But what's next?!
That's always the question on my mind, I find! What's next?! When you think about it, that's a very sensible question for a voice actor - or any 'freelance' worker - to have on their mind at any one time. When is the next gig? What is the next gig? Can I even get a next gig?
But even in a non-professional sense, I ask this question of myself a lot. You see, I am an [undiagnosed and unmedicated] ADHD Baby. My mind is given to all the lovely nonsense that neurodiverse condition entails. However it also means - whether because of that ADHD or just my own natural restlessness - that I am always looking to the next thing. The next challenge, the next adventure, the next idea, the next story. I have an extremely hard time just sitting down and being still; unless, of course, I am tired and / or exhausted. Then I don't really have a choice.
Has this made it difficult for me to pursue my career? Of course it has. I am forever bemoaning my horrifically short attention span, or my tendency to neglect things (*cough* this website *cough*) but I will admit, it makes for a hell of a ride. And when I do eventually come back to those things I have neglected, it's often with fresh eyes, more experience or even simple nostalgia for the things I've done before.
I like to think everyone has some sense of their personal 'good old days'. I certainly do. But as I sit here, once again turning my eye to this blog and making note of all the areas of this website that are direly in need of updates, I take a moment to look back at how far I've come since i first began in the world of Audiobooks and Voice Acting and I realize, I've made a little more progress than I thought.
As for what's going on right now? Exciting stuff! I'm thrilled to announce that work on the revised editions of Conquerors of K'Tara books 1 (Forebodings) and 2 (First Eruption) is steaming along, with Forebodings nearly ready to be re-released. Book 3 (Second Eruption) is nearly ready for recording courtesy of the incredibly talented L A Di Paolo, and I am, as ever, recording new videos every month for the Trek Central team. Yet more books are also on the horizon, so I certainly have a lot to keep me busy and (hopefully) you all entertained!
So, then, thank you for sticking with me on this journey. I hope there will be plenty of tales yet to tell.
Until next time!
Adam
