The Long Dark Silence
It is my understanding that my readers generally consider themselves pretty lucky - because they get 'fed' new stories and chapters on a regular and normally rather speedy basis.
With yesterday marking the end of Redemption's A Bitch, and tomorrow being the end of the short five chapter Six Billion Credit Rent Boy, a bit of a wait now ensues.
I am writing. The end of Tiger Winter is in sight, and it is massive now, standing around 120K, and into my NaNoWriMo word count I have also managed to insert 8000-odd words for my Chain Reaction Anthology story - so there is that to look forwards to.
But there is going to be a bit of a wait. I have yet to decide what I am going to do with Tiger Winter. It is much too large to go into a multi-book single volume published edition, and due to the general lack of good feeling towards the idea of crowdsourcing, I am not sure which avenue to take.
A lot of people will tell me to just upload it here, for everyone to enjoy, and I am not against that prospect either. I love writing, I love sharing my universes with all of you, and making you happy (or sad, or angry, or mixes of many emotions and hungry to boot), but I want to see my work on a bookshelf one day, not just on the 'shelves' of Amazon. Surely that's not too much to ask?
I do not know of the immediate future regarding this book, I think that TW probably has too much sex to be commercially viable, but who knows. It is hard to make a decision between the love of readers, and the inevitable lack of passion as soon as the word 'money' is mentioned.
Take blankets and snacks, and a torch for the dark.
