Yes, the blog has gone dormant and that is bad. If you are a writer, don’t do this. I always do everything the hard way. Anyhow, the blog will be bursting back to life right around July 28th. I will be starting with two book reviews that are especially dear to me. Then there will be posts about things that interest me from angels to demons to beer to castle ruins. Interspersed will be book reviews and then the Library which will simply feature books that I have found most inspirational over the years.
I wish to go from underrated nobody to a fully functioning author. Most of the reason this place fell fallow in the first place is because I have been concentrating on writing novels. Also, there has been lots of life (and death) going on around me disturbing my misadventures in the fictional realm.
Current status is between 120-140 days until I am ready to hit the query trenches again. I am hoping to be ready November 1st but would not be overly surprised if it becomes February 1st of 2019. Getting an agent will speed my output up greatly as I have been told that writing on contract is far different than writing for that first bite at the apple. I have vastly over-estimated in the past when I would be ready. I do not wish to jump the gun again with my submissions to agents as that has proved unfortunate in the past. I have learned that I must let my book sit and ripen for a good well before revisions can be useful so if 2019 comes and I am still baking my masterwork or going with another of the three books I am working on for submission, I will hardly be surprised.
So I am looking forward to better days…
