Let the Year of the Book II Commence!

January 2, 2023December 29, 2022 Michael Brockbank 2 Comments year of the book

It’s January 2nd, and I’m ready to get things moving. Then again, I’ve been ready since November. In any case, it’s time to get myself started with the Year of the Book II. I know, it may sound a bit corny. But I find labeling my years to be helpful when trying to accomplish goals.

Just One More Week to Go in 2022!

December 23, 2022December 23, 2022 Michael Brockbank 0 Comments

I’m quite excited about starting the new year. Not because 2022 has been a bad one for me, or anything. Though, things could have been much better. I’m eager to get started because of all the things I plan on accomplishing.

Schedules, VII, Marketing, and Getting Excited for 2023

December 16, 2022December 16, 2022 Michael Brockbank 0 Comments vii, writing

This week, I put a lot of effort into getting things done. After coming to the conclusion that I wanted more out of myself, everything just kind of fell into place. It’s amazing what happens when you have a good, long conversation in the mirror about who you are and where you want to go.

Schedules, Mindomo, Still Breaking Records, and Vocal Media

December 9, 2022December 9, 2022 Michael Brockbank 0 Comments breaking records, mindomo, vocal media

There are times when I wish I wouldn’t try to pile so much onto my plate. But it’s all things I would love to accomplish. It’s similar to how you might have a junk drawer in the kitchen of stuff you “plan on fixing” someday down the road. But are you really going to fix those things?

NaNoWriMo Fail, Breaking Records, and Starting December

December 2, 2022December 2, 2022 Michael Brockbank 0 Comments writing

November was kind of a screwed-up month for me. From people trying to steal cars to not being able to go home for Thanksgiving, it’s been a mess. However, the dust is starting to settle and things are moving forward yet again.

Slowed Down By a Cold, But Still Moving Forward – Ish

November 4, 2022November 4, 2022 Michael Brockbank 0 Comments

This past week has been a rough one. While I had some high hopes to get more work done on VII for NaNoWriMo and editing my next book, I entertained a relatively long-lasting cold. Nonetheless, I am still looking to end the year far better than I did in 2021.

Being Productive, Being Excited, and Being Sick

October 28, 2022October 28, 2022 Michael Brockbank 0 Comments

It has been a productive week, despite the last three days kind of flailing about thanks to a cold. However, I’ve still managed to get quite a bit done and looking forward to next week. Not just because it’s Halloween, but because of the things I have planned.

How Am I Able to Write 20,000 Words Per Week?

October 19, 2022October 19, 2022 Michael Brockbank 0 Comments writing goals

I was asked once by one of my writers how I was able to write so much content in a single day. It’s actually not all that difficult. Although nowadays I don’t write nearly as much as I did back in 2013, I can still crank out more than 20,000 words when I actually make an effort.

Wrapping Up My Second Book TODAY!

October 13, 2022October 13, 2022 Michael Brockbank 2 Comments kingmaker, self-publishing

For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been pushing myself to get as much writing done on my next book as possible. The best part is that I don’t feel like it’s rushed. I’ve taken my time to draft the story I want to tell and found myself in one of the best grooves I’ve ever had.

Kingmaker Progress, Fixing Up Blogs & October Goals

September 30, 2022September 30, 2022 Michael Brockbank 0 Comments blogging, kingmaker, self-publishing, writing goals

This month hasn’t been too bad in terms of productivity. Unfortunately, most of the things I worked on this month didn’t have writing involved. So, the word count was kind of low. But, it was one of my more productive months in terms of time.

VII

19,682 of 80,000 words
As featured on Wattpad. I am rewriting and finishing the story I started back in 2016. If you read it now, keep in mind I am currently working on rewriting the book. It's a bit cringey in places, and I've come a long way in six years.
