I’ve been racking my brain for the better part of 2 years on how to build a community around writing. The first thought was go to a coffee shop and make a space where I can hang out with other writers and write. This is difficult because it requires people to not only make timeContinue reading “A solution to a long standing challenge?”

Official Title?
The title I’ve gravitated the most to is The Rise of Devils. For a dark western sci-fi I feel like it exemplifies exactly what I’m going for. I’m at the second arc currently and I expect the promotional chapters to be available in the fall. I’m excited to see what you all think of it!!

Author Update
If there was an anticipated novel you were eager to read, what kind of updates would you want from the author before the book was published? I just hit 10,000 out of 80,000 words in my sci-fi western. It’s a big milestone and I expect a formal update in the coming months!
Author’s Update
I’m currently outlining a new novel based on the events following Road to Tumbleweed. It’s going to be a post-apocalyptic western. Updates to follow!

It is used for illustration purposes only) The clopping sound of horse’s hooves upon the road alerted the farmer to an armored rider approaching. He was a knight errant from the center-lands, aContinue reading “The Whisper”
Uh-Oh Re-Write Incoming!!!
As it turns out, I don’t think the first chapter of Abberwall is as punching or gripping as it needs to be. I will send out three queries but I will hold off with anything else until the first chapter is re-written, which also means probably no writing contest next week either. BUT! Once itContinue reading “Uh-Oh Re-Write Incoming!!!”
No story this week
I’m not writing a contest story this week because I want to perfect the query package in search of a literary agent. My goal for the month is to detail the content specifically for three lit agents and go from there. I will be querying for the novel “Abberwall”. Wish me luck!!!
The Man Hidden By Light
Harsh light from a torch awoke me from my slumber. The gatekeeper had probably risen early this morning searching for a bite to eat from the larder as per usual. I yawned creaking my wax limbs and shaking the soot from wick atop my head. He would usually visit thirty minutes before the break ofContinue reading “The Man Hidden By Light”
