Yesterday in the Life, Part IV

I've been keeping you up to date on the status of my novel, "Yesterday in the Life," and I'm pleased to announce that it has now toppled over the 90,000 word mark. This huge part of my life is nearing the final stretch and I will soon begin work on the ending. If you've ever written a book on your own from scratch, you can likely understand how I am feeling right now, and though it's not finished yet, the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel is bright enough that I can see the world on the other side; even if the picture still has a circular border.

Screenplay

As a writer, it's important to write as often as you possibly can. In that vein, I've started work on my first screenplay entitled, "I Wish." The story is about a guy who develops the ability to have every wish he makes granted, thanks to a series of events and a little help from Mother Nature. It's a fun story and so far, I'm about twenty-two pages into it. Why write a screenplay, you ask? Well for starters, it's still writing. What's more, it's the kind of story that just feels like a screenplay rather than a novel; I can't really describe it much better than that.

Anyway, I think that when it's completed (which may take awhile since I work on it between my novel and the other writing I do), it will be worth the price of admission and popcorn. Of course, selling it to the bigshot Hollywood types will be interesting, and if anyone knows of someone interested in seeing what is done thus far, let me know.

In the meantime, I just thought that it might be nice to put this little tidbit out here, just in case Mr. Hollywood Producer actually pays this blog a visit...

Oh one more thing...

A dear friend recently partnered with a few friends and published a new book called, "Brewed Awakenings." This book is a collection of 50 short stories, poems and essays and it deserves your attention. Pick it up today at http://www.lulu.com/content/265765

New eBook

I just completed an eBook entitled, "Know when to Hold 'em: A User's Guide to Texas Hold 'em Poker." I'm very excited about this book and though it was a lot of work, it was a fantastic experience and I'm thankful for the opportunity.

I don't know when it will be available but when it is, I'll be sure to post it here!
