  • Echo Volume 2, Weekly Update

    Word Count, Echo Volume 2:  44,816 News:  Ok, my social media break is over!  I think the experiment was very successful, I was able to add around 8-9000 words on to Volume 2, and do a lot of good editing.  I’ll start by thanking my amazing reviewers:  Melissa, Barbara, Ian, [anonymous], and now Lorna!  Thank…

  • Echo, Volume 2: Update

    Ok, feel the need to address this as it is my weekly update, but THANK YOU LORNA LOWE FOR THE 5 STAR REVIEW!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂   I feel a little cheap by only publishing 150 pages for the first volume, which is why I picked the price (the lowest you can go before your…

  • Echo-A Dystopian Science Fiction Novel: Update

    Echo Volume 2 Word Count:  38691 News:  Still on my social media break!  Disciplining myself to do 1000 words a day (except Saturdays, gotta keep one day to myself), and edit 3 chapters a day.  I am up to Chapter 11 in Echo, Volume 2, and in my head I’m roughly halfway done with the…

  • Echo-A Dystopian Science Fiction Novel: Update

    Ok.  Time to adjust.  Had a warning sign yesterday:  I woke up at 2am and couldn’t go back to sleep because I couldn’t stop thinking of the things I’d scheduled for myself.  So as much as it pains me to do so, I’m going to take the last seven to ten days of each month…

    “Write what you know.”  MFAs are known to have difficulty writing about things outside literary academia, And Hemingway used his storied life for amazing inspiration. But I think there’s another way.  Christopher Paolini was only 15 when he began Eragon.  Stephen King has never been some gunslinging knight-errand.  I believe that with a clear/open attention it’s possible…

    Alternate Universe.  Mcdonald’s controls 90% of the Earth, the rest is held by desperate rebel factions.  An alternate Kent Wayne is bought before the Mcdonald’s overlord, a giant mechanized robot that looks like Ronald.  Only this Ronald has missile launchers mounted on his shoulders.  Out of sheer desperation, I toss my eReader open to Echo…

    It seems to be human nature to build ceremony/ritual around how things “should” be.  Spirituality has become wrapped in robes/artifacts/temples.  Fine art smothered in formal wear/expensive wine/snobbery. I like to keep in mind that most spiritual/artistic pioneers didn’t start as stuffy academics or wrist-smacking prudes.  They were often crazy/dangerous explorers, aware of society’s standards but ultimately…

    At school.  I see some punk kids jeering and harassing one of the janitors, an old man who’s just trying to mop the damn floor.  On a whim, I toss my eReader-open to Echo-toward him.  Bright flash, and the old man glows as he absorbs the power of quantum tech, ninja-cyborgs, and zen themes.  His…

    Word Count:  35410 News:  Big thanks to Ashley, who bought Echo this week!  Ashley has been very supportive and made good on her word to buy Echo after fair season was over.  Thanks Ashley!  That motivates me to be on point during the writing process and try to deliver as much entertainment as humanly possible.…
