Running Wild
Here we are again, another magical, smiling blog post about more and more PANCAKES, robot dinosaur archery, cannons, too many novels, and a card game.
I have a completed set of notes for Dragonsbane Part 2: Reckoning, and still no publisher/agent for Pt 1.Where are they? Heck if I know. More on that in a minute.
The notes for Dpt2 rounded out at sixty some chapters, almost double the length of part one and with more content. I like how it turned out and have most if not all the of the kinks worked out with the story.
As for a publisher... Well, this is the first time since I reached out to two agents that I've actually sat at my computer to write or do anything that isn't school work or using my laptop to play my Switch. The idea of self-publishing Dragonsbane has been tossed around and I did ask the cover artist from Regolith to do me something up as a hypothetical. Right now, I'm in a lurch, but I have a plan. I found a list of 107 of the 'best' fantasy publishers and plan to submit to at least 105 of those. Why 105? Well one I already submitted to and one doesn't take novel submissions anymore. Go figure.
So after all 105 are exhausted then... Well... I'll think on it, but I think you already know I would take the other route then.
Next, I have most of a set of notes for (no longer WORKING TITLE) In Mourning Before the Battle: The Storyteller War Pt3. This entry will conclude the first arc of the series before the middle entry, then off to another land! Sort of.
After that... Where do I start? I've been working on a card game idea that I want to make into a mobile game. Pretty simplistic idea, but I'm waiting on a set of blank cards to make a physical set to understand the balancing better.
I have... Roughly four novels working after that. Two suspense, one fantasy, one sci-fi. How far will they go? No idea. One of the suspense novels is a fleshed out version of the short story I wrote for the NYC competition. I'm doing it at the request of my fiance. She really liked the story. The fantasy novel is a Japanese-inspired tale, and the sci-fi novel is about Kaiju. You know, giant monsters. All of those will be shipped to DAW so I have more wall paper for my Shock and DAW room later in life.
No, really. I plan to save of the rejection letters I get from DAW and pad the walls of my office with them in the future. I really do plan on calling it the Shock and DAW room.
After that... Jeez...
I wrote some material for an RPG a friend of my is trying out. I plan to help more somehow.
And... At some point I plan on rereading Rising Seas and trying to make that into its own little RPG for PC.
*Wow that was a lot*
