Tiny Tidbits

Me oh my, I sent out another short-story to my lovely editor friend regarding being awkward, magical and misunderstood. Haven't we all felt like that before? No, no, this a period piece. Granted, I have only penned two pieces in the era of crinolines and gloves, though this one is set in the land of cassette tapes, scrunchies and shoulder-pads. Would the 80's be a period piece? I am not sure but regardless the story centers around a teenager who feels invisible, beat-up and queer in all senses of the word.

Can we say: personal subject matter, oui but autobiographical, non. It is strange brew of my own experiences plus a friend of mine's life blended into one tale. Though for this particular story, the working title is "One Last Vigil" which has inspirations from the Fantastic Four's character: Invisible Woman, Shakespeare's Ariel via the Tempest and the X-Men's Kitty Pyrde aka Shadow Cat.



There we have it. What in terms happens after should be the dreadful part. Promoting my work. I have yet master how to do so properly. I will be taking advantage of social media, at present everything is loosely connected to my personal FaceBook page but friends say I should use Twitter, Instagram and the like. Me becoming modern is laughable as I still contact people via my Ouija board. Though I can learn I suppose to adapt. If you're curious about my first self-published piece it's available on amazon ready to be snatched up, read and reviewed. 

Another tangent: what to do for the artwork for it, hmmmm I do have ideas.
