I’m really excited to share the news that Lauren, my editor extraordinaire, has received my second draft of My Last Days and has begun her journey on removing all of my unnecessary commas, overuse of characters thinking out loud, and she’ll probably point out how my main character’s a moron or something equally overlooked by […]
There’s four major eBook providers, well three major ones and then Google. Of those major players (Google, Apple, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon), only Amazon lets you make your book free for a period of time. You get five days every six months to make your book free. I had good luck with it when […]
I worked for UPS for exactly 1 week in my early 20s. It was intense but also more terrible than anything else in my life. This story details that week of my life.
I can’t believe it’s been over a month since my last update. In fairness, I took a week off from everything – which is very unlike me – to move and get settled into my new place. As I sit at my desk in my new office, the sound of morning commuters zipping by on the road, […]
I’m chugging away like a madman on the second draft of My Last Days, editing out long unneeded parts, making my characters stronger and solidifying the story itself. By my math, I’m about 30% done with the second draft and Lauren (my editor extraordinaire) is ready in the wings for when I’m done and will […]
I’ll admit that I’ve been feeling a little defeated lately. The lack of sales of A Sour Chord – though mostly my fault for not really marketing it – have me questioning why I’m even doing this. Not because I want the money, that’s not – and never has been – what this is about. […]
I published A Sour Chord on May 18th of this year and immediately went back to work on My Last Days, trying to finish that book’s first draft. Since then, sales of A Sour Chord have dropped off significantly, selling maybe one or two copies a month on Kindle or iBooks, none on the other […]
In the late 90s, I met a lot of my friends online. This story is about a girl I met (through someone else online) and eventually invited her over for dinner when she was going to be in town.
I’ve got a handful of people reading My Last Days right now. Not to tell me that I missed a comma or a closing quote or the like, but to tell me what they think of the story. I read through it twice when I finished the first draft and I’m not fully sure that […]
A friend of mine and I liked to drive around together after work, just seeing where we’d end up. One night, we ended up at Hampton Beach and stopped on a bridge to look at the water. The cops pulled us over, thinking we threw a gun over the side.
It seems like it flew by once I started working on, it really did. Once A Sour Chord was published and for sale, I started hitting My Last Days again. And hit it hard I did. The total word count is just over 92k, and the story seems to all warrant such a word count. […]
Perhaps that’s not the best title for a blog post, but it’s true. The end is, in fact, near. The end of the first draft of My Last Days, that is. If all goes according to plan, I should finish this week and start my first round of edits either this weekend or early next […]
