What makes you feel nostalgic?

What Makes me feel nostalgic?

Answer: When I am writing, I love traveling into another world. The Truson S.E.T. series does that a lot for me when it comes to this. I can a vision a world that seems impossible on this Earth right now but not impossible in the world I create.

Slowly but surely coming back…

Hi! Dominique Gibson is back with another post.

So, it’s been a little bit of a rocky road when it comes to my writing. For the first time in four whole months, I have finally managed to go back to doing my first love, which is writing. I have been doing very successful so far when it comes to typing up the first draft of my book, Lex, which I will admit it hasn’t been completed yet. I am happy to be going back to writing and hoping that 2026 will be the year that I will finally be able to finish my projects in 2026.

First project: Lex

This will be my spinoff series that involves one of the characters in the first and second book of the Truson S.E.T. series. It will be somewhat different from the regular books from the Truson S.E.T. series. I will have more details to come.

Second project: Courtney’s Redemption

This is the project that I had sent over to my editor earlier this year. I will be going over her notes and fixing whatever I need to fix so that I can make the manuscript stronger than what it is now.

Third project: The Reinmans

Ahhh! This project was supposed to be released this year but things turned a different direction to where I wasn’t able to do so either. My hope is that it will finally be released in 2026. This also went through some editing that I need to go back and review as well.

That’s all for now, See you soon.

The future of my writing: Where do I go from here?

Hello! Dominique Gibson is back with another post. After taking a three month hiatus from writing these posts and my newsletters, I decided that I really miss writing and want to go back to doing it again. There has been so much that has been going on in my life lately including adjusting to my new home in another country, having to make different plans when it comes to switching jobs (I am still in teaching but realized that the job I currently have now is not the right fit for me), and having the time to finish a written project I started a year ago that I still want to finish today. My hope is that I will be able to finish it before the new year starts. In the meantime, I still want to be in the process of rewriting the first two projects I started earlier in the year (Or was it last year?).

Harlequin Home

This year has been a year of disappointments when it came to my side of writing for Harlequin. As much as I wanted to finish the category romance course I paid for, I couldn’t do it. I was so mad at myself for this because I became so strong in the beginning only for me to fail towards the end of it because of the new transition that took place once I started my new job in South Korea. As much as I love category romances, I just don’t see myself writing a category romance unless they bring back something that is similar to Harlequin Nocturne where they had a line pacifically for paranormal romances. I would love for them to even bring back the Harlequin LUNA line, which if I am not mistaken, was a line that was for fantasy, paranormal, and sci-fi romance for single title books (Nocturne was for category romance books only).

I have tried many times to write contemporary romances over the years but I will admit that it doesn’t hold my attention as much as writing paranormal romance novels. In a few days, I will be stepping into another area of the genre world that I thought I would never step into but I am finding myself becoming more fascinated by it day by day. The genre? ROMANTASY. Yes, you read that right. Even though I have read Fourth Wing and enjoyed it a lot, I never thought in a million years I would be writing something that might be similar to it. However, this has given me inspiration that could fall in line with my current book series in the near future.

In four days, I will be taking yet another writing course (Which they said I can watch and take anytime I want as long as I complete the full price for the course) sponsored by AutoCrit called ‘Enchant and Entangle: A Six Week Romantasy Masterclass’ where for six weeks, three bestselling authors will provide all sorts of tips, tricks, and guidelines to write a bestselling romantasy novel that captures readers’ attention. Unlike Harlequin category romances where they mainly focus on contemporary romances on ordinary people going through regular problems in the modern world, this class will focus on romance and fantasy blended in to create a story that the readers will want to read.

So, how will this class help me when it comes to the Truson S.E.T. series? Well, I do have plans in the future to include dragons in my stories (Half-human, half-dragons to be exact) just like I do with regular animals now (orcas, dolphins, sharks, etc.). However, this won’t be just with any dragons, they will have superpowers of their own as well. Some might have powers that have already been done before (based on the research from the internet) while there might be powers that are combined. I don’t know how it will work in the future exactly but I am pretty sure that people might really take an interest in this in the future.

I did have a lot more to say when it came to this post but I don’t want to make it too long so I decided that I will just end it here and come back next week with a new post. Happy Reading! See you soon.

The Longest Break Ever: Why I have been MIA

HI! Dominique Gibson is back with another post.

I know that it’s been a while since my last post. There have been reasons for this. One of the reasons is because I have had a new job that has been taking up all of my focus, time and energy when it comes to the one thing I have been passionate about since I was eight years old: Writing.

My New Job in South Korea

Yes! You read that right. I have officially moved from my home back in the United States to South Korea back in August of 2025. Based on everything that has happened within the last few months, I do not regret my decision of moving from one country to another. For right now, it seems like South Korea will be my second home for now. Not only have I relocated into a new apartment, I have also had a new job as well. When I have time, I will probably show you some of the pictures I have when it comes my whole adventure when it came to me traveling from the United States to South Korea.

New Job, New Responsiblity = Less time to write???

But I will admit that with this new job that I have is now, it comes with new responsiblities! I have been doing a lot of paperwork, grading papers, making artwork and various other tasks that I have to do when it comes to this new job. Whenever you have new tasks when it comes to a new job, it always comes with a new way of doing things. However, it has not been easy when it comes to juggling this new job with my time to write. The desire to write has been in my heart for months now but as far as trying to make it work when it comes to my new schedule, I just can’t see this happening right now.

A Future Update

I will be providing a future update when it comes to my life in general as I will be switching gears when it comes to my job and will make sure to keep you posted. But for now, my hope is that I will be able to continue to write, post videos, and more on my writing endeavors. I am pretty sure you have missed my content and I have certainly missed posting on my website as well as my other videos as well. In the meantime, if anyone is interested in learning about how to obtain a seven-foigure income from writing, here is a video I looked at earlier today that talked about this subject.

That’s it for now. See you soon.
