200804231612.jpg

So the old email box has been flooded in the last week. And everybody is asking the same question. What in the hell is going on?

The only thing I find lacking in your work to date is the lack of quantity. I enjoy Edwin, as well as the short stories of yours I came across in Voices: New Media Fiction. Do you currently have any ETA or status update for your loyal fans?

Yes I do. I’ve completed the first draft of the novel. And I’m about a third of the way through the rewrite. I’m good for about a chapter a day. And I’m on chapter 14 now. That’s about 26,000 words rewritten out of a target of 80ish. The beginning has gone a little slower than I would have liked because I’ve added a couple of charcters and an entire subplot.

I am also rather curious about how much progress you’ve made in the last three months.

Me too. Or curious as to how hard it got there for a little while. I’ve found that if I try and put the hurry up on it (like I sometimes do with my shorter work) it always, always comes out bad. But if you just plug away at it every day at the same time in a workmanlike fashion, it comes together faster than you expect. Mostly, I had to clear my head from all the garbage of previous incarnations to write this clearly and well.

I was highly entertained and can’t wait for any other items that may off shoot from this story.

You know, I could easily spend my time doing more audio episodes. And I have no end of ideas for off-shoots and spin offs. But I feel that would mean that this is as far as the story will go. No, it’s time for a more communicable form. So the time I can spare from my life (which there’s less and less of) is devoted to the novel.

So I have a question for all of you. I’m thinking about podcasting the novel as I work on this rewrite. I have some reservations about this, not from a media standpoint, but from an artistic standpoint. The episodes as they exist are more along the lines of notes. Thoughts on toward a character and a story. What I’m trying to do by writing the novel is have a full and complete, fully realized story. But there’s a difficulty with this

What if the story changes?

Sure that sounds stupid, but, believe me. It’s happened to me more than once as I’ve written this novel . It started off in the direction I wanted, then it changed dramatically. And for the better.

And I don’t know if my fear makes any sense. I’m just looking for some way to get this thing done and appeal you slavering (and much loved) fans. Thoughts anybody?

(Think Arthur Anderson for supervillians.) And even though he gives very good and profitable advice – his clients don’t listen to him. So he gets so fed up, he goes into business for himself.

How to Succeed in Evil has moved to its own website. All episodes past and future will appear there from now on.

It scares you sometime after you’ve read it. It’s that quality that M. Night Shamaylan’s films have. That Poe and Lovecraft have. The piece effects you when you read it, but later - maybe years later - something calls it to mind and you’re scared all over again.

What that ideal, this was a piece I crafted while looking out the window at 2:30 am and wondering, “What would I actually do if I saw a werewolf run across the street?” Not like what would I do in movie, but what would I actually do?

But I don’t even care if it’s really true or not. It was just such a fascinating set up I had to see where it went.

This is another one of those multipart stories where I wrote the first part and had no idea how I was going to end it. It certainly motivates you to come up with an ending when you’ve publicly committed to finishing the thing. (perhaps I have found the cure for Writer’s Block)

About this restaurant. And I wrote and I wrote. And rewrote and rewrote. But no matter how hard I tried, the movie still sucked. And I tried very hard. Three major rewrites.

Years later, I finally thought I had tossed the monkey from my back — but there was this one bit about a dishwasher that I just couldn’t let go. Turned out to be a pretty entertaining short story.

It’s certainly not the Hoover dam, but as I look back, it’s no small accomplishment. www.goodwordsrightorder.com is going to get 80k hits this month. A number of people have been generous enough to donate. And, for the time being, I’ve got the bandwidth cost covered.The question is, where now? I’ve got a few ideas of my own, of course, but I thought the best thing would be to ask you, the listeners. I know what I enjoy most about the Seanachai, what I don’t know is what you enjoy the most?So I have a few questions. If you feel like helping out, just comment on this post.

  1. Favorite episode? Why?
  2. This is not an essay question, but it needs some set up. There are three kinds of Seanachai episodes. 1 Ongoing series (How to Succeed in Evil) 2. First person narrative (Roulette, Lendu, Guitar) 3. Pure fiction (mall, wolf) Which one do you like best?
  3. If you could see any or all of these stories existing outside the internet, where would be the most natural place for them to live?

Thanks for giving this some thought. And if you’re not bothering to give it any thought, well, then thanks for listening.
