While writing my first five sci-fi and fantasy books, I wrote 6-8 hours a day, 5-6 days a week. It took me about eight years to write those. I finished the last one, Merlin & Arthur: The Awakening, in May of 2020. Since then, I've been working on the third and final book of the Alban Saga, The Vortex, but I've found it difficult to stay on schedule and work consistently. I think that I was simply burned out. However, I'm finally back on track, writing more consistently again, and enjoying it!
One of the things that really turned the tide for me is when I began writing outside my home in an old library in my area. I've always liked writing in libraries when I was out traveling, so I decided that I would try it near my home to help me get back on track. It worked! I've included a couple of pictures of the library above.
I'm hoping that I'll be able to finally complete The Vortex during 2023. I'm very excited about the story and think it will make a great ending to the Alban Saga trilogy! I'll let you know how it goes!
