May 2021 News

Happy Spring to you fellow northern hemispherans. Here comes a brief one. Sorry, there's work to be done. That's why I'm a day early. 

Writing

Edits are in full swing. Clarifying some references to in-world terms and geography. Ripping out some unnecessary details and over-done descriptions. Doing a bit of an overhaul / attitude adjustment on a certain prevalent monk character named after a rock vegetable. You know the one: 

Basalt Kale & Irdessa the Undying - by Felix Ortiz

Also, doing a run through the entire manuscript for certain words, phrases, !s, that all need paring.

I can't tell you a specific date of the book launch or even the conclusion of these edits, but rest assured that it's progressing. I still have a launch date of 2021 in mind. 

Watching

I watched Mortal Kombat (2021) and freakin loved it! Yes, it had some questionable casting, garbage acting, a chasm-ridden plot, and even some subpar fight choreography. But what it had to offer made up for all that. I came in expecting brainless fun and hoping for awesome matchups and brutal fatalities and was not let down. Kabal was in it! And Kung Lao! Jax does his fatality! As does Liu Kang and Sub-Zero! They stuffed the majority of the movie's personality into one character... And if you've seen it or the memes you know who I'm talking about. He's vile and hilarious. There were some missed opportunities in there, but in all it was fun. 

I did a little discussion on it with my S.O.S. brothers and Ryan on CapeCast. Check that out here. I liked it more than they did!

See you next month
