Another day of writing

Well, had a great start at the second book yesterday.  However, I did find out that the 10,000 plus words that I had written had disappeared down to a little over 1,500.  I’m going to write that off to the word gremlins.  I think I’ll have to set traps out for them.  I wasn’t too upset with that though as I wasn’t all that happy with the start anyway and gave me a chance to write a better beginning.  I’m glad the Prologue was still there as I did really like that aspect.

Finishing up this writing session today and made it through a dialogue  aspect that was giving me a hard time.  Sitting at just about 5,000 words as we speak.  I am not sure where the next part of the book will lead.  It will be interesting to find out.  Sometimes the book just seems to head in its own direction.

The sun has come out and it’s hard for me to not go play in it. So, I think I’ll succumb to its call.  I started getting my road bike ready for a quick pedal down the roads but found the front tire flat.  Apparently the gremlins were very busy.  I’m not really in the mood to find my spare and change it so it’s off to work on the Jeep.

Life is good! I hope everyone has a great day!

Back at it again

I am starting to work on the second book in the “A New World” series today.  I left it about 10,000 words in after finishing the last book to polish up the first book and get it published.  That took a little longer than anticipated but now I’m eager to get back to it.  The thoughts of this next book and the ones after in the series have started rolling through my head again.  I finally slept the entire night through – the first in a long while – and so the energy is high.  I am actually surprised I’m not glowing.

I was just contacted by another publisher asking for the manuscript to review and so there is still some stuff to do on the first book today before I get started.  Plus the tons of laundry generated from the airsoft event this weekend.  I am still quite sore from that but a great time was had by all.

There is also a Jeep battery to take care of.  Okay, I’m off to get started and wish everyone a very happy and pleasant day.

Book is published at long last!

I have finished the first book in a series that has been going through my mind for the past several years and finally published it.  It is about what I would actually do in the event of some world-ending event – or at least a mankind ending event.  It is out on Amazon, Lulu, and Smashwords.  Soon to be followed at Borders, Sony, iBookstore and Barnes and Noble.

I am about a quarter of the way through writing the second in the series – although almost the entire series is written in my mind.  Maybe I should just drill a hole – another one that is – in my head and let it just fall onto the paper.  I sure wish it worked that way.

The story itself is a survival horror story written in the first person as if I was actually living through it.  A virus, or actually, the antidote kills off a majority of the population and genetically altered another large percentage into a ferocious new species.  I have tried to keep things within my means of actually accomplishing.

This first book is about the first few days of the world-ending event; rescuing the kids and the journey to rescue a girlfriend.  The second will be about the return trip.  I am going to try and not give any spoilers out here.

The web site itself will deal primarily with the book but will also include posts of day to day thoughts.  Most of those thoughts center around quantum physics and the reality around us.

I hope you stay tuned and please feel free to leave comments and such.  I hope this day finds you well!
