I just want to say thank you. Don't worry, this is not a "so long and thanks for all the fish" type of message. I'm just incredibly grateful.
I know I haven't uploaded in a while, but I promise it is for a very good reason. Things are in motion now that cannot be undone, and - I hope - this one particular project will mean as much to at least a few people as it does to me. God of War: Ragnarok is almost certainly going to be dethroned, and that is no easy feat.
But while I haven't uploaded in over a month, the channel has barely fallen off at all. You have kept watching. My video on Mr. Incredible has found new life and many thousands more views, which reaffirms my mission of elucidating the good, the true, and the beautiful that can be found in meaningful stories, the ones that stay with us no matter how long ago we first experienced them.
So thank you for that. Thank you for your views, your likes, and your many words of encouragement.
I wasn't going to share this until later, but I feel called to now: I have spent thousands of hours analyzing and critiquing the writing of others. While I enjoy doing so and won't be stopping anytime soon, I think my mission is incomplete if I do not seek to CREATE one of those stories. So I'm going to write a book.
Writing fiction is not something I'm unfamiliar with. I have done National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) at least twice, but it's been a long time. But this November, I will be doing it again, with the intention to use those 50,000 words as a jumpstart to my novel, which I have already begun world building and outlining.
I have no idea how this is going to go, and I'm certainly not pinning my hopes on even getting published, but my resolution is simple: do it. Complete the story. And if my wife and I are the only ones who ever read it, but we enjoy it, then my mission was a success.
If you want to support me on this or whatever endeavor, and if you would like to receive daily snippets of my writing (again, starting in November), please consider supporting the channel on Patreon.
Regardless, if you have read all the way to the end of this post, I cannot thank you enough. I am not nearly as grateful as I should be for the incredible success of this channel. I do not know what lies in store for us, but I am beyond excited to meet it.
