Oh whore!
For some reason I thought that because I had finally decided to invest in my own work given up on anyone ever trying to sell the Blood Lust books on my behalf then that was it. I was, officially, on my own.
Then someone reminded me that I currently have four children and not just the three.
Bugger.
So here I go again on my own.
Going down the only road I've ever known.
The road of soul crushing rejection.
Aftermath is up for sale, ladeez an' genelmen. Going, going to anyone who may care to make a bid for it.
I have adopted a slightly different style this time and really 'upped' myself. I don't normally as I prefer to think of myself as worthless crap and that way I don't get too disappointed when other tell me that too.
So, back to flogging the one title without any real inference to Blood Lust or its self-publishedness* but rather hoping that it can Cinderella on its own merits.
I even went to say that Aftermath conforms to the already established readerships. Although I couldn't think of any authors I could liken myself to. However, I can't wait for someone to appraise the massacre in the sex shop scene.
*cue crack of thunder and rearing, whinneying horses.
Saw a couple of kids films today. With the kids.
Open Season and Barnyard
Both were okay and contained a few brilliant sequences but also dragged somewhat during the plot development scenes. This are kids' films fer crying out loud, why burden the pace with plot? Just have more animals fart in interesting ways and the kids will love it.
Barnyard just seemed to be 90 minutes of that Farside joke - 'Car!' with a bit of Disney's 'kids kill their parents' morality thrown in.
Open Season was a blatant rip-off of Madagascar.
Both films featured animals defecating onscreen. I suppose that was why they got a PG rating instead of a U.
In general? Things seem really shit at the moment and I'm not sure why. I'm usually apathetic, cynical and negative about most things but that's usually for comedic purposes. It's probably got something to do with not having any proper alcohol in the house and I'm forced to drink rum and coke.
Yeah. I said, 'forced'.
