the short of it...

I had to make some decisions since my short story, Shag Rocks, is only a few paragraphs from finished (also, a couple edits are necessary before the final presentation). I took some good advice, the kind of advice you read in better writing blogs, and that is I should publish my short story.

Yes, I'm going to Kindle it -- at twenty pages, it's far too short for book form. Ninety-nine cents is reasonable, and since 'shorties' are in vogue, maybe I'll gain some new readers. I'll make it accessible for downloading for those who don't want to pay the $0.99, or don't have a Kindle or Nook. Look out for coming details.

And in case you are wondering, the Prince of the Furies, hasn't long to go either. But those big epics take a bit more to work thru, so again, updates are coming.

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)
