A little exciting update…

Another Friday blog. It’s exciting this time.

First off, this is my favorite quote from this week’s writing:

“When you’re at your lowest, ‘normal’ feels like a language you once knew but can’t remember how to speak.”

Do you think the main character said this? Anyways…I just hit 72% on A Ceremony of the Forgotten, and wow… things are getting intense.The final chapters are where everything I’ve been building toward starts to snap into place — secrets spilling, tensions boiling, and twists I’ve been dying to write finally coming to life.

There’s this strange mix of excitement and nerves at this stage. I know exactly where it’s all headed, but the characters keep surprising me, adding little moments I didn’t see coming. It feels less like I’m writing and more like I’m racing to keep up with them.

This is hands-down my favorite part of the process. The stakes are high, every scene matters, and the whole story feels alive. I can’t wait for you to see where it all lands.

Finally, thanks a lot for all your support. This book will blow your mind. I promise.
