Practice Makes Me Perfect

I've already got a couple of writing projects going on. I have a short story that I'm working on to submit to Wierd Tales that's called (for the moment) Horror in the Basement . I'm almost certain that I'm going to change the name, but for now I'm focusing on getting the first draft finished and then killing it with a red pen so it can rise again as something better, or "editing" as most people put it. My proposal for Dungeon Magazine is almost done; it just needs a title and I need a cool name for the main villain and I'll be ready to hit "send" on that e-mail. I need to get in touch with my local RPGA Living Forgotten Realms coordinator and see if they have any adventures that need written for our region. Plus I need to outline a Hunter: The Vigil story I want to submit for the Storytelling Adventure System that I want to write a proposal for.

And yet, I have this character stuck in my head. He doesn't fit into my "horror" stories, at least not perfectly, so I have nowhere to put him but he deserves to stretch his literary legs.

So guess where I'm gonna put him? You're welcome. Call it an early or late birthday present if you like. Or call it crap, I don't care. Criticism can only improve my writing so get as nasty as you like; my skin's as thick as stone, and my head is thicker.

With that out of the way, I'll be starting a series of posts entitled "Kill Me Please" featuring the adventures of my new character, Lucas Moon. I'd tell you more about hin, but I'd rather you just find out the details as his story unfolds.

And who knows? Maybe if you guys like him enough I'll try to get him published!

End of Demented Rambling.
