What's Next?
« on: May 22, 2005, 03:07:51 PM »
So Rob, what's next after you finish this Awakened series? Any ideas or will you be laying low from the LDS market for a while? Maybe join in NaNoWriMo this year? Possibly hit the strip and cruise it on over to Australia? We all know what Brandon's doing, but what about you?

The next book -- don't cringe -- is a plain old romantic comedy.  It shouldn't take too long.

Aside from that, I've been meaning to get that Father's Day book done -- I think I've mentioned that one before.

Is that a children's book, or is it just a father's day book for fathers?

I'm truely amazed that HoM has managed to resist writing anything set in WW2 yet.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

His first (unfinished) book was a sort of WW2/Warhammer hybrid. Kind of cool.

Kind of cool in the sense that it was a horrible piece of crap.  Decent for a first book, I guess.  I realized, incidentally, that it's gone forever -- a victim of my hard drive crash last fall.

The Father's Day book is a series of essays describing my own dad, other father figures, and my experiences as a new father.

Cool. I'll get that for... my dad. Well, maybe not. But I do want to support TWG writers. But then again who cares.

Don't cringe too hard on my behalf - I don't like the whole suspense/mystery genre in general.

No one has copies of your gone forever book?
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

I doubt it.  I don't think I ever printed out a hard copy.  If anyone has an e-copy, it would be Fell, EUOL, Tage or Prometheus.  You guys have anything?

I really doubt it... it's been four years or so.  (Plus, I'm not incredibly heart broken.  I didn't ever plan to do anything with it.)

I don't think I have it. But if you ever go back to it, I'd recommend a from-scratch rewrite anyway.

Hum.  I think you'll be sad someday that you don't have that first one, just to show off.

I might have copies.  I'll check when I get home.  It isn't likely, though.
