It’s Star Wars Month once again! And the month is full of LEGO, at least for the streams. Once it releases on the fifth, that’s all I’ll be streaming, except for one or two other games. Over on GRcade’s Twitch, I’ll have my non-Star Wars content, including a visit to the Stream Farm.
But breaking from Star Wars for a bit, it’s also a celebration this month. On the 7th five years ago, I self-published my first book. The Alternate Adventures of Halesowen paved the start of my first series, which had going to be Secrets Behind the Truth. With Alternate Adventures, however, it allowed me to introduce the characters and sort out a timeline for the events of that second book.
Since the release of those two, a third book – The Future Adventures of Halesowen – released to bring more stories from those characters. The free book on Wattpad – The Alternate Extras of Halesowen, told more stories of the group from Halesowen, with Shorts of the Rula having a story from the world focused on characters not part of the Halesowen crew.
So, how am I celebrating? With a sale. Starting on the 7th, all three books of the series will drop to 99p for a week. With new stories. My intention is to add to both Alternate Extras and Shorts of the Rula. One story each. I won’t reveal what they’ll be, but each should be a good read. On Twitter. I’ll be dropping a few quotes from the stories across the month, highlighting a few of the stories from the series.
I’ll also be writing an article about the series, giving an idea as to the future of it and some behind-the-scenes of the writing of it. That will come during the middle of the month. As, back to Star Wars Month, there’ll be an experiences article on LEGO Star Wars at the beginning of the month, and one on The Force Unleashed near the end.
Around the middle of the month will also be a concept article, expanding on those non-Battlefront ones I once proposed back in 2018. That article isn’t yet on this new site, but with it, I talked of a racing game featuring various forms of racing, an action RPG featuring a bounty hunter, and an action-adventure with multiple stories that intersect throughout. All the concepts presented will see a bit more given to them.
As for videos, those will be non-LEGO related. Six of them will come, hopefully, with all being on different games. Not all of them will be Battlefront, but I won’t say any more. Mostly because I’m not sure yet what I’ll be doing with them except the first. No matter, as I’ll be making sure they’re good. Since…
If you’ve seen previous monthly updates, you’ll know of the issues I’ve talked about. I’ve been lacking in energy and down on motivation, fully from my mind creating issues related to my health. It took reassurance again to see that it was all in my head, and this time I can see exactly what’s been happening. I am working to make sure it does not happen again.
As such, this is the first month I fully expect things to be back to normal. And I will make sure to keep going, happy in the knowledge that I am fine and fretting over when I’m not can have dangerous results.
