At the end of the first quarter of 2025, I'm ready to take the next step in my creative journey. For the past three months, I’ve been working hard on writing a fantasy novel – a project I’ve dreamed about for years but never dared to start. It’s been tough, but also incredibly rewarding.

The truth is, writing can be a lonely process. I spend hours at my desk, conjuring up characters and stories only I know. And while I talk about the process on my Booktube channel, I’ve realized I want to share even more of this journey.

What if instead of waiting until the book is done to share the story, I share the chapters as I write them? It sounds terrifying but exciting at the same time. And it makes the whole process feel much more manageable.

Here's the plan:

I’ll release the audiobook version of my story chapter by chapter on my Story Secrets podcast feed.

I’ll also share behind-the-scenes content and story walks for my supporters in the private community.

It’s a chance for you to join me on this journey from day one, and to be part of the creative process!

I’m incredibly excited but also a little scared. Sharing an unfinished story is like giving someone a peek into my mind – flaws and all. But I believe this experiment could be something really special.

So if you want to be part of this new adventure, stay subscribed to the podcast and join the community on my Discord server at FatherRoderick.com/discord.

More updates are coming soon! And if you’re feeling generous, your prayers for this crazy, creative experiment would be much appreciated.
