There are some things that harder for me to write, but I never thought that one of those things would be describing dancing. Maybe it’s because I have a rare medical condition.
It’s a crippling disease
I will, however, try to do my best to get through this scene so I can get Tyro and her beau Ghislain to their attempted train robbery on time. What’s more Wild West than a train robbery? What’s more Weird West than having the train robbery foiled by Frankenstein’s Monsters?
The novel is coming along as well as it can. I really don’t think I can hit the deadline, but then again – are we surprised? If you are, you must be new to this blog. Welcome! Hope you have fun here. I’m not going to stress this one because I have a good excuse this time: I’m editing The Show Must Go On for agent viewing, so it’s work related. I am double checking every detail, reading over every line to tweak it to be the best it can be. Regardless whether or not I get a favorable pitch in April, I am going to send it out to every agent and publisher that’s dealing with horror. It’s time to get serious about these things.
I’m also working on fleshing out my vampire novel Forever Junkie. I really like the notion of blood being like a drugs, and that each vampire is affected differently. The main character gets it like a hit of heroin, his maker is like a meth head and the big bad villain gets a PCP-like effect. I am trying to really make my vampires stand out from the field, but since I’ve played this game that’s a little harder than usual. I don’t want to give anything away, so that’s all I am going to say about this for now.
Speaking of editing, I am about 20% (give or take, I’m not a math wizard) into The Show Must Go On and boy…am I a bad typist. I know it’s a running joke here, but how many times can I misspell ‘the’? Don’t answer that. I realistically can’t count that high. I’ve also found out I repeat things. I think in one chapter, I brought up the same factoid three times. They say that re-writing is the real writing, and I am starting to believe them. I just need to have a free weekend to enact those changes, since I want to have the first ten pages ready for reading.
I think that’s all for now. I’m going to go to bed and try to work out some things. Good night.
