I'm working on some town histories now for places in the Prokiruan Republic, finally. I think I have two of the necessary ones at least started, if not finished, for locations represented in the GTL for Prokiru. But I'll probably need to do up to ten more of them for certain places in that fictional nation very soon, I think, if nobody else helps me with them in the near future on these forums.

Different stories of mine may require different baseball-related setups when they're related to the relevant stories or the characters within those stories, but I'll still try to focus on only one dynasty at a time, just the same. I still haven't made any more progress with my current main story, though, of late. And there are several other currently-existing and yet-uncompleted stories that I definitely need either to write at least a bit more for, if not a lot more for, or to post already-written content for, elsewhere on the Net.

Writing down various things periodically is one of the specific personal talents that God ultimately gave me to use, I firmly believe, in order to do His work that He gave me to do as best as I possibly can with in this life. However, I'm still having some rather considerable trouble doing enough of it of late, to be sure. And I have largely been having that trouble for several weeks, if not for at least a month or two, unfortunately.

I know the stories will come when they come, Lord willing, of course. But it is still rather frustrating to have writer's blocks and all pop up from time to time, especially major ones, at that. I know what I would like to have happen in this current chapter that's giving me fits now, at least generally speaking, but I'm still stuck on its second scene, and have been for a while. I figure I'm about nine or so pages into a chapter that will likely need at least 20-25 pages for it, seeing as the chapter is still in the middle third of the entire story as it now stands.

If I can just get to the end of chapter 17, I think the rest of the story should be much easier to write, for then I'd probably only have one major chapter left for the story, that being the second-to-last chapter of the entire story in question. That chapter would have the final battle scene or scenes, and then the last chapter should hopefully wrap up the story well, and lead into the next potential one for a possible series of stories. Lord willing, of course, that is.

I basically know what I want to have happening in the rest of the story, for sure. But my getting from where I am now to the entire story's ultimate conclusion has yet to be fully worked out and written down and all. And doing so well enough to make it believable enough and logical enough and readable enough may be a real challenge for me here, I think, if I'm not too mistaken here, folks. There is definitely potential in this story, but it's still going to need a great deal more work on it to make it something worth potentially publishing for profit, in any case.

This current main writing project of mine is probably one of the most challenging writing projects I've ever begun work on, if not the most challenging one to date, in more than thirty years of writing off and on through most of my life. I began trying to write stories when I was fifteen, and have often spent countless hours trying to work on my skills and all. Yet, I'm still exhibiting a lot of the same bothersome habits I had when I was roughly a third of the age I am now, for sure. I'm not necessarily as bad on average now at writing as I was then, I believe, but I still clearly have a lot of things I still need to work on as a writer.

Sorry if this post seems too long for you and all, but I'm trying to get some thoughts out here to try to deal with some of the frustration I'm still currently having in relation to my writing and certain other creative abilities I've tried to work on improving for a while, every so often, in any case. I'll try to keep posts here shorter, and more germane to the primary intended purpose or purposes of this thread, but right now, I'm at least a little bit neurojumbled, so to speak, when it comes to certain creative endeavors of mine in my life. Not totally, mind you, but at least a little, for sure.

Thank you all for your time and attention and all here, everyone. Please pray that I'm better able to progress with creativity-related endeavors and all soon in my life, Lord willing and all, of course, then, if and when you like and can. CD out.
