My second story in a month, Donatello's, has been picked up by Steel Moon, it has been entered into their themed contest for October's issue. Thanks to Pete and wish me luck!
My friend Pete Marsh over at Steel Moon Publishing has informed me that he is now open for some business. They are accepting submissions--no more than 1000 words--for their first comeback contest. Head on over there and see my pal Pete and submit something, would ya? You can get there from HERE.
Just wanted to keep everyone up to speed on the outline. I have gotten through the prologue and the first two chapters. So here we go on the rest!
I have begun work on an outline for my first novel, yet to be titled. So I will be posting my progress as I go along. I wanted to do this so that everyone of you can go along with me on this novel roller coaster ride. I hope this will garner a sense of what we do as writers and allow you all to see the process/time that goes into writing a full novel. Hope you enjoy the ride!!
Looks like everyone made it ok...this being my first post I should introduce myself. I am Todd Banks and I recently had my first short story accepted and slated to be published in October. This is an exciting time for me and it just seems to be coming on all the sudden. Reading and writing has always been a passion of mine, but it fell to the wayside in '93, when I joined the Navy. Ever since then it's been balls to the walls working to raise my family. I have finally found the time to sit at my keyboard and peck away at these crazy little demons running around inside my skull.
I owe a lot to my friend Brandon Berntson, who by the way, is one hell of a great writer himself. He unknowingly gave me the guidance I needed to get the job done...thanks Brandon. Head over to his site to read some horrific fiction that will make you want to sleep with your mommy again. Also I wanted to say thanks to Chris over at Static Movement for picking up my first story. You can find both Brandon's and Chris' links over in my Favorite Haunts section.
Thanks a lot for coming by and reading all this babble...hopefully I get the opportunity to scare you asses off!!
