Alright, so I'm back in the proverbial saddle again. Got a real-life jolt that put things into perspective, which is always a good thing.
Blood Stone is going to be edited and needs a lot of work, but that's fine. It's already written (as the beginning of a trilogy).
I am reading two really good books (at the suggestion of author Randy Henderson): 'Book Life' by Jeff Vandermeer and 'Story Engineering' by Larry Brooks. In retrospect, I wish I would have read those before writing Blood Stone, but meh, if wishes were horses, right?
Anyroad, I've decided to use some of my new found knowledge (from those books) to write some short fiction. I just finished a short work entitled 'Gravedigger' and will have it hopefully revised by the end of next week so that I can start trying my hand at Query Letters and Submissions (you can tell they're important... I used capital letters). :)
Monday nights are still going strong, though the crowd has thinned due to work or school commitments. Still, my hetero life-mate Evil Dennis and I are pushing through the drop in attendance.
So, that's it for an update, more next week!
As always, thanks for reading and thanks for your support!
