A writing challenge

It is the new year, welcome to 2020.

Often it is time for many of us/you to set new goals for the year to hopefully improve ourselves for the coming year. Many times we succeed, many times we fail. I'm not one that usually makes new years resolutions either professionally or personally. I have a general idea where I'm trying to go in life and carry on.

Now, in my writing career I've sold a few books; not as many as I would have hoped over the years but just enough to pat myself on the back. Making a career as a writer isn't for the feint of heart especially when there are bills to pay, a family to keep and life to face in the everyday world. I may never be able to retire from the day job and become strictly an author but hey, you have to keep the dream alive.

So where is this going Robert? Glad you asked.

For the year I have given myself a writing challenge, a type I've never done before. I have two novels to work on this year, finishing Serrian Sector, the fourth book of my sci-fi series and picking up work again on the third book of my fantasy series which I have let languish due to the former series. But the other challenge I've set for myself is a 365 challenge. I will write one paragraph per day for 365 days and post it to my facebook author page and on Twitter.

The story is a continuation of two first person fantasy short stories that I had no intention of continuing but, inspiration happens. If you would like to follow along and see how far I go with this challenge feel free to follow along on either Robert Thomas / Black Cover Books or @42rthomas

My challenge began on December 26th, the birthday of my beloved brother 'The Stache'. Perhaps he will follow along as well, but I won't count on it. He's very busy in retirement these days.
