Hello again, storytellers and strategists!
If it feels like it’s been a minute, that’s because it has ...
Back in August, I dropped a hint about something big for Story Merchants. Even posted a countdown, like my newest idea was the trailer to a premiere worth waiting for. After that teaser, I wanted to make sure what followed wasn’t just big — it had to be game-changing.
Since then, I’ve gone a bit quiet. Building something as ambitious as this next endeavor has taken more than a few late nights. These months of refining, reworking, and rebuilding have been a constant reminder that storytelling is as much about patience as it is about passion.
This week, I’m at Author Nation, reconnecting with the community that’s shaped so much of my creative and professional life. It’s a chance to look back at the people and ideas that helped me grow as a creator — a moment to reflect on what makes stories resonate.
Honestly, Story Merchants isn’t quite ready, but the timing feels right. After writing thousands of well-told stories, I can say with certainty: sometimes, the best time to launch is when the story itself is ready to be told.
