Dungeon and Dragon magazines should have gotten the axe a long time ago really. With the internet, people really don't need flashy mags with pretty artwork, and inflated price tags. Sites like EnWorld are and have always been a superior alternative to the mags...hence the longevity and the...

Visit a store on Oxford Street by the Marble Arch called "Churchills" if it is still there...they had all sorts of authentic 19th century Shirlock Holmes clothes, kilts, and overcoats. Neat Place.

Good luck! I received my author copies this week and guess what...I did find some mistakes....DOH!! When I undertook writing a novel I did so under the assumption that I would not get published. I got published. So now I enter the arena under the assumption that it won't sell. So negative, but...

If I was to live off of my "work" right now...these would be my farewell words to the world. I might get lucky, we all might get lucky, but until then we're just wageslaves with a creative habit.

I hear feel you in regards to the "distractions"...I keep them away as best as I can...being eccentric, drinking too much, working all the time (hospital jobs are 24/7 and can consume all sorts of time!), and being generally obnoxious seems to keep the number of pesky people in my life to a minimum.

If I ever finish more novels, lol, I may have to check them out.

I found that if a publisher can get you out there that's good enough for a first stab at things. If an author sells, great, if not, oh well try again! Having a shot is better than spending years getting rejected.

LOL! YES! ME SPACE RULES! Dude, I never thought I would even consider shameless pimping, but this is what I want to do and wage-slavin' aint what tickles my scummy if you know what I mean? Brilliant, I mean brilliant...People who have something to say should say it and get the word out...piss...

! Yes, an answer I can understand, lol. I don't know how my current location of Kalamazoo, MI will deal with me, but there's a small town I'm from that might get wind. I opened a ME SPACE (ie My SPace) to do some promo and so far it's doing well, but I have weird friends, but that's cool...

I've seen a lot of HOW TO publications and such, but it's one of those things I suppose needs to be tackled head on to learn about. For instance the other day I had to prepare the "press release" for the local papers...what does it do? I have no idea...I'm doing and learning as I go. I do know...

The bomb: If I think it's good. This is my first work and different from the artwork I usually do. Scared to death about it really. What a pain writing and getting published can be. It's cool that you don't have any published novels. An opinion is an opinion and I/we should all appreciate...

Wow That's awesome advice, I mean it. I wish I had that from the start, but all I got from the beginning was ...I can help...for only $$$ up front, or here's a packet on how to find people to pay $$$ to and so on... The agents I browsed were the fleecers and there was all this money up front...

So that's when it's out. Working on my next two now. Peace, Dear Eric Allaire, The official release date for your book, Ostland, will be approximately two months from the date of printing (Monday, 4/2/2007), on Monday, 6/4/2007. This is the date by which other booksellers should have...

Getting it out there can be a hassle. I learned that it's who you know, just like any other endeavor. You're on the right track right now, so keep up the good work!

Not odd at all really.,,needing to write. Art is a skill that can be learned, but I believe that it is the NEED to do it that makes one an artist.

Nah, when the remainder of their conception was drying somewhere I was already discovering the wonders of sex...it's flattering, but at this stage in life it is also disruptive. I work from 6am to 2:30pm five days a week at a hospital (they may call between 11pm to 3am). I have to get up at...

There's the whole "mystical" aspect of this too to consider if it is something the individual is willing to do. During sleep our brains are in what's supposed to be downtime and are thus open to communiques (Western medicine blames the subcon). Perhaps you are being pointed to a certain course...

I like your work...art student background or were you born talented?

Agents are evil fleecers! I went with a POD... They have access to Amazon, Barnes & Noble and so on. Online, so the writer has to pimp the shelf stores. It makes sense since the amount that is published daily is enough to fill a store! If I sell, they make money, if I don't they still make...

I visited the "Apple" in '95 and thought it was really cool, but....there were people and lots of them! My secondary reason for writing; so I can move to the sticks and hide from my fellow man-monkeys for the rest of my life! Write, get a check, then hide is the plan. When I go to the local...
