I really need to start kicking my own ass and sit down to write a proper blog. Sorry folks!
Ok, updates. Well I am currently waiting to hear back from Damnation books on possibly taking on Mythic Blood. I have been looking over other publishers however they seem to be few and far between. More and more am I getting tempted to turn to the dark side once more…. Aka self-publishing.
I had considered this path before, in fact I had saved up money for it, and yet decided to try and go traditional. But there have been so many problems I had encountered, some I didn’t really expect, and yet it has become my main obstacle. Believe it or not, one of the main factors happens to be Twilight.
I had mentioned this before that I am not a fan of the series and since the book gained in popularity, everyone and the kitchen sink has been cranking out vampire novels like crazy. It has shut out people like me who have been writing them long before they were cool and sparkly.
I had taken the time to go over my novel time and time again. I know it needs one final polish before I could even attempt to publish it myself, which was another reason why I wanted to go traditional. I could have a professional look over my work and point out what may been to be fixed or small flaws that I may have over looked and yet they could correct.
You can tell by my blog alone that I need help with various areas like spelling and grammar, it’s no secret, it’s one of my greatest weaknesses. Sometimes not even spell check can help me!
Anywho moving on.
A new year is about to begin, come hell or high water, I will make it my resolution to publish Mythic Blood. Either I get chosen or asked by a publisher or I do this myself. Either way, I want Mythic Blood in the hands of readers in 2011. I will do this, this is my goal, my dream. As well, my dear friend Alexandre Tuis has stated he would like to do a graphic novel.
I would find some way to pay him, but I would want Mythic Blood be his first graphic novel!
Imagine, the lone image of Dante that has been posted for all to see, imagine a whole graphic novel in that artwork? How beautiful would it be? How awesome the story could unfold before the reader as they see the faces of the immortal that I envision in my mind?
How cool does that sound?
Well I shall leave you with this, a hint to a novel down the line. I feel this could very well be one of the most intense novels I make, so here it is.
How do you ask the severed hand of an immortal a question?
