Life is a true adventure and every day is another episode of it. Although it seems like nothing interesting is happening right now on my journey, I sat back, looked at everything objectively and realized that plenty of things are going on. There are no news about Royal wars Invasion. I hope my editor will finish the job in two weeks, so I can proceed with further steps. Meanwhile, I’m working on short stories.

The biggest trap we can all fall into is that we know everything. I’m very confident in my storytelling skill, but I’m always open for improvement. Short stories are one way of getting better in writing, especially in writing in English. As you probably know, I decided to write and publish at least one short story a month. Many of those stories will be free to read, but with some I plan to make some money through Patreon or in some similar way.

This way I can get your response, your opinion and review of the stories which can help me improve even faster. Of course, I’ll do my best to provide you with the quality work at the same time. I deliver to you and if you wish you can leave a comment about how you like or don’t like the work. Both is acceptable, of course.

Now onto stories. I already published one, regarding the current situation in the world and my point of view on the dangers that many people probably don’t think about. Right now I’m working on another story with a more dynamic plot. It’s a sci-fi episode which is a part of a bigger story.

Recently I started studying space and the more I did it, the more inspired I became to write some fiction around it. There were a lot of topics to choose from, and at the beginning I’ve had a couple of them, but in the end I decided to pick a space archaeology. You, as readers, will be able to follow a captain Plamen and his crew on a small explorer ship named Ancient deer (that’s the title of the saga, by the way). They found a strange stone with a code on it which pointed them towards a certain location. That’s were the adventure starts.

Throughout the story, I wanted to share some perspectives on life in general. For instance, we rarely think from the perspective of a human living on Earth. We usually think as citizens of a certain country. I wanted to put you in a different position. Now it’s not about your nationality, it’s about your origin, your mother planet. Of course, the first episode doesn’t touch that subject entirely, but it touches some others which can make you think about your life differently.

After all, with this article I wanted to share my current position regarding the publishing. I’m closer to that moment with each day, but sometimes it’s really challenging to be patient and keep believing that one day my books will be on digital bookshelves. As always, I’m doing my best to stay optimistic and positive, and keep my vision in focus. I also want to thank all of you who are supporting me in any way on my journey. I can’t wait to share my best works with you. We are in this together.

Thank you for reading. All the best.
