as a recommendation of a book to read, here’s one for you. It’s one of the books from the derby and to be completely honest with you, I really did love reading it. I’m not going to say much about it but I think it’s worth a read. Details below.

Lastly, I… lol, there’s not lastly. I think I’ve covered what I want to cover for this post.

But here’s a question to you (and please do answer)… what are your plans for the year? Anything grand? Anything simple? Something in-between? It would be nice to know!

See you all in the comments!
