Does anyone actually have people over anymore?
Im 39 and I feel like when I was growing up we were always at somebody’s house for family dinners, cookouts, neighbors parties, random holiday get-togethers. Now getting a few people together somehow takes three weeks and a group chat.
And going out is so expensive now! Sometimes I just want everyone to meet back at somebody’s house, eat something simple and kick back on the couch. But even that feels harder to make happen.
Is it like this for you too? What changed? COVID? The cost of everything? Everyone being exhausted?

Reality hits hard
Saw this and realized how true it is, I don’t know what I’m doing, I just do the best I can every day.

Age of the Titan has had about 500 readers since April!
Age of the Titan is a sci-fi story I've been building for the last few years. A thousand years from now, humanity is on the run from alien clans bent on destroying our species. The main antagonist is the Vogrom clan, whose religion teaches that all beings who reject the truth must be eliminated.
Readers have been reaching out more and more. Just today, a reader from France called me his "favorite author right now."
Right now, I'm about 85,000 words into the sequel and roughly two-thirds of the way through the audiobook with the narrator. My cover artist is also drawing a propaganda poster for the Valor Guard Corps, humanity's main military in the novel. I'm excited to share it on a future Saturday 😄
Since then, I've been expanding the universe through clothing designs, like the hoodie in the photo. It shows my main alien character, Kaelith Sothrak, pulling the void thread down from the heavens. This is his Promethean punishment, he must work or die…
Here's the link to my novel in case you'd like to read the first few chapters for free!
