My next Work

 My next major work

    So apart from my video series, To Love Perfectly, Poetry and Sayings, I am starting work on another book. It will have some debauchery to say the least. But I'm not doing it for the sake of being some delinquent. I'm writing a Historical-Fiction Tragedy about my hometown of Gig Harbor and I have it set from the year 2000-2018. I was really fond of Hamlet when I first read it and I really wanted to write a Tragedy. A good one. So I've decided to write a story about the fall of Gig Harbor if you will and I do it through social commentary and tragedy. It's kind of like the Brother's Karamazov but if it was written about Croation Catholics and a bunch of debauchery showing the decline a social deuteriation of the family and society from 2000-2018. I also wanted to showcase gang violence because I don't think that's been done before in a novel especially if there is any novel that takes place in Gig Harbor. I also use this gang to show a distortion of Fraternity and brotherhood and defending each other. Kind of like a mix of the mafia and yakuza but in Washington State. They aren't the main "villains" if you will but they play an essential part. I'm writing this book to show the flaws of modernity, how it happened, how we can face it and how goodness dies.

Why I chose the time frame for the setting

    I decided to choose 2000-2018 mainly because I was born in GIg Harbor in 2006 and then I left it in 2011 and so I figured it'd be easier to showcase youth in Gig Harbor not from the perspective of a toddler but rather children and the entanglement of parents and adults. Also, it was a time where Gig Harbor turned drastically away from religion. There's been some revival with an influx at Saint Nicholas (my home parish where I've received 3 of my sacraments) I have it end in May of 2018 because that would be 4 months before I returned back to Gig Harbor to see what it is now. From 2000-2018 Gig Harbor Changed a lot. It was a devout and quite society that has expanded and deteriorated in its culture and heritage. It no longer honors it's quaint uniqueness and it persists in letting itself be abused by developers.

Purpose of Characters 

    Compared to my last work To Love Perfectly I've decided to have more characters that are more cartoonish in personality if you will. Not because this work isn't serious but to kind of ease the reader from the weight of the debauchery that happens. There's affairs, death, all sorts of evil and vile things. But I'm not writing some erotica. I'm writing a book that shows how these effects the atmosphere of the people that are put into it and choose not to do anything about it. I also decide to make the main charachter 2-dimensional on purpose. He's meant to represent all goodness and virtue he's not meant to change. He suffers because of what goes on around him but he is avid and does not change his beliefs for his beliefs he holds steadfast to.

My Plan

    I'm hoping to make this work more big and reach a wider audience. If I make enough money from sales of To Love Perfectly or my poetry and sayings book then I'm gonna try doing some more marketing. What sucks about being a self-published author is that I'm responsible for all of my marketing. I'm basically a one man show. I don't have any publishing companies picking it up and seeking publishing companies is expensive and cost a lot of work to get rejected. I'm much rather get rejected outright than be lead on if you will. So if and hopefully when I do marketing, I use one of the Barnes and Noble resources (which cost money) or other marketing resources and get it more out there to the world (which also cost money). To Love Perfectly was my debut work and show what it means to love perfectly and to find completion. This work that I'm working on is to show how modern society is, how it deteriorated and how it has killed goodness and, in the end, how goodness can give us hope to rebuild it and protect it in such a way we elevate our souls.
