Sorry for the long wait...

Sorry for the long wait, but I am here to say things are changing.  I have a drive in me I haven't felt in a long time.  I will be coming back to this blog, as well as starting a page on Facebook about my ideas and theories and things I've learned.  Things are actually happening this time.

Until then, take care...

concerning the Pariah novel...

I will be starting the writing of the Pariah novel sometime soon, within the next few weeks.  Again, I'll be serializing it.  Posting chapters at a time.  I'm currently fleshing out characters and adding some more.

To tell the truth, I'm not sure what this novel is.  I mean it will have neo-noir elements at first, but I can't stress this enough: It is not a detective story.  But really I won't know what exactly it is until I finish it, and even then I may not figure it out.

ordering the mess and an expected joy

I'm currently going through the notebooks I've accumulated over a decade and a half.  Must make some order in this sprawling setting filled with many many series and stand-alone novels/novellas/shorts.  My main focus is the Pariah novel.  That's what has got my complete passion at the moment.  But I need to do a test run of the blog posted stories/serials.  I'm thinking something about forests and forests creatures.  Something that isn't as convoluted as the Pariah.  And really, I need something to level me out from something as difficult and uncomfortable and painful as the Pariah.  It will be a handful to make this thing work.  But also very difficult because the subject matter is horrible.  And I will be living this for as long as I'm writing it.  I have posted this before, but yeah, that is one of the reasons I have been reluctant to write these stories.  The other reason is because I've never thought I was ready.  I think I may be ready now.  We'll find out.

And I also must work on my songs.  My equipment will arrive Tuesday (1/8/13) and I'll need to familiarize myself with it all.  And I am so very excited.  So many things coming at the same time.  And all so amazing.  But I do need to have some stuff ready so I can delve into myself, tear myself apart, and let the resulting blood ink the music and the words.  I will also have positive songs.  But the great majority is dark and painful and fucked.

Things are happening...

Gears are turning...

Be patient, my friends...

regarding Pariah the novel

Pariah is going to be a strange, Weird fiction novel, with neo-noir elements.  There will be a kind of pulp/graphic novel feel, hopefully as literary as possible.  A bit sci-fi, being based in a future New York, different yet still New York. But there are fantasy elements.  And of course, the unease of weird throughout. Terrors galore.

Actually it starts as a detective story but that devolves soon enough (it is not my aim to make this a detective novel).  There will be an ancient cult with elements of Christianity and Cthulhu cosmology.  Not sure what this thing is.  And really I'm still working everything out.  I'm hoping I can pull off this difficult novel.  But I'm excited about it.

Wish me luck

And I hope I live up to all of your expectations.

Stay tuned to this blog and my Facebook.

Things are happening...

Not just the Gears...

Sounds will be coming soon...

stories and serials to come

It's official: I'm going to be both serializing novels and posting short stories on Seasons.  They will be in posts at first, but will have them available as PDF's when I'm done with them. The shorts I'll make available for download with in the next few day of posting them. The serialized novels I'll post as the completed novel when the novel is completely posted.  And I'll be doing illustrations for them.  I think the first things I'll post will be short stories, but eventually I'll be serializing a novel.  And I have a novel in mind.  All I have to say is: The Pariah (a series you've heard me talk about if you have seen some of my art pieces on Facebook; that is, if you've read what I wrote along with the art).

 I'm really excited about all of this! I'm going to have a ton of things on my plate.  And all of it is delicious, in so far as I enjoy it.  I am not fool enough to think that I won't have difficulties and that there won't be any hardships. But I plan on doing these things for the rest of my life: Art, Music, and Literature.

 As I say so often on here: Things are happening...

The gears are turning...

It won't be long now...
