@SWAnimus01 Well I'm a newbie and I didn’t think about tropes before I started, and honestly still don't. So for me if they show up its organically.

[M Batterton @MLBatterton]

Revisions completed.

Manuscript uploaded.

Now we wait....

Really nervous. Someone outside my circle of interaction, not a family member, friend, or coworker, is going to be reading what I've written.

Hope it's not a dumpster fire in print. 😅

I believe its time. As I come to the ending of my book, I find myself in need of an upgrade to my laptop. What do you recommend as a good device for a writer? Budget conscious device, still just me debut novel. 😅

I have been silent and absent for a few months. A needed break but I am finding it difficult to get back into writing. So... I have chosen to hand off the manuscript as is to some alpha readers. Both excited and terrified. But perhaps this will be the spark to reignite my creativity!

[M Batterton @MLBatterton]

Those of you who were aware, thank you for your messages of support and encouragement. My health has stabilized and I'm happy to return to my writing journey!

For those of you who have been following my journey, been kind to offer advice and assistance, want to thank you all. I have been absent much of this month due to health and am still navigating the situation. My book will be completed make no mistake about that. But for now I am focused on my health. Thank you all for your support.

Breakfast with my daughter, and then I think I'll dive back into the world of Oriar, continuing Kasmila’s journey through Istheria.

I'm back, everyone! I took some time away from writing and social media due to health reasons. I'm feeling a bit better and getting back into the grove. Those who have been following along, don't be discouraged. Tombworld: A Flame Amid Endless War will still be coming this year! #TombworldSeries #writerslife #WritingCommunity

Another weekend approaches and what have I accomplished in writing this week thus far... nothing 😭

[M Batterton @MLBatterton]

Light writing day, if at all. Today is birthday celebrations for the two of the most important women in my life. My wife and daughter, who's birthdays are a day apart. 💕

[M Batterton @MLBatterton]

I did a thing...
Printed out my manuscript, unfinished only first 30 chapters. But seeing it in physical form, I'm inspired to finish it this weekend!

Maybe 😅

For whomever needs to hear it. Your story matters and is a beautiful creation. Don't be discouraged, the world deserves to see it.

[M Batterton @MLBatterton]

No writing today. Took a day to rest the mind and come back to that last chapter. It didn't feel right.

[M Batterton @MLBatterton]

See it?? It's there! Just right there! But the journey to get to it, to the end... feels just as out of reach as it did in Chapter 1...
