Sorry I’ve been out of touch. My life is now busier than ever, and the fact is that baseball season/work isn’t even around yet, so I can’t imagine how busy it will be when that time comes around. I can’t wait for it though. Photography has kept me busy, as it’s now a class I’m taking. Maybe I’ll put some photos up.
My writing has slowed to minimal, which is the way I want it till I offically kick into high gear again Feb. 1st. That’ll also be the day I’m launching my new myspace for my authorial self, hopefully building up some hype for me as an author.
So stick around till then. For now, take it easy and if you’re in LA, stay dry!
Last night I was doing my usual banter with South African author Wogan May when he asked an interesting question. It’s a little too early in the morning for me to remember it exactly, but to paraphrase, he basically said, “You know what would be cool? If we could do a collaborative book.”
So, thus, a new writing project was born. But not just an old project, no, not with us at the helm of an idea.
We’re not using the old fashion style of paper, pencils and pens.
We’re not even going to be using the likes of Microsoft Word either.
We’ll be using a three-way combo of googleTalk, googleDocs and Skype. Once done with the novel’s post work, we’ll be self-publishing on through the highly-acclaimed internet based publishing house Lulu.
We think this is the first novel to be developed, written and published completely by way of internet.
So there you have it.
Right now we’re developing the plot through googleDocs. Make sure to pay attention to my youtube channel, so I’ll start updating it as soon as possible.
I’ve been and I’m going to be busy for the next few weeks as this semester of college finally ends.
I wrote quite a bit while up in Crestline over the Thanksgiving holiday, and it’s followed me home. My long 6 month stint with hazy ideas is gone. Everything has become clear. Today I met with my former creative writing professor and we discussed how I can get published…I alos dropped off the prologue/first 3 chapters of my original work, “There”.
So for now, I’m in my writing studio, writing away.
I’ll be trying to update everyday, and it’s going to be an in depth look at what it takes to become a writer and my long road ahead in regards to being published.
Hopefully it’ll become something big, but only if you guys help me out!
Uh, I’m still trying to figure out what to put here. I mean, my blog is about me and a pursuit of my dream: to become a published author.
You’d think for someone wanting to be an author, I could write a simple description here. It’s quite simple: I’m blogging about becoming published, which hopefully people will want to follow along. Hell, maybe this’ll help out others with the same dream as mine. You know, kinda’ like a “Follow the same path” kind of thing, but not so heavy on the philosophy. Who knows, people may read this just because they find it amusing, interesting or completely repulsive. Either case, I hope they like it.
It’s going to be a long road, as my goal is being published by the end of 2008. Whether I make that dream a reality or fail to do so, I’ll be here letting you know what it’s like to try.
“Have Adrenaline — Will Travel” refers to my philosophy on life, which is summed up in a single sentence:
