As I near the end of work on "SPOOK: Confessions of a Psychic Spy," I realize I'm trying to hold onto it. Prolong the project. This is a common dilemma for the writer. When I first moved to Los Angeles, I read a book on the art of writing screenplays. In it, the writer (I believe it was Syd Feld) said that as you near the end of your screenplay you may find yourself moving very slow. Holding on to it. This is because part of you loves writing this project and doesn't want to see it end. But part of the writer's process is to finish the project and move on to the next.
Finishing a script or book is like saying goodbye to an old friend. But just as that is a bittersweet part of life, so is saying hello to a new friend.
Wow. I didn't know I was going to me so sentimental this morning.
The other day I told someone that I write stories that I would love to see. That I am a fan of. The stories I don't see on TV or in the movie theaters. The stories Hollywood isn't telling.
Anyway, that was my big lead in to the list of projects my indie publishing company Brooklyn Apache Press will be releasing in the coming months:
"THE BLACK ALBUM: A Hollywood Horror Story" (released 2013) Genre: Horror/Thriller
"SPOOK: Confessions of a Psychic Spy" (Release: Spring 2014) Genre: Spy/ Drama
"THE MOON BEAM RIDER" (Release: Summer 2014) Genre: Science Fiction/ Young Adult
"TEENAGE WASTELAND" (Release: Fall 2014) Genre: Science Fiction/ Young Adult
"MIDNITE REVIEW OF THE FREAK KING" (Release: Winter 2014) Genre: Science Fiction
"DEATH DEFYER" (Release: Winter 2015) Genre: Dark Comedy
"UNTITLED SPOOK NOVEL" (Release: Spring 2015) Spy/ Drama
That's it for now. Thanks for reading.
On the run.
