Pain, Death, And A Twitching Finger

How I've been writing lately.




Lately, I've been reading The Historian. A good book, but nothing the way I'd thought it would be. It's slow, but well immersing. It's slow. I'll give it good writing, but it's gruelingly slow.



Recently, I of all things to do, decided to write a letter outlining my accounts during a bad food spill while at a local restaurant. I sent the letter to their corporate offices, but before I did, I re-read it. I found interestingly enough that the way in which I wrote the letter, the wording, the turn of phrase, and all the such little items that make up the nature of my pen and thoughts, where transferred into that small story as I had read the style of The Historian. Much as it is in the way I am writing this now.



It's an odd thought, but I realized, far too late in life that I can copy the flow and syntax of what I read and re-purpose it through my own creative means. Basically, I can mimic it. It's something that I have been doing automatically for a very long time, but only now have I realized why my style would change so much over time.



So I have put myself to a test as I continue to edit. I have picked up three bestselling novels. Two in the vampire genre, and one in the thriller category. If I am right, as I read each book, I will pick up the elements that, as I hope, will make my own writing not only better, but to the level of those same bestselling novels. My characters, story, and plot, but told in the way Dan Brown or Lee Child might tell it. I see it akin to hiring that movie announcer to do your commercial when all you might do is voice it over your self. A simple analogy, but fitting none-the-less.



I should be able to learn from the experience in the least and should be able to develop the one flaw that I have had in my writing, the flow.

Good News

I found a way to give you all my book, for free




And to make it #1 on Amazon.com






Recently, one of my Uber-Fans, Kathy, told me about the site: ILoveVampireNovels.com

It's a site that gives it's members a free book everyday just for signing up.



Obviously, this is a wonderful thing and I think that this will be the avenue that launches Demon Vampire to the #1 Bestseller's Lists across the nation. The best part is that this site is growing fast by word of mouth. I know that it will be a little while before I am able to add my book to their lists, but in the meantime, I'd like to share this treasure with you all as it was shared with me. So sign up and get reading. Tell all you can and in time, my book will be available on their site as well.



Sincerely,



Virgil Allen Moore

Loading, Loading, Too Much Damn Loading

The New Computer Is Up And Running



Now just 70 programs to install...


The last computer had 98GB of programs files. Thankfully I am not installing all of them again. I'm just focusing on the ones I need to write and edit the new photos.



For now, it's a slow crawl to get all the simple installs I need to keep it safe and prep for the coming books.



Don't forget to email me at virgilallenmoore@live.com for a free advance copy of Demon Vampire.



Sincerely,

400 Photos ...Only 100 hours Of Editing To Go...

The Photo Shoot Is Done!!!




400 pictures were taken of the beautiful model. There were four outfits, three make up sets, and one hell of a choker that she was able to wear. You are going to love these pics!



Right now they are all in the RAW format and can't be posted even if I wanted to, but I will be working on them this weekend.



For now, contact me if you'd like an advance review copy of the book. Just email me at virgilallenmoore@live.com and I'll send you a PDF.



Sincerely,

Check Lists Are A Pain

And Twenty Trips To The Car Sucks.




All of you that are Photography Majors, I laud you.




For those of you that aren't, like myself, let me explain.


Five lights that could nearly blind someone just by themselves, stands-a-plenty, and more little things that I can easily count. All of these things are what I am having to haul to the photo shoot tomorrow.



The time has come for the photo shoot that will replace the current cover of the book if all goes well. I am setting everything up for the last push in the next 24 hours. Every detail has to be taken into account. Every color of nail polish for each outfit, everything from shoe polish to added flashlights for shadow effects - each thing has to be remembered and packed. It's both overwhelming and exciting.



The event I have been planning for the last two months has finally come. Tomorrow, I will shoot over 2000 pictures and in the end, I should have somewhere near a hundred usable photos to show for it. These images will be in the book, used in ads, on the site, and even in promotional items.



Wish me luck.



Sincerely,



Virgil Allen Moore

It's Not That Bad, Really;)

My Main Computer Is Fried




That's right, I had a hard drive failure. 




But as I said, it's not that bad, really.







A few weeks ago it started having a few boot issues. At the time, I thought it was a hiccup, damn hiccups. Therefore I kept at it and thought I had fixed the problem through nothing else but professional neglect. 




Then the issue became a problem. I wasn't able to start my computer about 85% of the time. At this point, somewhere in the back of my head, I heard those awful, all too well known words, "I told you so." 




More money that I am willing to admit later... I have another desktop coming in the mail. I built the last one five years ago. With all I put into it, it's sad that I had to move on, but I must admit, it is a welcome change in the end. I am building this one as well, and at least the upgrade is a plus. 




For those of you that are worried about my writing, it hasn't derailed anything. I have my work backed up in more than four other locations at any one time. 




On other news, it's less than two weeks until the photo shoot. I'm anxious, and I'm sure all of you are as well. In the end, I added a lot to the shoot, a lot more than what was originally set up. There will be pictures that I will be adding to the site, advertising, and throughout the book that will be more than enticing to most. 




Be sure to look forward to the up and coming photos and all the work I'm putting into the book. Subscribe and be sure to post this on your wall through facebook. Every voice counts in getting the word out. 




Sincerely, 




Virgil Allen Moore
