Troy Pendleton WOW, that's a task..lol

Steve knew what he had to do the escape this crazed fan that had been stalking him for weeks but didn't want to take her life. Then, just as he came out of his dressing room she lunged at him with a large knife and stabbed him in the chest.

How's that?
Troy Pendleton I am not sure if I have ever really had it. Sure I hit story stoppers, where I just don't know where to go to next but I just switch gears and work on something else for a couple of days till it comes to me. We're just getting started so I have lots of outlines and stories started that I can switch to.
Troy Pendleton It's just very cool to have people reading something that you created. I have spent most of my life with all this stuff bouncing around in my head. I was the only one that could see it. I remember the day my writing partner Charles Little Jr called me and was talking about this book that we were working on (not out yet, next year sometime) and he was talking to me like these characters were real people. That was the first time someone really got it. The first time someone else lived in a world that I created. Unbelievable cool!!
Troy Pendleton 1. Let people, who will give you honest feedback, read your stuff .
2. If you get good feed back on your stuff, stick with it.
3. Know your strengths. It's OK to not be good at everything. I have a writing partner for a reason...lol
4. Lastly, find your own path. Just because something works for others doesn't mean it will work for you.
Troy Pendleton Our next book will be called "Vanished". Its kind of a action/mystery. I really like the main character in this book and hope to do more books with him.
Troy Pendleton Anything can give me inspiration but I love music and a lot of what I do comes from that. A song will make me feel a certain way or put a thought in my head. I have also have lived an interesting life and have meet some good and bad people, which I often rely on when I am trying to build a mental image of a character I have created. I children and grandchildren give me a lot of inspiration as well. I often look at them and think "What would your superhero power be"...lol.
