Ongoing Projects

Alright, down to business.  For June’s status update, let me outline my major on-going projects.  I’m afraid I haven’t been as dedicated towards them as I normally am - something about moving and settling into my new place keeps me busy.  Pssst. Whatever, right?  Anyways, I am only going to graze the surface on these projects.  I will go into greater detail in the weeks to come.

Temporaltorium

First and foremost is Temporaltorium, the novel I have spent the last three years working on.  Two years to write it.  One year so far editing it.  It is roughly 220,000 words long (which in English means 750 pages).  Since December 1st, I have sent the manuscript out to 15 literary agents.  Two have yet to reply.  The others have sadly declined :(

Stranger Things Studios

For a combination of reasons, I took a break from writing to dabble in filmmaking. For my first attempt, I’ve been working solo on an odd short piece about a ghost that invades someone’s home in search of sustenance.  I have two shots to redo.  Otherwise, I already have the rest of the movie cut.  I only plan to screen it to a few friends at first.  Depending on its reception, I may air it online.  We’ll see.

Moby Dick

As a slow reader, I figured reading Herman Melville’s masterpiece would be a great idea! (That’s sarcasm for anyone that doesn’t know me).  Anyone who has ever read the book will warn you about how excessive the text is.  Once I’m finally done, I will probably do the same.  The behemoth is 655 pages long.  I have managed to chew my way through 262 pages.  That’s exactly 40% of the text.  Throughout May I could only bring myself to read 26 pages…yeah, its going to be awhile.
