I'm working on producing triplets...I don't know how many drafts and words
have been discarded...but gestation has taken 9 years so far. Talk about

I've got about 30 foetuses (or "foeti") on ice, some going back 15 years. I
never finish what I start...probably one of the reasons my ex broke up with

Sounds like the one I have I've dubbed "the novel that ate my lunch."
130,000 words survived of a quarter million or so and I have a plot
problem. <whimper>
And I wrote the first couple of chapters about fifteen years ago...

Dunno. I *do know taking 12 years per novel would limit one's output

I suspect that in Tolkien's case, some of those years were spent

Well, about all I'm willing to confess to publicly is it's a kind of gay
private detective thing with a bit of an oddball sci-fi element tossed in.
And if I did this right, about a third of the way in or so, I've messed
with the reader's expectations enough they have a "what the hell?"
reaction...

Well, about all I'm willing to confess to publicly is it's a kind of gay
private detective thing with a bit of an oddball sci-fi element tossed in.
And if I did this right, about a third of the way in or so, I've messed
with the reader's expectations enough they have a "what the hell?"
reaction...
Didn't Clive Barker do something like that? Not accusing you of plagurism
or anything, but if that sold well you might have an audience.

Clive Barker has gone on to make films of his stories...including an
adaptation of "Salome and the Forbidden" in which he stared, including one
scene where he danced around naked with an erection on film. I'm sure we
can expect the same level of dedication to your work too!

Since everything I'm working on this year is aimed at (I hope) quick

self-publishing would defeat the purpose...
