It's been a day of cleaning up here. Notebooks out, trying to collate all of the digital notes into some semblance of order - that kind of thing. I re-read some of the story work I did across the Spring and Summer and although I posted them here previously, chose to take them down and then, today, chose to put them back up again. So excuse me if I commit that most horrendous of sins and engineer this post to conform to some kind of SEO results (cue a ton of junk mail from people I don't know who will try and tell me they didn't notice me in the top three google results and for eight trillion dollars they can fix that for me and zintuple my income) for it to get picked up. One of the downsides of not playing the fb game I guess - so here goes (regular check-iners, just sweep across the next paragraph - it pains me too): Today I reposted some short stories. I was going to rough them up and make them free short stories for kindle but then I figured my time was better spent writing some new material, so chose instead to post them here instead. You can click that if you like - or hit the short stories tab up above. The first resurrection is the ongoing supernatural crime serial in the shape of short stories featuring Inspector Kang. I kind of like how that's panning out but I have no idea where it's headed. I may rework it when I get to around part six or seven but there's something about 'growing up in public' that appeals to me. The same goes for the August Moon serial - dear SEO spider, that's a free supernatural story kind of thing with monsters in it - which will head off in a very different direction. Somewhere in my head, the worlds of Kang and Moon collide but it certainly won't be for a little while yet. There are things that happen in free supernatural monster and pulp crime short stories that need to be written about first. (See what I did there?)
If anybody passing by really would like them for the kindle, drop me a note and I'll get it done. They're all here, ready to go but I need to re-design the covers on the master files - if you're curious as to what they look like, scroll down (or up if my SEO didn't work and you turned up here late) and you'll fine them. On which subject, I've decided to kill off all the third party material that used to appear in that column. I deleted my instagram account yesterday. Aside from the 'media furore' about them being able to sell your stuff and then retracting the statement, I found that to be like your girlfriend saying she wanted an open relationship and then changing her mind when you got the suitcase out from under the bed for her. But rather simply put, I'm not a photographer and have nothing of value to share in my instagrams anyway.
That's why the God's invented blogs... isn't it? "Come on world, let's micro-blog with our micro-minds." No thanks (Will that count as a good SEO keyword?)
COMMERCIAL BREAK:
New Harry Bosch is always good news right? I'm listening to this in the car right now (well, not right this second obviously) but with all that muscle behind them, is that really the best book trailer they could come up with? Sounds to me like every police procedural novel I've ever read. Get your act together guys...
