I think I'll look into that then.

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

Eight years.

yeah..I'm!:D ;)

Wow! Is it paying off now?

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.

hey doc fustus I wrote a vampir story and i think its good and i want u to read it and tell me if you think i could publish it if so pm me omg i could be famous lol!!!!1

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.

Feedback????

waiting for the next episode...great going, FC!
