A new day and yet a while since I have written anything useful on this blog. So, what’s new with me?
Nothing much.
Yeah, that would be the shortest blog ever huh?
Ok, well I have been getting back into the writing, as well as set myself up for 2011. I had recently purchased World Horror Convention tickets for my brother and I. We’re going to Texas! The hotel is booked, so all we need to do now is start saving for our plane tickets and get some extra scratch for spending money. But the money will come to us easily and effortless. That I know! (sorry once more I am explaining part of the secret, but every time I say that line, I find money!)
I have also developed a new character for my vampire series. An immortal by the name of Chimera, her name means precisely what it entails to. But details of that will come a little later, all I can say is that she is African, and the Savanna is her domain. But she isn’t alone….
I am still waiting very patiently to hear from the publishers. I have said that in all my other blogs. It was one month and two days ago when they wrote me to explain they were catching up on some reading and I should have a reply in two weeks at the latest.
I have been tempted to write them, trust me I have fought myself constantly wondering if I should send them a friendly reminder. Yet there is a part of me saying wait. Just wait and see what happens. I know from what I have learned on author’s panels and not to mention from my experience at the World Horror Convention in 2007, that it is considerably rude to write the publishers and press them for an answer. It hurts your chances of getting published, and I don’t want that. I don’t want to be a pushy writer. I have to remember they get hundreds, thousands of manuscripts. And I am a novice writer. No work of mine has ever been published yet. So I am not going to blow my opportunity here by writing and asking if they want the rest of the book.
I have a goal though. By the World Horror Convention in Austin Texas, 2011. I will be a published author! Be it short story or my novel series, my work will be in a book.
In the mean time, I have been on my twitter account if anyone is interested. Nothing earth shattering I have to report, but it will be the first place I announce any big news.
I find it strange that the summer has just blown right by. Believe it or not, I am going to be 26 in the next few weeks. But the bright side is that I am going to spend my birthday at a concert with a fellow music fanatic. I have always wanted to see Disturbed live… and for some reason, I can see David Draiman as one of my immortals. I just love the way he looks and the piercings he has makes him bring out the best of my creativity… then again, I got half of the cast picked out for book when it’s made into a movie.
Well, that’s all for now from me, more updates soon, I promise!
Until then…
Stay thirsty.
