Well met, good friend. How fare you?

Welcome to April 2026, good friend.

I've  given a lot of thought to that book title, The Curse. I finally thought, 'what if the name is causing all this difficulty? What if The Curse is a curse, and that's why it's been so hard making headway? So, I've renamed it: When Magic Fails.

It seems to have made a difference. I've been at it again for a month solid, and that first draft is slowly turning into the second draft. I'm just finishing ACT I revisions today. I've also come up with an alternate ending, something less dramatic… the way I intended in the first place, but could never figure out.

I've also been learning more story craft, and I'm eager to share that with you along the way. Obviously, knowledge has made a bigger contribution for going forward than anything.
