As I’m writing this, I’ve had one of the most exciting days in a while, and that was because after waiting for a long time, I’m now writing to you on a new computer.

I’ll share with you some of the details of what that means and the long adventure of what it took to get here, but here is one point that I will say: for the past several months I have been unable to write Book II on my old computer.
How was I still able to manage writing without a computer?
The truth, it was a God thing: the right devise at hand when one failed. Specifically, I used my iPad.
And before you think I wrote 30,000 plus words by typing my fingers on that thing’s glass screen for the past several weeks, the answer is absolutely not! Lol!
I was able to plug it into my docking station, pull up word perfect, and via keyboard and mouse, continue writing. What did this mean?
It meant that while I was able to write, I was limited to write at locations and times when a monitor screen, keyboard, mouse, and docking station were present. If I wanted to write but those extra devices were not present, it meant no chapters written at that time.
It was nothing short of a praise to God that practically every single time I sat down to write, I was able to have the ability to plug my iPad into a docking station, while I waited to buy a new laptop.
This means that with this new computer, I now have the means to release a lot more—projects that you have been asking about and other projects that I have been planning behind the scenes to launch this summer.
All that to say, I’m writing to you on my new computer to share that I have completed a new chapter this week, bringing the new current word count to 146,615 words!
More to come!
