Appreciate the kind words, gents. Thanks for your support.

And you're right, Bob -- it isn't easy at all. The journey has been demanding and I was forced to abandon my dragon-slaying dreams. No regrets, though. I mean, it's not as if anyone ever made a buck off pixels.

Congrats. As an aspiring author myself (with only three chapters left to revise before I'm done!), I fully appreciate all the effort you must have put in (and all the dragons you had to miss). Writing a book is a MUCH harder thing than anyone imagines when they first start: props to you for finishing.

Thanks Loramin.

Best of luck to you. During my final edit, the last three chapters took about six months. It was unreal. In my defense, we did move from Iowa to Colorado and purchase a new home during that time. Just had too much going on to pump out top-notch zombie lit.

Congrats on finishing it dude. That is always the hardest part!

Just want to say thanks to everyone from Project99 who checked out my book this past week. This was one of the first places I brought it, because I trusted you fine folks would support me -- and you didn't disappoint. Extra thanks if you're one of the people who have already finished reading it and dropped me a review on Amazon. In the coming weeks I'll be embarking on a blog tour, which is totally bizarre. At least I won't have to get off my ass and can most likely squeeze in some EQ, even. I'll also be publishing some short stories for free.

Thanks again, P99. Been a really good week.

Congrats BT. You've always been pretty consistently in my top 5 favorite posters, so I'm sure that carries over into your literature.

That's crazy, but yeah real life can certainly get in the way of writing/editing.

As it turns out I still have another whole round of edits to go through with my technical editor, so I'm not as close to done as I thought. Still, when I get down to the final three chapters again I certainly hope they don't take me as long at it took you! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Let us know when those short stories are coming id like to check them out if i dig them ill give your book a buy. Pretty engrossed in the wheel of time series atm but would be cool to read stuff from a fellow elf sim player.
