For those of you who've been around long enough to read my Twitter
feeds or see my Facebook page updates (I’m trying to stay away from a fan page
right now, but, if things work out I may have one ... one day), then you’ll
probably be wondering where all the updates about my forthcoming collection
are.
Well I’m sorry to say, it’s not going to happen just yet. But if you’re
the patient sort, you’ll see it will.
The only reason it has not happened just yet even though I have made
various promises is that I want to avoid missing out on a story idea because I didn’t
happen to hammer it out quick enough. And if there is one thing I have learnt
from posting outlines and spoilers is that there is always someone (somewhere)
out there who’ll take your idea and run with it because you were just too darn
slow. I made that mistake once. I posted up an idea and BOOM some months later it was flying up the kindle short story
chart. Needless-to-say, the story was the same but with entirely differently
named characters.
I want to avoid people thinking I’m a hack. They may not think that at
all, but the chances are someone out
there will.
Does that sound lame?
If it does, and I hope it doesn't I apologize But at the moment I
still have a lot of short story work I want to see done and circulated while I
finish working on my novella collection. I usually aim for 3k works on the
novella a night, and work on the short stories during the day. So it shouldn't take
me much longer.
I promise.
Thanks for you time.
