a novel idea!
You may not have noticed this, but if you did, the answer is yes: I did delete that beginning to a story I posted a couple days ago.
Not because I'm ashamed of the story. Actually, just the opposite.
I want to expand it into a novel, and publish it.
Crazy? Yeah. Wishful thinking? Definitely. I've got a snowball's chance in hell of attracting the attention of a publisher with my weird, quirky, tightly paced and plotted story with deep resonance, stunning originality and heart-stopping, page-turning action. Except if I get a literary agent first. Then they might notice. But I still have a snowball's chance in the Sahara of getting the attention of an agent with my weird, quirky, tightly paced and plotted story...you get my drift.
And if I left any of my manuscript sitting out here on my open blog, I would have even less chance. It goes without saying that I want to maximize my chances of getting this thing into print.
So wish me luck. I can't believe I'm even going to try writing a book.
I've wondered a lot over the past three days about whether I have the talent or chops necessary to pull off a well-written piece of fiction. Maybe in short bursts, but maybe not for a marathon.
But I'm really excited about this. I think I'm more passionate about writing this than I have been about doing anything in literally years. And I've powered through forty double-spaced pages in two days, plus writing a complete chapter-by-chapter plot outline.
I hope you liked the clips, while they were here.
