Back To Work<< Previous post: TDRBack To Work
As you may have noticed, the little bar graph on my linkblog that I used from last Fall through this past May to track my progress as I finished "TDR," is now barely registering at all. That's because I've reset it to track the progress of the new novel I'm working on as of now. I hope to talk this week with my agent about TDR - how to improve it & how ultimately to market it to publishers, but while the slow wheels of the business of publishing turn, I needed to get back to writing - after all, that's what writer's do, right? I don't have much to say about this book except that I'm excited about it, as I always am when beginning a new project. It's not the next book in the series that TDR is intended to start. It's a stand alone book, and it won't be nearly as long as the 140K word TDR - probably just half as long. It is, which is a departure for me, a sort of futuristic re-imagining of a classic. Which classic, and how it has been re-imagined - well, that's my secret for now... Comments, Pingbacks:

If you can draw comfort from shared experience, LB, then know that I am raising my writing sword with you. Revising Sword in the Stars and plotting the realistic fiction story I told you about. Ha! And I feel privileged to know which classic you are re-imagining! lol

Muwha ha ha ha! Now we have the key to figuring out what the book is! There are only maybe... thirty to one hundred 'classic' books? Gathering clues splattered across the internet, we find...
A. LB Graham reads Jane Austen. B. At least a few of Jane Austen's books are 'classics' according to any definition. OH, NO! That leads me to my unfortunate conclusion that your definition of classic isn't the classic one! Oh well. Hopefully it goes well. Permalink

Good job! 11% done. You're more faithful to your book than I am to mine. I need to work on it more. You're sort of an example for me.

I'm happy that you're writing so much. And I'll be even happier when I can read what you've written. Permalink

Why did you pick P&R for BotB? Would you like to be published by them again, even though they don't advertise as fiction publishers (at least, not in Writers Market)?

Mr. Graham,
Not to differ from the subject, but I have a question for you. Right now I am sort of in a thirst after reading your books over 9-12 times; I need a good, exciting, action-packed, Christion, clean, fiction/fantasy series similar to yours. (though I have not found a book or series[excluding the Bible], including such epics as Tolkien's "Lord of The Rings" that can compare to yours. After reading BOTB, I decided that, contrary to popular opinion, LOTR is not the best fantasy series out there.) Not to meander too far from my question, however, I know my request is a tall order, but I would like to know if you have any books/series fitting my crazy-teenage-definition-of-a-good-book that you could recommend? Thank you so much for some of the best reading I have ever seen! Keep up the good work and I cannot wait for your next published work. Permalink

Isaac - there are lots of options, but one place to start might be with Stephen Lawhead's "Taliesin," which is the first book in a pretty cool re-imagining of the Arthur story.
