Well, I’ve been rejected by all six of the agents I have approached. Am I going to let this get me down? No! It’s a matter of six down and forty-four to go. After that, I might just self-publish it to get a couple of dollars. If I go that route, I hope to have Serve Me Now and Tribal finished by then. If not (I wouldn’t be surprised), then I am going to put Alien Voices through the paces. Why I’m not going to do it next is because I am still doing the line edit on it and that’s going to take a while. Especially if my computer keeps on resetting for updates. Thanks, Bill.

Speaking of Serve Me Now, it’s coming along slowly, like a lot of my works, but I’m getting to the weight gain and madness part. That’s the part I’ve been waiting to get to, but it’s also looking like the book is going to be getting to be longer than 90,000 words…like it’s gaining weight, too. Unlike my protagonist, I am going to put it on a diet to keep it down to the amount I need it to be. I’ve been told that anything above 100,000 words, especially in horror, is a harder sell to agents and publishers. I need to get every advantage I can get.

I’m also working on a new idea: The Unfortunate Exorcism of Tony “The Fish” D’Epescatore. I think I might have brought it up earlier, but I’m doing the background research on it. I’m learning a lot about the Mafia, the Catholic Church and exorcisms in general. That’s what I love about writing – I get to learn new stuff almost every day. Whether or not this is a good idea…that remains to be seen. I think it’s a good idea, but then again I am biased a little.

I’m also pleased to say that my writing group is getting back together! I’ve missed these people through the holidays and spring. I don’t know what to offer to them first. I might go on ahead and stsart bringing Serve Me Now and get that working. It’s going to delay it because we only meet twice a month, but having other people looking at it will make it a lot stronger.

I think that’s all for now. I should get back to actually writing the books. I hope y’all have a good day! Ta-ta for now.
