The HERMANDIBLE Book Is About to Start

 

Grab all my books from Saddleback Educational Publishing or Amazon!

The HERMANDIBLE outline is in the third draft. The first draft of the book should be written between now and this time next month.
 

HERMANDIBLE is part of a 3 book series. The first 3 books will feature standalone stories (Vampoindexter and Anna Toucanna are the first two). HERMANDIBLE is the third one. Then, once the characters are established in those books, I'm going to start combining them into a bunch of new books.

  

Order VAMPOINDEXTER here.

Anna Toucana is out! Order it here!

Anna Ramphistad doesn't like anything about herself. She thinks she's too tall, her nose is too big and she feels like she's too awkward to have any friends. Then she realizes that she has some amazing powers - the powers of a toucan! This allows her to discover that who she is is just fine.

As far as scripts go... It looks like I'm going to write a script for a distributor that I am also going to direct. After that, before I write the horror/thriller 233, I think I'm going to write a comedy about a dad of some sort.

 

Once again, new episodes of the Ronni's Books podcast are available every Saturday! Some weeks I read one of my books until it’s complete. Other weeks you watch and listen to me write (and probably eat!). Listen to the most recent one here!

Once again, I am still reading through the longhand version of my script, 233. I should know shortly if I am rewriting it or starting fresh with a comedy.

It Might Be Time to Write A Comedy...

 

Myself and one my best pals, Mike Hartsfield, playing our first show in our band Enswell.

Reading through my next script 233. The thing is it will be my second or third thriller in a row. I think I should write a very contained comedy just to switch things up. Thoughts?

Laying out ANNA TOUCANA and starting the third book in the series (more on that below).

ESCROW Is Done... ANNA TOUCANA In The Wings!

Final notes on the ESCROW script and then it is DONE!

 

Doing the final read of ESCROW. Then I plan to read the longhand version of 233. This script is centered around a  spooky palm reading shop that conjures up some very evil things. I'm either going to jump into that rewrite with the goal of having it done by December, or, I'm going to write a comedy that will be done by January.

While that's happening, I will be laying out ANNA TOUCANA and starting the third book in the series (more on that below).

Escrow Is Almost Done!

School is Back In Session!

ESCROW is about one rewrite away from being done! I had wanted to have it complete by August 18th. Now, it’s looking like it will be the end of the month. Honestly, I thinking making August 18th a goal made it got done quicker because, without that, I might have labored on it longer than I needed to. I am starting my next script, tentatively called, 233, once ESCROW is done. It's centered around a very spooky palm reading shop that conjures up some very evil things. It's already written long-hand.

ANNA TOUCANA is done! I am about to start laying out the cover and preparing it to be published through Ronni's Books.

ESCROW is now 2 and 1/4's of a rewrite away from being done. I think I might've been there on my last update but you get the idea. I am starting my next script, tentatively called, 233, once ESCROW is done. It's centered around a palm reading shop AND it's already written long-hand.

Finshing and Starting Up

 

Myself and Mr. Bojangles

ANNA TOUCANA is 3 chapters away from it's final rewrite being done! I should have a cover to share in a couple of weeks.

ESCROW has had pretty much all of its logic gaps ironed out. It is 2 and 1/4's of a rewrite away from being done and shown around. Not sure those numbers make sense but it's close! I am starting my next script, tentatively called, 233, once ESCROW is done. It's centered around a palm reading shop AND it's already written long-hand. In fact, I show it on the most recent episode of the Ronni's Books Podcast! Watch it on the Ronni's Books Instagram this Saturday.

Logic Gaps

 

Sometimes you gotta put a pencil in your mouth for that old-timey effect.

ANNA TOUCANA is well into the 3rd rewrite. Now, I just need to finish it, make up a cover and make it available!

ESCROW is going well but, wow, one thing screenwriting does is force you to confront logic gaps. These are gaps in logic throughout the story. Due to the nature of screenplay writing do you fill the gap with action? Or, do you use a simple line of dialogue to explain things without explaining them? There are no easy answers... BUT you gotta do something. I am starting my next script, tentatively called, 233, once ESCROW is done. It's centered around a palm reading shop AND it's already written long-hand.
