You know I love this collection :)Btw, you need blurb help *nudge*
And a huge complinent that is for me :)Something I'll be working on tomorrow then will post the revised one on the blurb critique thread haha.
Just bumping this to say two thingsYAY for new blurb
and, I can now understand where and how Stephen King went into horror. though to be fair, he doesn't limit himself to horror. Heart in Atlantis for example haha
A nice new blurb :)Bear in mind, also, that sometimes in traditional publishing, the publisher or agent will say, hey! Slinky toys are really hot this year, how about a horror novel about slinkies?
It does happen. How much it's happened with King, I have no idea.
I've found going back to his earlist works gives me a better idea of where he comes from, especially with four seasons.
Very true. it's one of the reasons I'm not really looking to be put into traditional publishing. I like the freedom, write at my own pace and what I want to write. I have seen that, a little bit at least. I also saw King as the type of writer that would not ruin what he's writing. Though I can also see it in these newer books which focus less on the horror aspect and is just a genre-blender that's less horror and more everything else.
I am lol Oh? You want me to write another thriller with cowboy death scences? Coming right up! I need a day job lol
probably would not mind were I able to spit out stuff on demand. lol sadly...nope.
Ah, I suppose I could, if things were more stable and I'm not constantly worrying about, how the fuck am gonna move my writing career ahead now?
that is very true. besides, for me, self publishing is more fun. I love the interacting and learning and just meeting new people, writers and readers alike.
I was there, in that mindspace, about 10 years ago. Nothing wrong with it, and if you're comfortable with it, stay there, it's a good place for be.Personally, it was my intention all along to write novels for the mass-market, and that's just where I'm at now. If I get inspired to write something that isn't for the mass-market, well, I won't let that stop me.
Well I won't say I'll never do traditional. For the moment though, I am comfortable, and it gives me a chance to aspire for different things. I can definitely see you getting into the mass-market. and from all the talks here on Fringe, you got the drive to do it
Aw, thanks! I am trying to keep my hopes up :)
Thank you very much M.S! and yeah haha it's a lesson I learned the hard way. Once I get the know how on improving it a bit better I do plan on going back to WAF and correcting all that I can correct. As for the artwork, it was meant to be the book cover just couldn't get it done correctly haha. But I do have the person that drew it adding a bit more color to it. looking forward to your review, good or bad, and appreciate all your words :)
also, I rambled teehee lol
