JULY 2025 – Endless summer days and warm weather isn’t helping my writer’s block here, haha. Distraction abound! Watching the sailboats with a book in hand has become my new favorite afternoon escape. I should start practicing my nautical knots again and get back out there!
Still journaling regularly and putting together ideas for a new fiction book project, not completely sold on the merits of it in a world of AI, but still soldiering forward with it as a hypothetical work. Have the foundational plot figured out and the main characters, it is a sci-fi book which would be a first, so lots of new territory to explore.
Tried another Patrick Rothfuss book, his other short story work, ‘The Narrow Road Between Desires’, which I believe is a re-imagining of his earlier book ‘The Lightning Tree’. Like ‘The Slow Regard of Silent Things’ it is also in his main story line universe from the Kingkiller Chronicles and Kvothe. But this story features Bast and was a completely different style book, which I quite enjoyed. It also had wonderful illustrations and numerous bits of humor woven in. It definitely makes me curious when Rothfuss is going to return to this universe and release the third book in his main series, but remain patient and just enthusiastic about the undertaking.
Patient and enthusiastic, story of so much of my life, haha. Now if you’ll excuse me, need to get back to my reading nook and sailboats.
Cheers!
