Hi there. I figured it was time for me to dust off this blog and make a post, even though there may only be two visitors to this place. What the hell, right?
As I mentioned over six months ago, I decided on a global reset of the book. Once I had found the time to read it over and try to continue, I realized that it had completely gotten away from me. I had drifted from my original idea too far and there was really no hope of bringing it back. The storylines were just too different and had diverged so far making it a tough read. I also had second thoughts about the beginning, knowing that when I had given a copy to a friend, he didn't get past the first three pages.
So, here I am. Square one. Well, I wouldn't say that. My second attempt is progressing well. The storylines are tied together very well, I have the entire contents of the book planned out and I know what will happen. This is a change because I was doing most of the last book from the hip, which I discovered and many of you fellow writers will say is the wrong way to do it.
As of this moment, I have written ten chapters. To date, it's 58 pages of single spaced type. I managed to save a few pieces from the old book and wrap them neatly into the new one. My initial reviewers have given me plenty of feedback and cleared a few fuzzy parts up. When I finish and get published, they will be the first to receive signed copies.
There might be a possibility of having a booth at next year's Otakon. Gotta pimp my book, and I think that kind of crowd will like it.
