My first manuscript

I've come to the conclusion thanks to a meeting with some wonderful authors at the local author showcase, that in order for my name to start to circulate amongst the community, I need to get myself published. Soon. The best way to get my feet wet is a short story, something I can crank out in a few days. I've done some research on proper manuscript layout and applying that to how I'm presenting it. I'll locate a publisher probably tomorrow that accepts fantasy short stories, and see about getting it submitted A.S.A.P.

The name of the story is one that my fellow gaming friends will be familiar with: The Blue Lupine. It encompasses his first real fight against injustice that takes place shortly after the Yakuza burned down the village he had been staying at for the past two years. It's a character close to my heart, and a setting that's very familiar to me; write what you know as they say. I'll probably be finished with it by the end of the week at the latest.

I'd also like to take this time to announce my young readers book idea. I've decided to actually DO something with the Battlecats characters and call them Terracats: Defenders of Humanity. Nothing solid on paper yet, but I'd been brainstorming the few scenes of the book in my head at work today.

The Chronicles of Gaia has had its name changed. I've decided on something to call the series that's a bit more appropriate: The Wintermoon Legacies. The first book in the series will be called Cutting Teeth, since the main character is on his first adventures away from home.

That's all for tonight, time to write some more of that short story, then curl up on my bed to read for an hour or so. Thank you and good night.
