Hello there, Indietalk people; Sean, Nate, Mike C., Chris T., Mara....
It's been a while. I haven't had time to scan the board to see what everyone's been up to, but I can see at a glance that Nate is still busy with his super cool project. Keep it up, my friend...
I wasn't getting anywhere with my film making endeavors so I took a break to write a novel. I just finished the first draft. Now, I'll probably spend the next 3 to 6 months on the second draft before I pass it off to a couple of editors, one of whom is my son. I had never written a novel before, so I did not know what to expect going in. So far, It's been more fun than I had imagined. The first draft is 123,000 words, which is approximately 400 pages, depending on formatting. There's no money in it. I decided to write the novel, then pay to have 100 hard cover copies printed to be sold or given away-just to let the world know I was here. I may approach an agent to see if there could be any interest in the book, but that's not a part of my immediate plan. The novel is about a 13th century French witch.
Well, I don't have much to say. I'm not even sure why I stopped by after all this time. I suppose I just wanted to see in anything had changed in the last 7 months... later
