Paul C Skertich | The macabre and horror.

Before I shut my eyes to sleep, I wanted to let those know a couple of updates from my journey as a inspiring writer. First update, I'm working on a new manuscript. If you had liked "The house On Elm", you'll like this new manuscript that is a total remake of my first self-published novel. I'm loving it as I write away in this new manuscript. I'm currently reading: Stephen King's Pet Sematary which had gave me a large boost inspiration and new insights into writing. For maybe a good hard month or so (give or take), I've hit a snag in writing. I wanted to have the next big thing, but I failed to come up with anything really good . I jumped around a bit with some very rough drafts on a few manuscripts, but my focus wasn't glued as I hoped. So, I took a breather from writing a bit--or so to say--and began reading. Something sparked inside, I felt while reading Pet Sematary. I danced about inside my head about rewriting "The House On Elm"...

I've been a busy duck, placing new features on the website, seeking for a job, finishing my manuscript and sending them to literary agents. I haven't self-published a novel in a while or anything on Amazon. I've been mainly focused on getting traditionally published. The self-publishing had taught me amazing things like grind harder to make a dollar. :) On a serious note, I love a good challenge. I want my novels to be in bookstores and global. But wait --- KDP now has the extended distribution. Yeah, that's nice and all, but I still want to get traditionally published. For me at least, a lot of benefits come from being traditionally published. I get to focus on what I love doing -- writing my head off! When you self-publish your novels, you can market on social media or run ads on Amazon Marketing Services. And I need more coffee! I'll figure out what to blog post next time. Until then, stay awesome friends!
