Moving Forward with My Debut Novel

Well, here it is, fresh off of the presses (my shitty printer). Of course it took me all day to get the damn thing working, and then I ran out of ink, but now it's all good. At the moment, it's 349 pages. I will go through it once more, and then wrestle with the self-publication process. Actually, this whole deal has taken me years -- living, writing, revising, contacting people, putting it down, writing more, revising, talking with writers, getting feedback, revising, and on and on. Many years of work. But I suppose it's all been worth it because now I feel like the time is right. Now I'm ready.

Griffin Farm Update

Currently, I have reached page 294 of revisions for Griffin Farm, which will be my debut novel. Still have a little ways to go, but the revisions are going well; changes are mostly small. After I finish this revision, I'll go over it once or twice more, reading it out loud as a hard copy version. Then I will put it out there for sale in book form (which I still prefer since I am a dinosaur when it comes to technology). Of course, for you people who are living in this century, it will also be available electronically.

Once I get all this ridiculous shit ironed out, if anyone has any suggestions for promotion, I'd be all ears. I have a few tricks up my sleeve, but I'm always looking for suggestions in this area. Send 'em my way -- any information would be helpful. Eventually, I'll also be looking for a venue for a reading to release it officially. If you have ideas on this, I'd love to know that as well.

Just reaching out, taking it one step at a time.

Rockin, I'm fucking stoked,
