Just a few minutes ago, I reached 37,178 words. EPIC, BABY! Is all of it going to be usable? I doubt it, but at least I've got the basic framework for some great comedy, and that was my only purpose in participating.
I've also made some fantastic friends--one guy in CA who is a writing buddy, somehow threw down the gauntlet, and now instead of being involved in a race to finish our own novels, we're now in a race to see who finishes their own novels first. Which is spurring me on to write even during the days I'm tired and really wished I could write Father Jack as being electrocuted because I'm simply tired of him.
On Friday, November 19, I will be the featured author at TheIndieSpotlight.com site. Edward C. Patterson and Gregory Banks have devoted their precious time to help the independent author. They feature a different author each day of the week, so please stop by and support their tireless efforts. And read my interview--funniest thing since M*A*S*H.
As of yesterday, my short-story collection, ZEN IN THE ART OF ABSURDITY (link available to the right of your screen in the Amazon widget) hit #76 in the books > humour > essays category for TOP PAID KINDLE DOWNLOADS, and just a little while ago I, out of curiosity, checked the status of GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE...MY UNCLE DOES, and it is now sitting pretty at #66 in the books > entertainment > humor > crime&mystery category. That is the second time that particular book has cracked the TOP PAID KINDLE DOWNLOADS for that category.
And finally, exactly one week from today on US Thanksgiving Day, my historical fiction novel, THE GASLIGHT JOURNAL, makes its Amazon Kindle debut, and I couldn't be happier! Again, if you're a beta reader and need a place to slap up your review, simply go to the top of this page, and click on the GASLIGHT link. It will take you to a dedicated GASLIGHT page that I've set up specifically for your reviews.
That should do it for now. Keep at it, and remember you CAN do this!
