Great question, Darrell. Thanks.

CLOSING THOUGHTS...

It's going on 2:30 in the morning so I think it's time to call it a night. But first, a few closing thoughts...

Today was a busy day at Nash Central. A lot of admin work, marketing, promotion, and the like. The big thing was designing and building the SNOW FALLS audio/ebook combo prize contest I posted earlier. This took a bit longer than originally planned, but things adjusted a bit after talking with a writer friend about it. He offered up a suggestion that made it a lot more work, but should give a bigger return on my time investment. Fingers crossed. I posted all of the pertinent details at www.ben-books.com, www.bobbynash.com, and all over social media. Please, tell your friends. I'd love to have lots of entries. 

Working on the contest got me thinking about my plans for SNOW.

One of my goals for 2019 is to double the size of Snow's readership. I like to think this is an attainable goal, but it'll take some work. There are 2 more books left to round out series 1 and I have already started formulating plans for what happens beyond. I really like the stand-alone format. That will definitely continue. I'm still trying to decide if I want to do a 6 book over-arching story like with series 1 or just do stand alone stories and weave in subplots to set up future stories. I'm still kicking around ideas in my head on that one. 

I would love to hear your thoughts on the matter. Do you like the series and the big plot or is 1 book/1 story the way to go? Maybe mix-n-match. I'm curious to see what the characters want to do, but would love to hear your thoughts as well.

Tomorrow, my day is devoted to writing. At least that's the plan. There's an old joked that asks, "Do you know how to make God laugh? Make plans." Hopefully, after sharing the sale and contest info again tomorrow, I will be able to spend several good hours tapping away at the laptop.

Sweet dreams.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I decided to take advantage of the nice Thanksgiving weather to do some writing outside. I don't have any big plans other than lunch with my parents and brother so I'm working on one of the novels that a publisher is anxiously (or is that impatiently?) awaiting. I'm so far behind schedule on deadlines and still playing catch up. Lots to do. Lots to do. Moreover, I'm thankful to have understanding publishers. It means a lot.

I am also thankful to everyone who visits this page or follows my misadventures on social media. You guys help keep me going. I mean that seriously. Plus, thanks to my patrons over on Patreon for your help. A big thank you goes out to my readers and those who have bought books. I an so thankful that I can tell stories and it's a nice bonus that people actually buy and read them. I'm also thankful for my family. I don't share a lot of personal details, but 2016 has been rough on my family )2014 and 2015 weren't no prizes either, believe me), but we're still here and sill weathering the storm. I am definitely thankful for that.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Bobby

AN EVIL INTENT UPDATE!

BEN Books Author Bobby Nash shared the following:

I added some wordage to Evil Intent today, but also just cut 700 some odd words too. It's okay though. It's much tighter without them. Currently sitting at 59,140 words. Still a ways to go.

Coming soon.

THE HEARTS HAVE IT!

There is truth in this.

I’ve moved a step forward in my 2013 writing schedule and it’s shaping up to be a busy year. So far, I have scheduled to write (or finish in some cases) several novels in the New Year. Novels already started and on tap to be finished are Evil Intent, Lance Star: Sky Ranger “Cold Snap!,” and Blood Shot.

You’d think that’s enough, right?

Not even close.

I’ve already started prepping Deadly Hearts!, the tentatively titled (so it’s possible it might change) follow up to Deadly Games!. I like the title because it allows me to keep the “Deadly” part of the title and also keep a game-related motif in the title. I made up a mock cover placeholder for the website, which I’m also posting here. This is not the final cover. I have an idea for the cover designed and mapped out. I think it’s going to look great. I love designing covers. It is a fun challenge. I’ve already come up with a title and cover design for a third book featuring John Bartlett and Benjamin West after Deadly Hearts!.

I’ve also had an idea for a follow up to Earthstrike Agenda, which was a surprise even to me. We’ll see what happens, but it’s possible we might just see Virginia Harmon in action again.

I have a few other project planned for 2013, but it’s a little too early to start talking about those, especially considering how easy it is for those plans to change.

Keep watching bobbynash.com and BEN Books for more details as they’re available.

Happy Cyber-Monday!

Table Talk - Counting Words and Runaway Tales

The wonderful thing about creating stories is the often limitless nature of creating things. There are no boundaries, nothing a creator cannot do in the name of making up a great tale. However, this can often lead to pitfalls and unforeseen circumstances. This week, we check in on Barry Reese, Bobby Nash and Mike Bullock as they discuss applying some structure and what to do when the story bleeds over the lines.

New Pulp’s Table Talk - Counting Words and Runaway Tales 0 is now available at http://www.newpulpfiction.com/ or at the direct link: http://www.newpulpfiction.com/2011/12/table-talk-counting-words-and-runaway.html
