At the
moment I have two short stories sent in to science fiction magazines, a third
to a writing contest, and a revised novel to a publisher, and I’m waiting to
start the editing process on a second novel that’s been accepted by Whiskey
Creek Press (The Notorious Ian Grant).
There’s also a self-published novella that should come out early next year, and
a space opera series I’m working on that you’ll hear more about next year.
That’s
certainly the most number of my babies I’ve ever had out in the cold, cruel
publishing world at the same time … and I’ve got two more novels that just need
a little polishing before they’re ready to go. It’ll be a juggling act, but my
plan is to keep them all out there until they’re sold.
Oh – and my
friend Barry Parham donated a copy of Smoky
Days and Sleepless Nights to his local library down in South Carolina!
Another print copy has also been sold through CreateSpace to someone in
England. My plan for 2014: Keep the momentum going.
That's impressive! You may have to devote your full time to writing at that rate.
ReplyDeleteBoy, I wish I could ... but for now I have to work what amounts to two full time jobs.
DeleteYou're further along than I am!
ReplyDeleteUnless I implode under the pressure! Besides, a month from now all those submissions could be on the rejection list.
DeleteIt's a good plan, Mark. I hope it works. I've been rethinkig my long range plans, but that's the beauty of self-publishing. I can make course corrections whenever I choose.
ReplyDeleteThere's something to be said for course corrections. Over the years my writing course has often been corrected for me!
