Definitely feeling the need to Write something…
It was late 2011 when I created this Site, with the goal of getting in the habit of Writing an average of 900 or 1,100 Words a day, I believe
For the first year and a half of this site, I did more than that
And during that time I Self Published A Poetry Book, a Novella and a Partial Comic Book
I also wrote the Sequel to the Novella (Self Published it in 2015), and the First and Second Draft of a Fantasy Novel
I then ran a Kickstarter to get money to hire an Editor for the Fantasy Novel, but when it was done, I still wasn’t happy with it…
…so I sat it down
In 2015 I picked it back up, and hired a Second Editor to give a few Chapters a go…
…during that, they asked if they could ReWrite some of those Chapters, and I said yes
When they were done with the first 3 1/2 Chapters, I really liked what they had done
I’m more of a Screenplay Writer, than a Novelist…
…and they had read a lot of Fantasy Novels, and just had the touch when it came to ‘details’
Characters, Character Development, Story and Story Scope are my strengths, which works well for Screenplays, but only offers some of the core elements of a Fantasy Novel I feel, what they added lifted the book
But to hire them to ReWrite the whole book, will be costly
And though I don’t mind the cost, I don’t have the money to do it at the moment
I’ve considered, and am still considering doing a Kickstarter for it, but still haven’t decided
Not only that, but the Editor/Other Writer has a lot of their own projects going on, and even if I come up with the money, I’m not sure they’ll be up for it at the moment
My most recent Writing Project was actually Writing a Module for Dungeons & Dragons, which then took 15 months to get prepared, and finally Self Published
The actual Writing for that project was done early on, but all the other Game related stuff, and hiring of an Artist for the book, took a bit
I Self Published it November 8th, and though I’ve dabbled with my next Module Concept, I’m feeling like Writing more of a book, or something other than a Module at the moment
Maybe it’s the cold weather
Or the Fall/Winter in general, which always makes me more ‘writery’
We’ll have to see
Nuff Said,
Thanks for Listening/Reading
