Patience is a virtue of writing...better be

Publishers and agents have their own time tables, and it sure isn't on my schedule. In the waiting game of responses I've completed another round revisions. Book two had been started earlier, and I will soon delve into it again, if it wasn't for those one or two nagging maps I need to finish. Labeling these is the hardest part...unless I take up very tiny calligraphy. Carry on....

What have you created today?

A little dryness in writing needs -- inspiration. It's not too far away. Look around, look it up, look within. Be inspired. Now write something.

Things I'd like to say

Mont Eldalard and Rivar Larin, Seat of Ainiald (Chapter 10) (ok, it's really Prague, or maybe Budapest, but they have their similarities) I have to admit, finding a sale pop up, and they do trickle in slowly, is the inspiration needed to keep going. I write slowly, time constraints mostly, and as chapter two of book three stares me in the face, it makes me think -- "will anyone like my series?" Heck, does anyone like this blog? But I march forward. Maybe I'll be next Herman Melville whose Moby-Dick found popularity long after his death. Somber thought. I could give writing tips, like a lot of blogs do, or marketing advice, or how to find an agent, but what the heck do I know. But I do have a story to tell, and I hope you like it. If you don't like it, that's ok...we're still friends. All right, back to chapter two. "Andro entered a favorite place in the forest..."

My Pages! Beginnings...or Chapter One.

The blog is evolving. As I learn, and there is so much to learn, my attempt is to peak interest in my storytelling. Up until now I just put links here and there, but now I have seperate Pages (above) to show things like Maps and Reviews. Beginnings is Chapter One in one piece. The Createspace sample was ugly and hard to read. On the blog it looks kinda nice. Passage of the Acolyte, I will admit, is a patient read; but not obnoxiously long-winded or boring. You be the judge. Once you find yourself settled, the ride may be a pleasant one. Check it out and see for yourself. (go ahead....click it)
