Title: What's Next?
Post by: Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock 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.

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?

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.
