I hope you all are doing well and feeling fine. I am a bit late, so today you'll get Monday Mentionables and Tuesday Traveling.
First up are two links to articles that I found interesting and I think you might, too.
The first is about characters changing throughout your book/s. I am starting to go through this now, as I'm on the second book in the Max Hamby series.

The second link is something I think all writers experience at one point or another. It's how the people around you react to your writing and or books. I know, for me, it was disappointing to discover that no one was as ecstatic as I was when I published my first book. I learned that it's normal. Not everyone is into books like I am and very few will sit and have a discussion on writing.

What would your character be doing here? What scene is taking place?

Such a beautiful place. When I look at this photo, I imagine pirates.
What do you see? Is there someone waiting on the beach?
Updates on book 2 of the Max Hamby series will be posted soon.
But, for now, if you love magic and fantasy as much as I do or know someone who does, Max Hamby and the Blood Diamond is available at Amazon US, UK and many other online retailers.
