Well, I’m down one but I’m not surprised. I queried with the previous letter that I wasn’t happy with. I have yet to Query this year. I’ve been networking and seeing who I can talk with in my area. My mom found someone who knows some writers, so I’m hoping I can get some goodContinue reading “The Quest #19”

Flash Friday # 6
With the Terror Beast of Akuma Seven They were with the Terror Beast of Akuma Seven. With, trapped by, same difference. The large slug-like creature pulled itself off Emer, portly mother of two, and began oozing its way toward its last two victims. Emer lay screaming on the ground, just like the other fifteenContinue reading “Flash Friday # 6”
Flash Friday # 5
What Eats the Sun and Moon It was months of work through the caves just to stand here. Beyond that, it had been fifteen years since Sven set about trying to discover the lost treasure of the Oa’Koto’kiti people. Three times various teams he’d hired had given up and quit the job. Well, thoseContinue reading “Flash Friday # 5”
Flash Friday #4
(oops, a day late) The Beast Wears Faces There was a cave. A cold, wet cave. I shuddered as I walked the lonely road up twisted paths to reach it. I could hear the air coming up from the cave like vast gasping breaths. I climbed the narrow path, where few had been before. IContinue reading “Flash Friday #4”
The Quest #18
Numbers. Up one. I feel more confident with my reworked query letter. A friend of mine recently read through the book I am querying and gave me notes. I will be turning the notes into an improved book over the coming week. That means that my book is going from draft 3.55 to draft 4.Continue reading “The Quest #18”

The Last Pope The penultimate election had been contentious. Naturally. In the old days, the elections had been a fight. People died. Of course, times changed and so did the church. The process was established. More politics, fewer daggers. But then, times changed so much. Suddenly, there weren’t as many Catholics around, or any oneContinue reading “Flash Friday #3”
What I read this year
So here is the list of the books read this year. Last Year I read a lot of Terry Pratchet, until I felt I had done everything I wanted to. This year I listened to a bunch of books, but read many as well. With more books on Spotify available on my plan, I listenedContinue reading “What I read this year”
Flash Friday #2
Beep Ernest’s back hurt. It hurt most days. He pulled it somewhere in his youth and it never recovered. Some days were better than others. Today was bad. He was sat at his desk, alone in his office. Office was a generous word, really. It was a blank white room without a window. A singleContinue reading “Flash Friday #2”
The Quest # 17
Posts have been wonky with Thanksgiving, but should be back to normal going forward. I over ate and lost a bowling competition, despite bowling a Turkey in the warm up round. I have one new query using my new query letter. Let’s hope it works out. I feel it is stronger now. I workshopped itContinue reading “The Quest # 17”
Flash Friday # 1
Oops The Aliens came, a grand fleet descending to earth. Thousands of ships, all together. They came to invite us to the stars. They gave us means to travel faster than light, and medicine that cured cancer in a day. We celebrated for a full week, ready to take to the stars. We showed themContinue reading “Flash Friday # 1”
