I'm still in school and that maybe the problem, though I can write well. I have a story in mind (and <I> here</I> and <I> there </I> parts of the story are in a booklet I keep around so, when I get a good idea I write it down) I also have a title and a half-finished prologue done,yet, nothing's coming to me anymore. I used to write as many words as I could fit into my schedule at school and home,but, now I'm more into reading your book <I> Ghost Road Blues. </I> I have finished <I> Dead Man's Song </I> and it was a great story! (my friend had gotten me that book withought knowing there was one before it) My mind is blank on my story and yearning to learn more about others. I am though, chasing after the goal to get this book published.(even though it's still in rough draft form) <BR/><BR/>I also have another talent for art, I'm not professional (of course) but, I was thinking of drawing Karl Rugar, he was one of my favorite characters from the story, if that's okay with you.HorrorHoundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06246818291327634280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5372558723030207312.post-16490361238568695662007-12-12T11:18:00.000-08:002007-12-12T11:18:00.000-08:00It's inspiration like this that every writer and a...It's inspiration like this that every writer and aspiring writer needs to read. My normal schedule is 5 am to 7 am when I work, and 5 am to 3 pm when I'm not working. Morning is my best time. Saturday night is party time when I have a rum and coke, and send out completed manuscripts while listening to oldies but goodies.<BR/><BR/>But over the past five or so years, sleep and employment problems have kept me from this schedule, so I do the best I can. I needed to see things like "4000 words per day" and how many months you can get out a book manuscript. I've been trying to get a book published since I was a kid -- over forty years ago. Now, I live and work part time at an amusement park, so I have plenty of time to write. I'm still going after that elusive goal of getting a book published.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480973434886744678noreply@blogger.com
