The Alluring Mess of my WIP

Not since I, ZOMBIE have I so thoroughly loved writing a novel that I knew full-well everyone else would hate.


44,380 words into THE SHELL COLLECTOR. Well over halfway. I’m calling this a romance novel, but I have a feeling the readers of that genre will walk away disappointed. Because I have no clue what the hell I’m doing. But I’m loving every word of it.


My very rough estimate for a launch date is mid-October. But if this thing keeps writing itself the way it has been, it could be earlier than that. I just hope I can get David Gatewood to do the editing on this. And that he can make it through whatever the hell it is that I’m writing.

Graham Although I won't blindly say "I'm sure i'll love it", I will say that after reading Wool I'd be surprised if I didn't! However, that aside, it sounds as if it is a novel you "have" to write and I've always believed that an Author should write first and foremost for themselves and then invite others along for the ride if they so wish :)

James Larranaga I agree with Graham, keep writing and get it out of your head and into the world. I'm going through a similar process with book II on one of my novels and I'm having a ball!
