What's happenin' everyone? Sorry I have some bad habits and I haven't posted in a while. I've realized that I am writing my fifth book! I have two written but still unpublished but it's cool to think that I've written four books! Currently, I'm writing that's semi-viking setting if like monster hunter and the witcher came together, (at least that's the general vibe.) I really sruggled with it for sometime, but now things are going SUPER GREAT! and I'm seeing a lot of cool things happen. Honestly that's my favorite part about writing stories; eventually they just come to life taking all kinds of twists and turns. I just wanna thank you all for supporting me in my journey. It really encourages me :) Forrest Jones

What's happenin' everyone? So, I decided I'd start acting like a more popular author and try to keep going on this weekly blog. There's just not much to say sometimes ha ha. I think one of things that I struggle with is writing relationships. Which is ironic because I've been married for seven years now in July. It's just something I have to do more of, I know if I work at it I'll get there. I just love action way too much. Also. I really like making up religions and some of the rules there for my books It's a lot of fun. I guess does anyone have any ideas for how to write better romance? maybe more mature ways to lead into a relationship? I would love to have some ideas. I'm afraid I'll write something more teenager, which for this particular book series I'm writing, I don't want. Thanks for reading my books. I appreciate you all. Forrest Jones

What's Happenin' everyone? Blog time again! So, I've been taking a break from my New Kellendria series for some time now and writing a different series that I'm very stoked about! I thought I'd just write today about one of the strange oddities of writing. I'm sure you've all heard "the characters write the story", well, its definitely true! It's so weird to me because I'll have a general layout and idea of what happens, but since I'm mostly a discovery writer, I don't really plan in depth or anything and I swear my characters really do write the story, things change constantly. Another oddity is that I actually get to know the characters as the story unfolds. I never imagined fictional characters becoming real people, but it always seems like they start out a certain way and end a certain way. I will actually get to know them as I create them. Its so interesting. I suppose that the irony of writing. You have to create believable characters and so you soon start to actually see them as real to a degree. Guess that means it's good writing, right? That's all fantasy readers! Forrest Jones

Hey all, I know it's been a minute since I've posted, but I figured I'd wait til some stuff actually happened to write. Book two of New Kellendria is available for pre-order except it's still missing a cover, which is almost done. Book three's first draft has been done as well and an entirely new series is done as well, (the first book, third draft). Then I've started writing book one of my biggest book series yet, which will be five books. It's exiting :) that's pretty much an update on that :)
whats happenin' week 12?
Hey all! what's happenin'? Sorry I didn't get to the post last week. I've finally gotten over the slump of book three! Also, I have several cool covers for book two that I'm excited about. I was a little embarrassed to advertise my book to people because I really don't feel it's that good compare to whatever else is out there, however, that's absolutely bollocks. My story is great and I've worked very hard on, so I should be proud of it and I need to grow my fan base which only happens by talking about it. Appreciate all of you for your fan base and support! Forrest Jones
whats happenin'? week 11!
Hey everyone! what's happenin?! Not too much going in this week, except I've been reading branching out a bit to read more thriller stuff. I really want to enhance my writing a bit to be allow more creepy or adult when needed, so I decided to read and even watch some different stuff :) Book three is getting close to being completed with its first draft, but I'm still not sure how or if the original ending will work out because its kind of long already ha ha. Book two, like always, is going strong :) and I've already thought of more cover ideas. I find myself working on some other books as well, because I've been struggling to find the exact flow for book three, so that's a bit frustrating. Oh well, take it as it comes I guess.
what's happenin'? week 10
What's happenin' everyone? A few cool things have happened this week! I finally know how to rest of book three of New Kellendria is going to finally track to end. Its been a struggle to get things going and its nice that things are going so smoothly now! Book two is finally and officially in the final stages of editing! So I'm excited about that. I also have quite a few ideas for covers as well, I'm excited to post those ideas and get a vote from people on what is the most popular cover. Also, I'm on Good Reads if anyone wants to know which I thought was pretty cool! Because I'm so new to everything in the fan world, I still feel as if I'm very unofficially an author, which is fine, but I'm excited to see where things go as more book get out there :) Appreciate all of you amazing readers! Forrest Jones
what's happenin' week 9
What's happenin' everyone! I've been doing this blog for almost ten weeks! It's crazy! So, book two is on the second round of edits! I'm excited, it's on track for the thanksgiving release. I've been struggling with book three, but it's about halfway done and I finally had a breakthrough of how to lead up to the epic conclusion! Oh! and I'm on Good reads as well, so that's exciting because I just found another review of my The Lost Prince which I'm thankful for. Appreciate you all, Forrest Jones Fantasy
what's happenin' week 8
Hey everyone!
what's happenin? Not much to really talk about, wish I had more of a following ha ha, but I'll get there. I've been lacking in the darker writing aspect and so I decided that if Brandon Sanderson can read Steven King, then maybe I should read something like that as well. So I listened to a really great book called Hunted by Darcy Coates! It was fantastic, definitely more thriller than horror, which I appreciated. I wish i had read the physical book because she is phenomenal at descriptions and I could really benefit from taking notes a lot of things!
So, I know I'm not supposed to leave my genere, but I really enjoyed it. Also, book two is on pace to come out soon! We're just about to do second edits :) in the meantime I'm writing book three and surprisingly more than halfway done! (I think) I'm almost two hundred pages in so that's awesome because it's been a challenge to write if I'm being honest ha ha.
Anyway, that's all. Thanks for all those who do support me :)
