Armoire Pirate Update

Greetings...
I have pulled The Armoire Pirate down from Smashwords and Amazon temporarily to revise the manuscript (and also to prepare for launching the next three books in the series).
I have tried to take down all the links for it, but if you accidentally found your way there and it didn't work, and then you found your way here, I apologize.

So, so sorry...

Aargh!

Outlining a New Book - AAARGH!

I've started working on a new project - working title: "The Omega Notebook Project" - and so far I'm following my usual approach...

1. I have a germ of an idea, share it with my family, and they say "Meh."
2. I write down the germ, still convinced it has promise.  I assume I just wasn't able to communicate how cool the idea was to my family.  Plus, they are notoriously hard to impress.
3. I leave the written-down germ in a notebook for an indefinite period of time (in this case, about a year).
4. I get inspired one day to write the first page (more on this below).
5. I file the first page away for an indefinite period of time (in this case, about six months).
6. I find the first page while I'm looking for something else and decide it's really worth working up.
7. I start outlining, get halfway through and say "Meh."

Which is where I am now with this project.  I think it sounds like a really fun story, but the outline makes it seem boring and predictable.  On the other hand, if I just start from the first page and go freestyle, who knows if I'll end up where I need to at the end?!?

About the first page thing...
The way it works is I get and idea for a story and an environment and characters and whatnot, and then, all of a sudden, one day I'll get a flash and write an introductory page that sets the voice and tone and character for the whole piece.  It actually works pretty well - I've got four or five sitting around now, just waiting for me to grit my teeth and finish an outline...

More to come, 
Cheers!

Red Raiders available at Amazon.com

"The Book" is now available on Amazon through their self-publishing service.  It's $0.99 because that was the minimum.  I couldn't figure out how to make it free.  Maybe I'm dumb or maybe Amazon doesn't want to give away free stuff for free.  Likely both...

I just discovered the "Post Title" window up there!  I'm such a cool, professional like blogger and web presence and stuff!  It only took a few weeks for me to figure out I could put a title on my blog posts!  I can't wait to see how it looks...

Red Raiders has passed review at Smashwords and will soon be available via most major ebook retailers!  I will have to figure out Amazon separately, however...

For the time being, the book will remain available for free, because, really, what have I got to lose?

Peace
