HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I'm only about 23 days late with this.


I don't really have anything new to report, just wanted to write a new post, basically. I touched up Gatekeeper's blog page a teeny bit, uploaded a script for a 1 minute film I wrote last year which you can check out now! The film is currently being edited but is nearing completion. I'm trying not to rush the editors because, uh, no one's getting paid for this. lol I'm beyond glad I managed to find a really dedicated team who stayed with this to the end.

Some other Gary news. A while ago, I contemplated posting The Unseen's manuscript here, but I don't think I'm going to do that. Reason being, I'm still working on it. I use the feedback provided by my critique group to make adjustments. Right now, I submitted chapter 7 to be critiqued, so basically what you have is the first, like, 3rd of the manuscript polished/as polished as it can be for now while the rest of it, err, isn't. I'm also handwriting, what I hope to be, my second manuscript, Yours, a horror/fantasy/romance novel. I never wrote romance before, but it was in my spirit to write one, so I'm currently reading a ton of romance novels to figure out the common plot points that make a romance story ~work. I've learned quite a lot so far.

I MAY decide to rewrite Barbarians soon, really take my time with it, figure out what didn't work (a lot lol) and try my best to fix my mistakes. People seem to really enjoy the dialogue and the premise itself, and so I don't want to abandon it, even if I wrote it during a hard period in my life.

LAST THING. I have two flash fiction pieces that I may revise and post here, so be on the look out!
