Default I won't be around much

So that no one thinks I fell off the face of the Earth I'm making this post.

I am writing a script I've written into a novel and I need to spend much more time getting this finished. I've been given great marketing advise that will help with getting it published and sold, and also the timing in the market is getting to be most opportune so I need to get this thing done and available while the getting is good. Once I get it half way finished I will be sending off a chapter to someone that is key to the basis of the story who may be receptive to writing the Introduction to the book, which would also make getting it published and copies sold much easier.


I'll be around another day or two but then I will be absent from the message boards I usually frequent for a while, could be months.

I might stop back in once in a while when I take a break, but otherwise I'll be back for fun when I am done.


Steve

Thanks everyone. I've also got another opportunity with a studio now. I am contacting them to see if we can make something happen. Rejection is the rule but you've gotta knock on enough doors.

To get a gist of the storyline you can learn about the script here....

www.theprototype.biz

There is only a teaser there but a trailer with scenes from the script is in the works, something else I need to commit more time to.

Good luck with the book. I love the shot where the camera pans up from the grill onto the bonnet and blower a very menacing look indeed.

It is a shame that my brother isn't a big enough car nut to be interested in it. I will forward him a link to it though.
