Update #7: I lied

Hello! I would like to preface this by saying pretty much everything I’ve been working on this past year had nothing to do with what I had planned on in my last update. My saving up for a house turned into buying a very nice car, which will definitely serve me with my next endeavor. More on that to follow.

I completely forgot to post about Pied Pipers, but I will be doing so soon unless I forget again.

I was being honest about working as an EMT on the ambulance, but I am no longer a poorly paid one. Because of the politics and finantial situation of many of the Ambulance companies, I was able to negotiate myself a very nice pay raise. I’ve gotten a ton of experience working with patience and working through some stressful situations. It has given me a lot of insight as to how the medical field works, which is going to be invaluable in my next endeavor. Now, while being an EMT is fun, I do not see myself doing this for the rest of my life.

As you all may know, I reset my sights from real estate back to medical school. I am happy to announce I have been accepted and start this June! It’s been a long journey, and I am very grateful for the opportunities I’ve had along the way. It was a long, winding road to get to this point, and I don’t forsee it getting any straighter in the future. I do not know if I will be able to post with more or less frequency once I start, so only time will tell.

I did not lie about my book in the previous post though. I was able to complete the rough draft and went through a couple rounds of editing. There are going to be some more rounds as my alpha reader pointed out some points that need improving. I haven’t gotten around to working on this set of edits yet because of dealing with medical school minutia as well as trying to figure out how to pay for school. That said, I stumbled across a plan for my first ever writing project. I mentioned in a previous post that I wanted to rewrite The Specter Chronicles, this time with a new and improved plot. I believe that I have the beginning of a very good pathway for Adam Witicker and his fight against the forces of post apocalyptic America. This is something I am very excited about and will be posting the first couple of chapters once I get them written.

While the future continues to change, I am very excited for what lies ahead.
