Jon Cronshaw's Author Diary - The Real Life of an Indie Author | Writing | Publishing | Disability

Dive into this week's Author Diary as I share exciting progress on my latest writing project, revisit a favorite novel, and indulge in musical creativity.

📖 Progress on "The Knight and the Rebel":

This week, I've reached an important milestone in "The Knight and the Rebel" (Ravenglass Legends book 3), hitting the midpoint of Maja's POV. It's a pivotal moment that's both challenging and thrilling, as it shapes the direction of the story and deepens the narrative layers.

🎸 Rediscovering Music:

Alongside writing, I've been reconnecting with my musical side, playing music and writing songs. Returning to this creative outlet has been refreshing and invigorating, providing a wonderful balance to my literary endeavors. The joy of crafting melodies and lyrics reminds me of the interconnectedness of all creative expressions.

📺 & 📚 From Screen to Page:

I've just finished watching "The Three-Body Problem" on Netflix and decided to revisit the novel by Cixin Liu. Watching the adaptation brought new insights and perspectives, compelling me to dive back into Liu's intricate universe in the book. It's fascinating to compare the visual and textual interpretations of such a complex story.

As I balance writing, music, and reading, I'm reminded of the richness that diverse creative practices bring to my overall artistic journey. I look forward to seeing how these varied influences will weave into my future projects.
