Rob you are the man! When I first decided I was going to get serious about my writing and actually try to polish and publish a story, I started getting active in social media and the Indie Author scene in general. I knew I wanted to write the kind of stories I want to read. That's all I knew. But as I started digging I came across you on Twitter and I have to say that I've been inspired by your passion. I look forward to reading your books soon and I just want you to know that you are out here inspiring others.
Thanks, man... it's greatly appreciated. Apart from just writing, helping others find their way to it is why I try to stay so active on Twitter and Substack. Even if I'm not the next great storyteller, I hope to find those who are because what we've been getting for several years now is pretty uninspiring.
Jokes aside, that really is why I go so hard on the stuff for 365 and why I'm really stoked to see people explore series where series potential actually exists. We need to get back to a balance of self-contained stories and competitive franchises that can actually start measuring up to the dying IPs. Perhaps not in budgets or name-recognition, but by making consistent, quality works that keep getting better and better. And on enthusiasm outpacing production; this is why I slow down after releasing an issue. You need time to breath, reevaluate, and refocus. Next week I'm sitting down and vegging the fuck out, watching movies, reading books, listening to records in full, and just getting back to basics. Keep on slaying the dragon, bro.
I usually take a week off. It's really not enough, though.
I look at what I'm doing from the perspective as a fan, which is why I am trying to create so much BotS content. Because when I find a new franchise that I really dig the hell out of, I then want to deep dive into anything I can get my hands on. So, ultimately, I want to be able to provide that for someone else. In the last year or so, it's also been a "strike while the iron is hot" mentality, and it's been damn hot for nearly 18 months. But 5 books in, I know that I can ease up a bit more. I want this 6th one to be on another level, because its follow up is the beginning of the next big phase in the saga.

I am, in fact, the next George Lucas. Lol.
