Yesterday, I was introduced to an app that I really found pretty cool. I mean, they have an app for everything nowadays. But, for me, this one really piqued my interest. It's called WATTPAD (not sure why yet). It allows people to post ongoing serialized stories (you can post poems and other things, but I'm focusing on the storytelling aspect). What's even more interesting is that the audience can connect right back with the writer in the body of the story itself.
I'm going to do a little more investigation, but I believe that as I write my next book, a YA novel called "THE MOON BEAM RIDER," I will post every 2,000 words on Wattpad (the entire novel should be about 60,000 words). I will also adjust my story according to the reactions of the readers into the finished work, which will be a book I release through Kindle Direct Publishing and CreateSpace.
I'll keep you posted. If you're already on Wattpad, start looking for my work. I should begin MBR in about three weeks.
OTHER NEWS
DEATH DEFYER
I'm finally beginning to assemble a team for my proposed TV series. I can't name names now, but it is looking good. Everyone really liked the rewrite I did of the pilot teleplay. I brought the storyline into the crime action world.
SPOOK: CONFESSIONS OF A PSYCHIC SPY
I'm halfway through the edit of the book with my editor.
I'm also a third of the way through the tandem screenplay adaptation of the novel.
I'm about to start prepping for the photo shoot for the cover art for SPOOK and MOON BEAM RIDER. Also getting ready to hire an artist to do the cover design.
Anyway, that's all the updates for now. It's such a long process writing a novel. I'm completing my second one now. When you're writing them, it seems like you're never ever going to be finished. Then one day, you just are. I'm close. The true excitement will come when I hold a copy of SPOOK in my hands.
Thanks for reading.
