Focus - such a scarce resource in this day and age. I’ve been abusing mine as if it’s infinitely abundant.

I’ve been stretched thin between five publications, writing a new novel, translating an existing one, and - let’s not forget - trying to make a living elsewhere, while being a father. 

It was frustrating and unsustainable. With a heavy heart, I must admit I’ve largely abandoned four of those publications and chosen to dedicate all my energy, time, and focus to just one.

Which one? 

The one that spoke to me the most.

The one that let the ideas in my head crawl onto the page in the most interesting and quirky ways imaginable.

The one I find most challenging and rewarding to create.

Coincidentally, it’s the one with the fewest readers, because of course it is.

The other publications will live as an archive. I’m not burning any bridges, despite the “manly” urge to see things burn, but I will give Zediction my full focus unless I realize my mistake or meet a fairy sage master who smashes some sense into me.

Doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result, is the definition of insanity. And so, the bigger risk lies in not making a change and venturing outside my comfort zone.

I guess we’ll see how it goes. For those who don’t know what Zediction is about, check it out. It’s weird, and it’s fun! There’s fiction and things that walk a thin line between real and imagined, explored through stories and “out of this world” conversations.
