Greetings Boyz and Ghouls,
It's your boy Damon back with you again and I promise I'll keep this post short and sweet. For the past few months I have been suffering with a bitch of an ailment called writers block, and man I thought it would never end. Thankfully, it has finally passed and the ideas are flowing freely once again. The only problem is now, I've got too many bloody ideas that it's a bitch trying to keep pace with my own damn imagination. Talk about going from one extreme to the next ha! One minute I'm completely dry of ideas and the next I've got too many to focus on! Being a creative can be a finicky business, believe me, you're either writing like a madman getting blisters on your fingers from typing so fast, or you're sitting in front of a blank screen watching a blinking cursor and slowly going insane because you can't even write a single word, and that's exactly what happened to me for months, not days, but months. I was struggling so badly that I almost said to Hell with this writing malarky I'm just not cut out for it. And on and on it went until a few days ago, when the dry spell finally broke and all these crazy ideas came at me from nowhere. I've got some crazy storylines for the final book of the Awesome Four Trilogy, but also, ideas for a new line of short stories and novels over the next few months to make up for lost time.
I promised to keep this post short, so in a nutshell I've had to delete the manuscript I had written for the final Awesome Four book because it was absolute garbage, it was written without any emotion or real interest in what I was writing and it showed. So, I'm starting from scratch with a whole new set of ideas, ideas that are getting me excited to write about. I know when I have a good story coming, it's like having butterflies in your stomach an adrenaline rush so to speak, and you can't wait to start pounding at the keys. That's the affect these new storylines are having on me, and I'm only sorry it took so damn long to break free from the clutches of the dreaded writers block. I can't give you and exact release date for the final Awesome Four book, but trust me it will be before the end of the year and I promise you, it will be well worth the wait.
That's just about all I've got to say for this post gang. So, until the next time, this is Damon Robert Graves signing off...
