Enter a Fistful of Marijuana has been receiving some decent feedback from a few actual online reviews and a bump up in the downloads. Still pretty far away from getting a royalty check but it's nice to see it picking up some steam.
Right now, I'm participating in that November Nano thing - while it helps in the 'pump out a lot of words' i don't know how it's going to all come out at the end. Well, I do know. It's going to be messy.
So for my own record, here's the major stories I've put aside for now as I hate closure.
Enter a Fistful The Sequel - ok, so i contradict myself, this is my nano project but once November is done, it's going to be a mess trying to organize this. It follows what happens with Jacques LaPlante's master plan from EaFoM. It follows at least 3 main characters, plus a lot of 'outtakes' or 'short stories' of other characters. 25% done
Stoner, Unincorporated - I'm in the formatting stage of this one after a couple years delaying a rewrite, If i concentrate, I might be able to push this out in the start of December if I don't mind falling behind on The Sequel. 85% done
Flies - The story of teen murders, centered around juvenile delinquents and group homes. Another 3 main characters, one a foster home Big Brother, another a group home worker, and the third being a cop whose son has been convicted of sex crimes. It's a week in the life of all of them, another one that's about 1/2 way done. 50% done
I of B - My attempt at a relatively serious tragedy/love story. It follows the life of 2 kids as they grow up and go their separate ways, only to rediscover each other decades later. Split into 1/3s, I have Act 1 done, parts of Act 2 and the last chapter of Act 3. Still a lot to go, losing the plots a little. 30%
Duff Ragwell and His Amazing Channel Changer - A rewrite of a manuscript i did 20 years ago. It would be good to go through it again, see what i would change, upgrade it from my extra 2 decades of writing experience. Rewrite at 0%
So 5 main projects before I have to come up with another original idea which as most writers know is where the real fun is. Priorities...
