Bit horrifying...but I like this look!:cool:

Papillon Noir 01-13-2009 11:56 AM

Woohoo! I have arrived! :D

OK, for the record, the door to my "shop" does not have a large hole. :p Sorry ferret, it had to be said. :D I know, I'm being a perv again.

ANYWAY, another fine chapter to the story. I'm so glad you do this, you're so good at it, and it's so fun to read!

ferretchucker 01-20-2009 02:09 PM

Very nice. It's you and me baby!;)

monalisa 01-22-2009 08:23 PM

I'm sorry master ferret *bows humbly* I've had the week from hell at work and this is the first time I had time to read this again. Once again, well done. Please continue! :) :) :)

hammerfan 01-23-2009 03:55 AM

Sorry, FC! I get so wrapped up in the story I forget to comment! It's awesome! Can't wait for more!

Dante'sInferno 01-23-2009 08:30 AM

Heh, pretty cool episode, Roshiq is pretty cool. :D

hammerfan 01-23-2009 08:32 AM

Nice! Can't wait for the next installment!

Doc Faustus 01-27-2009 01:21 PM

Good work. Have you looked into competitions for young genre writers?

ferretchucker 01-27-2009 01:37 PM

I haven't. At the moment I just write recreationally. Would you recommend it?

Dante'sInferno 01-27-2009 01:43 PM

That sounds like a good idea Ferret. But, good work, like always!

monalisa 01-27-2009 08:13 PM

I know I sound like a broken record, but I don't know what else to say except that your stories are so fun to read. Keep up the good work! :)

No you don't! I love the praise you lot give me!

newb 01-28-2009 08:11 AM

Keep up the good work Ferret. You have a very good imagination.

I wouldn't recommend being a professional writer to anybody who wouldn't give it their all. As a way to earn a living, it's on par with collecting empty soda bottles. But, if you want to put in the time and the energy, which the time and energy you put into these posts seems to indicate, you'll do fine. Make sure to have a dayjob, though, because it can be very rough going for awhile. I think looking into competitions for young writers (particularly genre oriented ones) will help you get serious and learn about the craft early, which I always recommend for people who are interested. People who pull writing out of their ass as a profession after college really annoy me. People who think writing is an easy way to make money and get famous annoy me more. Writing is only as easy a way to make money and get famous as becoming an actor, musician or director.

ferretchucker 01-28-2009 10:53 AM

I think I'll look into that then.

How long did it take you to get your literary pieces noticed?

Doc Faustus 01-28-2009 12:56 PM

Eight years.

Wow! Is it paying off now?

Doc Faustus 01-29-2009 08:22 AM

Gradually. My book JUST came out in July. It's sold about forty copies without any ad space used and print reviews are coming soon. I find it less difficult to sell stories now and I have good connections. I'm actually reading subs for somebody now. Early novels are a calling card and I feel I have a pretty good one. Unless you've found a very subtly different spin on the sexy vampire novel or the zombie apocalypse, you can't expect the agent and the million in the bank for your first book and if you can't write that stuff, you can't write it. No sense forcing it. I tried to force out a commercial novel and ended up getting passionate and writing the book that's gotten me labeled a Bizarro writer. I went in expecting the million for a first novel (the one before this) that was a Joycean/Cronenberg exploration of Hell. Wrote it for seven years. Use your time better than that and you'll be okay, or better yet, don't and learn from it.

I'll publish it for you. For a mere $400 reading fee, I'll publish it through Booksurge (one of the biggest small presses in America!) and give you a 3% royalty (industry standard of course). You will have to provide your own coverart however.
