David's Random, Overly Energetic, and Sometimes Sarcastic Updates

[Jen]

I have to tell you - today I found

OH. MY. GOD.

CHOCOLATE BLACK LICORICE BITES!!!!!!!

(swoons, faints, dies and goes straight to heaven does not pass go does not collect $200).

You can't get them here usually. I'm in heaven. It's the closest I can come to Australia. THEY ARE AMAZING.

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

LOL! That's awesome!!!

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Oh and I should probably give an update because I've been so lax about it! The Earth Dwellers is at 56,000 words now! Should be over 70K before I leave Spain, beta readers get ready, it's comingggggg!

[Heidi]

Take your time David I just bought the first book in that series! I need to catch up! hahahaha

[Karen’s Library]

You seriously just made my heart stop beating for a second there!! Sqquueeeee!!!

Lol I hope it started again :P

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Sounds like Spain has been productive! Woot!

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

VERY!!

[Reymart]

Well this one is kind of...random.

As a matter of fact... I am doing some Inspired Book Scores for Mr. Estes' books. I'm still with The Moon Dwellers (like part 1/2/3) and I'll post them on Youtube and share a link here. Not official scores but inspired scores (as I said) and I hope you'll love them. :3

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Sounds awesome! Can't wait to hear it!

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Thanks Reymart, I really loved the one you posted in the other thread, I'm listening to it over and over haha!

[Beatrice]

Have you had a reading slump? What was the book you've been reading when you had it?

PS. Also, how to get over it?

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Hmm I haven't really had a slump but when I was reading The Passage I got burnt out and gave up. Once I switched books I was fine again :)

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

I had one last October, I think I only read 5 books that month, which is nothing for me! I just did other things for a few weeks until I really wanted to read again!

[DeAnna]

I've had reading slumps with books I wasn't really that interested in. Once I find a great book, it usually ends. If you think it's the book you're reading, I would recommend either giving up on it or just putting it aside for a while. I've done both, depending on what I was reading.

[Lola]

I just recently had a reading slump, I was reading a good book and it took be a week to read it. I finally got out of my reading slump thanks to beta reading I loved the first book and it was so great to be back in that world.

[Chris]

My whole life seems to be a reading slump;-)

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

I started writing Brew today!!!

[Chris]

Whoa - that sounds AWESOME David. Love the name! You are a writing machine!

[Ali]

Added it to my 'Books to buy' list already BWAHAH! Get writing dude.... You are AMAZEBALLS!

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Lol thank you both! I'm obsessed with making my ideas a reality! It stresses me thinking some of them may never be written :) So it's really just my OCD doing the writing ;)

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Yay, can't wait for a new series! :)

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Hehe thanks ;) 8,000 words in and I'm really excited about the concept!

What?? How did I not know about this?? I'm adding it to my to-read shelf RIGHT now! :)

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Lol! I've kept it a small secret until The Earth Dwellers is out :) But thank you!!!

[Gabby]

:)

[Heidi]

Your writing ability amazes me David! How do you have so much time and energy to write all these great books!

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Hehe, well thank you :) I'm full time, so that helps...but I also just really have a lot of stories to tell and I am just bursting with passion to share them! Plus, I have big dreams of getting published by one of the big publishers someday so the more I write, the better I'll get, and the greater the chance of success :) I hope to be doing this for a long time!

That's a great dream, and I feel pretty confident it will happen for you!

HA!!!!! That was an awesome picture/comment to wake up to!
And thanks everyone for giving me the confidence I need! The Dwellers was included on a list of 15 series to read if you like The Hunger Games and I was the only self-pubbed author on the list eeeeep!!! I retweeted it as I was soooo excited :)

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Woot, woot, that ROCKS!!!

[Heidi]

Awesome David! Well deserved!

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Thank you!!! It was pretty much the most exciting thing ever :)

[Karen’s Library]

Just wait! I see lots of exciting things coming to you Sir David!! :-P

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

I'm dreaming of those things!

[Blake]

Thanks so much Blake!! I am still stoked about it!

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

I loved seeing your books with all those other excellent books, David! What a huge high! I'm not all the surprised, though ;)

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Thank you! I'm surprised lol!

[Karen’s Library]

I tweeted, pinned it, facebooked it!! I'm so proud of our David! I saved lists like this back when I first read Hunger Games and got most of my next books from them. There were tables set up at my Barnes and Noble set up with the same heading that I would pick up from!! This is huge to be so mainstream!! Eek!

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Me too, Karen, and I agree its beyond cool! I just meant I wasn't surprised because David's books are just as good, if not better than, some of other books listed. :)

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Awwwww thank you guys so much!! It's REALLY helping sales, which were already at all time highs for the series, so I'm on cloud nine right now, my dream is truly becoming a reality :) Just gotta find a publisher for Brew after I finish it! 12k words and counting!

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Woot, woot!!

You can find a publisher for ALL your books!! Look at what Hugh Howey did! Kept his ebook rights but got his Wool series published in book format all over the world! And got his book picked up by Ridley Scott for movie rights! This will be YOU, David!!

[Heidi]

Wow David that list has some pretty big hitters on it! What an honor! To be honest I have read some of the the other series mentioned on the list and actual prefer your books to them! Do you see why I am so picky about books I love now? When I see some books that I just think are sub par getting published and pushed hard it makes me batty because there are so many books like yours that I think don't get the same attention.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

I agree, Heidi, I've read so many self published or indie books that are just amazing!
