Quick Update
Wednesday, January 20, 2016
Where have you been?!
My mission this year, 2016 is to publish or drown in printer ink while trying!
As a treat, I'll be uploading certain opinion pieces I wrote in the last few years, and may even begin writing a weekly article on a current event. Methinks a tribute to Alan Rickman is in order for the upcoming week.
Stay tuned, my silence.

Writing Project
I feel as if I have abandoned this space, I have not used it in over a year. What a waste, don’t you think? I always try to come back and make another post filled with intrigue…but I fail to do so and for that I feel that I must apologize. I am not one to disappear, or fly away, but I do have some news you might be delighted to hear.
For the last few months I have embarked on a journey, and though it is one trip that has deviated my arrival to my initial goal, I am very excited about it. You see, I am currently writing a book. This book was a request by a few personal friends of mine. It is based on the adventures of their characters through a span of 50-something years. I was once a part of this group of collaborating writers so it is very exciting for me to be the one putting the pieces together. I have to admit, however, that it is very time consuming!
For the most part, I have to deal with temporal inconsistencies. By that I mean there are conflicts of occurrence in a timeline, for example: when laid out on a timeline…one particular moment in time would be the date during which two major (and very different) events occur. I would attempt to break it down further, but I fear I may have a mental break down haha.
Just know, please, I have not abandoned you. Even if my words are echoes in an infinite void, a virtual flint…I’m still here, and if I’m not updating this space, it is usually for a good reason. As you know now, I am writing. It’s kept me busy. I’m not even halfway through planning. But…I do have a treat for you…
That, ladies and gentlemen, would be the base of operations. It looks much more organized, and that is because I had been adding my notes on the very handy Microsoft OneNote. I still have a lot of paperwork to go through, and yes, all of those notes are plot notes and re-defined plot notions and reminders about changes.
Well then, I’ll see you…hopefully before I finish. I hope I get to write you a summer note before June comes around, but it all depends on how busy this story will have me.
Remember to be careful! Get loads of rest, get loads of sleep, but more importantly…get loads of reading, writing, and family time. Happy (late) St. Patrick’s Day do you all! I hope your festivities were better than my own, but that’s a story for another time, for now I must go.
Your writer,
J. Fenix
