Hello one and all…\u00a0 Time for another Adamsville update in which… I don’t have much new to report!\u00a0 Honestly you guys this is the dead zone.\u00a0 I actually have a bit of\u00a0 withdrawal going on.\u00a0 I got so used to my life being consumed by producing this book that having to sort of wait this all out is just so odd to me now.\u00a0 It was nice to have a few months off to rest a bit more, but I have stayed pretty busy between commissions and working on the project I am currently Kickstarting:\u00a0 THE DRAGON BOOK AND OTHER STORIES.<\/a><\/p>\n

At the moment I am currenly waiting to see what one publisher wants to do with the book and looking to see if there are any other avenues for me outside of self-publishing.\u00a0 I want to talk much more about everything, but I feel like that’s a more appropriate conversation once it’s all played itself out.\u00a0 The hard part is that it really could take months more for me to hear something back, or I could get an e-mail this afternoon.\u00a0 I have no idea.\u00a0I’ve been told though that a fast response is generally a negative one, so maybe I should be thankful at this point?!\u00a0This sort of suspense can kill a man! Lol.<\/p>\n

I decided what’s best is to throw myself full on into writing the second book and just keep plowing along.\u00a0 No matter what I want to finish this series and not fall too far behind my internal goals of finishing each volume within a year and half of each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Writing has gone slowly on book 2.\u00a0 When I made the decision to make this series a trilogy (orginally I thought it could go on much longer) it meant speeding up certain parts of the storyline and character develoment.\u00a0 Trying to make that happen without it feeling forced was hard, but I think I pushed through that wall finally and things are moving along well.\u00a0 The book centers itself around that most time endured tradition of the school dance and getting all of that right has been difficult. I have also been watching a lot of dance movies like this one:<\/p>\n
