New Story Updates

Well it's been a while. I've done a lot of working out, preparing for grad school, and lots of dog petting.

                                                        How can you not pet this dog?

     But I've been doing a lot of writing too! I am getting a drama story titled 'Bad Art Saturdays' published in Liquid Imagination this June. And, I have completely finished my second novel and am sending it out to literary agencies.

     I've learned a lot from the difficulty of the first novel. Perhaps making a high-concept 500 page novel with 6 POV characters before having a notable reputation would be a hard sell. Especially because it has a slow build. My new novel has a kick-in-the-door opening and focuses on one character. With any luck that will counter some of its more unconventional aspects.

     But literary agencies take sometimes months to respond, so in the meantime there will be a lot of dog petting.
