Alright. I have added three works to the site. Not complete ones, but parts. All the things I have attached are in PDF form, which I’m not crazy about, but at least it keeps my name on them. The PDF reader doesn’t look to be great on WordPress. If it proves to be too annoying,Continue reading “Reading!”

Flash Friday #31
Bridge Cold mist obscured the other end of the swaying bridge. Mountain winds blew against the creaking wood, shivering the bridge. The stone was slick with water. A small group of men stood on the outcropping, looking into the mist. The crouched against the boulders to hide from the wind, and from what was comingContinue reading “Flash Friday #31”
The Quest #31
One up, one down. So it goes. Back at means getting the rejections back. This last agent had a little box to write why I chose to query her specifically. I wrote something, but I didn’t say the truth. Desperation. I want an agent for this book. I want this book traditionally published. Got toContinue reading “The Quest #31”
Flash Friday #30
Chess Weasel opened the window to the study and slipped in. The large mansion had once intimidated him. Now it was his home. Or as close as it came to one other than the streets. Raymond was where he always was. Sat behind his big desk. Dark wood. It felt like stepping into a library.Continue reading “Flash Friday #30”
So where are the readers?
I’ve been looking for places to post my work. I’ve written a million words of sci-fi/fantasy and I’ve been looking for a place to post some work that will likely not be published traditionally. I’ve been posting on fiction press, a site for internet novels. I had hoped to get readers. Instead, I got spam.Continue reading “So where are the readers?”
Flash Friday #29
Bombardier In the silence of space, the vast hulking shape of the spaceship slowed to a crawl, its engines pointed away. On the diplomatic deck, the governor of the rebellious planet began to make his speech. One about being pushed too far and that she tried all that she could in order to spare theContinue reading “Flash Friday #29”
The Quest #30
Back at it. Two up, none down. I’m using my new query letter and will be going until I have ten queries out at a time. Going to take a bit to get there, but it is a numbers game. I’m not sure that I have much else to add right now. I think allContinue reading “The Quest #30”
Flash Friday #28
Bobbing The storm grew dark and the sea grew green. Waves ten feet tall sloshed over the quay. Crates were thrown against the stone. Thunder roared. In the café, Benny watched it all. He got terribly sea sick and couldn’t go out with his grandfather. What a life, the sea sick son of a sailor.Continue reading “Flash Friday #28”
Finished Book
So the last time I had a non-quest related post I wrote some of my book writing plans. Well, after I posted that and turned my attention to my daily writing, I realized that it would not take much to finish the book. So I finished the book that night. It took about seven hundredContinue reading “Finished Book”
The Quest # 29
No new queries. No outstanding rejections. In the mean time I’ve done a lot of reading of other people’s queries and have changed mine around. I rewrote the central paragraphs describing the plot, and cleaned up the first paragraph. I also added that I had been published before. In hindsight it feels like a bigContinue reading “The Quest # 29”
