College is going, some say well, I say it could be better. In any case there are some new things that have occurred and is going to be open to you all soon. Yes, the books are going on amazon, one can be ordered in paperback starting Halloween and it is the first real novel length (50k) I did for Nano and Game of Tomes. The rest are coming and maybe in different forms, I am learning this whole self-publishing thing. The first is writing time, a story about how a young woman finds out that the magic and adventure she craves is sometimes closer than she thinks.

Now, I am also working on learning how to be a better advocate, because a school picked a black hat wearing outlaw to be someone to defend the people going through the halls of not one college but two. That was a bit of a problem over time because as I got more serious about it there was more to do. I have made no qualms that I do not think myself as a good man, and hopefully none of that bled here. What I realized is after all the fighting, the scrapping  the clawing, and brutality. Sometimes you need someone who is like that to get jobs done, and that is okay.

There was a lot of growth that was done since I wrote last. I had a lot of lessons and painful roads, and a lot of standing before the final bell. I found out that groups made moves to make sure that I would never climb higher than I was. Big groups that tilted the table because they could not break down my morals, that I was the outlaw to their mediocrity.

To those who read this thinking they got away, I do know. I know who you are, and I know why you did it. Something weird happened looking towards the stars because when multiple groups felt I was the outsider, the too fiery, the too strong, the too hard. There was a moment of calm. Everyone that joined me on those battles learned, and grew. One outlaw turned into a group of more than fifteen in one case to learn and a group of twenty. These people now look to help others because they saw a loud too old college student put some cracks in a lot of doors and while none of them broke, a lot are much weaker now. I know what’s coming, and you may have stopped me, but I am not the last shot, and now both groups must see that there is more coming. Have fun with that.

I am still not great about speaking with my emotions on this blog. Call it a bit of growth I may still need, but there is always something that could use work could it not?  One thing that many of you may know from working near me or with me, is when someone wants to step on my toes, then they need to realize that there is a price to pay. Disrespect never did well, and my wall is filling with certifications and awards that people thought would never happen.

This will be going up on the first day of November because of a couple things, first is that I will be returning to Game of Tomes with a little bit of business to handle. Second, by this time one of my books will now be available in paperback on Amazon. That is something I did not think would happen but sure enough that is the case.

It’s mine, and even if you read it and hate it, it still exists and that’s good enough for me right now.  

Writing Time on Amazon

The problem is the other books that will obviously need a cover and then I must finish some series up including the devil book.

Devil book? Yes, someone made a comment how releasing ten versions of a book where it is the same save for the ending would be brutal, and who knows it may be eleven because I have a sadistic streak in me. Think about that if you read a novel, you are engrossed, and the ending is one of however many.  If it is a bad book, it will be laughed at, and if it is a good novel otherwise, I feel the Post Office will have to start x-raying packages any “fans” would send me. Logistically, it does provide some challenges because that would mean you would have to have all ten endings written and the leadups and that would be the equivalent of a new novel. Then it must be given at random at first, and then after that it needs to be verified so that they can choose the one they want.

Doing like that I feel could be good and would be different but not painful because after all the endings are out you can just find the one you want. It would also be good because then you can see which endings people like and why. After a while you can make a hardcover version and have all the endings in one place, and because my sadistic streak can be summed as the equivalent of a highway. I would put a new ending there specifically for that release.

Rating wise would have to be careful as well because the endings would need to be enough to not change the rating or they can be sussed out by a quick investigation of the book.

Some people may go and not like it and say it is horrible. I understand fully only under the conditions that people like that book, and that if they do, they are entertained by the endings would it ever work out, for anything else would just be a mockery. Also, this is the internet age, you can ask a doctor halfway around the world the proper color your beard should be within a few minutes. There is some expectation there may be conversations about this then.

Stay Strong, and enjoy the book, just be aware the Epub is cheaper.
