still no word back from whispers. maybe the book was worst than i thought, to need so much editing, or maybe, i should have saved the editor's name, instead of forgetting that aol erases old message automatically. he he. now i have to log onto their forum and ask if anyone knows it is, or email the publisher, or who knows what else. oops.
otherwise, the writing is going goos, over halfway, i think, with the sci fi comedy etc. that's why it's nice to name the book, even if it's tdb, for that dumb book, or bbb, for big bestseller book. doesn't matter, just make something up.
unfortuantly, when i did that, i forgot to change the title before sending it off, hence the first book to be published is called forbidden passion. it sums it up well enough, and print novels are known to change their titles a lot. but not ebooks; the author has a lot more power for their dream.
i don't like the one eyed monster joke, still, for the sci fan book. it just seems a little contrived, somehow. it needs to work in smooth, and run to the big finish to be a good joke. like rat race. every joke led to a bigger joke, smoothly, until the big finish.

i have alway ignored all the blathering about a book's needs, and writers ramblings about instinct, or artsy stuff. but the paramedic story is missing something. i can tell. so maybe it's not just hog wash. there is something missing from the story; this is not just an excuse to avoid publication or rejection or to slink away from yet another unfinished project, ego semi attached. no, it's just too dull.
ps. sitting on my butt watching tv has not helped. but, uh, that kinda ain't gonna change.
i think the main character may be missing. oh there is one, but her feelings are not addressed often enough, she might as well be a fly on the wall who can talk. does she re act? make a descision? i need a little more with the ghost. it's just not scary enough.
writing ont he mirror? a menacing shadow? maybe. but something. it's not just the length is too short, or a lack of subplots, though there are none, basically, in the book.
i might skip fior a while to the sci fi fantasy funny. the one eyed monster joke still needs work. the re write, and re read, since i haven't read it in a while, is going well. the book isn't as bad as i thought, and parts are still funny. time has made it easy to find akward phrasing, and all the plot lines with various characters are coming together good.
the important thing, of course, is to write.
tv does not help. darn that blockbuster online! i'll never get work done now!

oops! It's been a while since i have been writing posts. wouldn't it be great if i had spent all that time on books instead of sitting on my butt watching videos? (thank you blockbuster online.) Ironically i'am complaining about wasteing my time when i should be doing stuff thast creates time wastes for other people. when you start thinking about that, everything seems like a waste of time. like sitting here in the hottest part of Oregon in a sweat stained puddle with barely the engery to move. lovely. now i don't have an excuse not to write, because i am certainly not going out in this heat. oh, wait, videos are shipped to my door, so i can still sneak away from my writing. only i can't sneak away from myself.
i have something to shut myself up, though. i have been thinking, (okay daydreaming) a few funny lines, and if my sweat slicked fingers don't slide off the keyboard, i think stuffing the lines into the book will make them better. i need to focus and kick out another book before i start any more. of course, i have two chapter written already,a nd the female character is taking over the scene, and i suddenly realized i don't have a reason for the male character other than i wanted to blow stuff up. oops. so i think i need to backburner that one, and try to force myself to focus. if i am lucky, i can distract myself with a good movie and sneak away to do nothing.
