It’s been a very long day of reaching out and informing people about Scarlet, and hopefully, all goes well with it. Despite the leaps certain projects may take before me, I want to wash away all that preemptive support they have, and work extra hard for those who enjoy what I write. However, this isn’t just about Scarlet--Detective Diaries is another treasure I hold close to my heart, and while the campaign of it is slow, there’s still hope and a chance to turn the tables. I know nothing else but "work harder" nowadays, and I promise to do so by making chapters better, changing up ideas, and discovering new ways of pulling people in.

  

  Besides that, you, the reader--are here today for Progress Update, yeah? Well, sorry to say there won’t be a video this update, for I didn’t anticipate children to come over and be everywhere in sight. Nowhere is safe and suitable for me to be comfortable, and I realize that the only times I could do a proper video would be early in the morning or way late into the night. So, before the day of the Wednesday update, I will do the video, and have it ready for the update beforehand next time. I apologize.

  Still, that doesn’t mean we aren’t gonna talk about some things! I know the beginning of the update seemed heavy, but this last part is all about good news! So, I had got a call from a family member of mine and she told me of a woman who hosts an honorary show-and-tell or sorts in our city and wanted me to come out and speak about my books. Not just one, but both of them! Teenagers, young adults, and elderly will be present from within the city to attend the event, and I’m grabbing my books and running out the door to let people know. I got business cards at the ready, and my speech (somewhat) remembered to entertain them. 

  Lastly, before I leave for work, I’m thinking about doing a audiobook for Detective Diaries and Scarlet. Just keep that in your minds for now.

  Until next time, A.J.III.
