Suvudu: Second Post
The second post was finished on Friday as I took the train southward from Seattle to Vancouver WA. I think it accomplishes the two things I wanted it to do: 1) discuss Suvudu a bit more in depth, and 2) talk a bit about me so people know where some of their content is coming from.
I'm definitely a personal life type of blogger. Rather than report straight news, I like blogs that give the reader a feel for who the writer is. It adds a level of intimacy between the writer and the reader that I feel is necessary to easily navigate through all the spin that is out there.
Some of the people who will be also contributing to Suvudu have read the first two blogs and liked them both. I can wipe that sweat from my brow. Both posts were fairly dry but they needed to be; now I can branch out a bit and begin talking about things that are hopefully not only interesting to me but to others out there.
I have since left Vancouver WA and drove the 14 hours to Bakersfield CA. In the heat only the middle of California can dish out, I'm thinking I will continue writing my Paolini/Bowling/Fantasy Writers piece, and then I have to go Hellboy 2, Wall-E, and later this week The Dark Knight to review them. Should be great fun.
And next week: the San Diego Comic Con! I have my schedule planned out for all four days of the Con and which panels I will be going to. It's going to be a very busy four days but I am really looking forward to it! I wonder if any of you are going to be there? Hmmm?
But right now, I need to write on The Dark Thorn. Therefore I am going out to the pool, find some shade next to the water, put my feet in a bit, and then write on my laptop beneath the sweltering heat. I want to finish this 20th chapter so it is off my back entirely and I can get back into the beginning parts of the march toward the climax! Fun stuff!

I think you went to the wrong Vancouver, dude....

Probably. But for some odd reason security wherever I go stops me! Crossing the border into Vancouver BC is about as difficult for me as making a diamond from coal--it takes pressure, heat and a long time to get what I want!
Your bald head is a warning flag, methinks.

Hey I just wanted to say that I read your prologue for Dark Thorn and it was really good! I'm really interested in reading the series when you finish it. I'm from the Terry Brooks website, khyber4ever. Anyway, talk to you later. :)

Shawn!
I had no idea you were a writer as well. Excellent!
Icing on the cake.
Tiffany: Nice to hear from you and great that you found your way here! Hope to deliver a good book your way sometime in the next year!
Sandchigger: Yes, I am a writer. And that's why I have a unique perspective on most things in this industry that most people who let negativity drive them don't have.
