19 Knocked Out -- August 6th, 2008
This chapter ended up being shorter than I thought it would be, but I got everything I needed to get accomplished, done. So, that leaves me with three chapters left to write. Twenty and Twenty-One will have the climaxes, and then the Twenty-two will be wrap-up. Twenty will be my last full length chapter, if there is such a thing. It will be twice as long as the last two, I guess I should say. The last two chapters I could knock out in a couple of days, where as Twenty could take me a week. I hope to have Twenty done by the end of this week, though. We'll see. I have tons of house projects going on right now.

Elated for Eighteen - July 23, 2008
Chapter 18 in Book Five has been completed. Unfortunately, I had to add one more chapter to the end of the book because of the way things are playing out. But that last chapter will be very short. Like 3 pages or less. So, I'm not really adding on that much extra work. I predict I have 32 pages to write or less before this series is done. If I can write 4 pages a day from here on out (8 days worth of writing), only doing business days, that would make my target finish date August 4th. But, with the way projects have been going on around the house, it could be pushed back a few days. However, if I get on a roll, and I can see the end in sight, I sometimes will push harder to finish a book before my predicted deadline. So, it could be as early as August 1st that I finish.

Stories Produce Stories -- July 16, 2008  If you can write fast, you may have an advantage over other writers. Publishers like to put out books that reflect the hot topics in the world. The best place to find those ideas is in the news. And if you can provide a unique angle on a story, your chances of getting published increase tenfold. Of course, you actually need to write a GOOD manuscript, and have it nicely edited BEFORE you submit it. Whatever's hot, sells. It's as simple as that. And if you can predict something that could become hot, then you may have a sure thing. Television, radio, newspapers, magazines, and the Internet are the no-brainers to get started. 2008-07-16 12:43:06 GMTComments: 0 |Permanent Link

Artwork for Book 4 Finalized -- July 14, 2008
Yes, at last, the artwork by Steve A. Roberts for the cover of Book Four, The Mirrors of Methalis, in The Snowtear Wars series, has been completed. Unfortunately, I can't attach a photo of the cover here (text not yet added to the image by publisher). I don't want to post it in my blog to be viewed either because I don't think this is the proper place to unveil it, in my opinion. I will post it, however, in "The Bookstore" section of my website once it's ready and up on my publisher's website. Sooooooo, keep your eye out for it there or on my website!
