Story Hack

I am actually making progress with the editing of Oasis. I’m now over half way through, and I want to get that thing done. Progress has just been slow, that’s all.
I’ve been having difficulty carving out time to do the edits, as I picked up a couple of web-development side jobs. I’m done with one [...]

It has come to my attention that I have too many projects going on. I just had to scale back.
The biggest thing you may notice is that I won’t be posting new fiction on Fridays until I’m done with the line edits of Oasis. It’s been too long. I really need to get that sucker [...]

A couple of my real life friends keep asking me when Oasis is going to be published. I always tell them “As soon as I finish editing it.”
Well, assuming there’s anyone out there that cares, I’ve got two useful meters in the sidebar.
They match my process:
Line Edits - I’m going through line by line looking [...]

OK, normally I take criticism in stride. I know the stuff I write is not for everybody. If you don’t like the subject matter, or my writing style, fine. There’s just some stuff that really irks me.
I got a comment in the past day or so on the first chapter of Oasis that says:
“olive skin”
“a [...]

First off, let me just say thank you to everybody for reading Oasis. And of course for your astute typo catching.
I knew the ending would not be everyone’s cup of tea, but hey, what book ending is? For me, it kept in with the pulpy flavor that I’ve wanted Oasis to have. After all, Oasis [...]

Author’s Note: Happy Independence Day! This is it, folks. Last chapter was twice as long as a regular one. This one is about four times the usual length. I could have split it into two or three chapters easily, and I probably will do that for the paperback version, but I figured since I told [...]

All right, I put up a website for Oasis. Go check it out and let me know what what you think.
www.ZombieNovelOasis.com
I also need some reviews of Oasis to put up on that site. So if you’s like to help me out, please leave your review in the comments here, or email it to reviews AT [...]

[Author's note: Wow. 60 Chapters. Can you believe it? And only one left to go... If this is the first time you've seen Oasis, you're probably better off starting with Chapter 1: The Last Shift.]
Underground
It’s just natural to just take something when someone else hands it out to you. Sales people use this tactic to [...]

[Author's note. Oh boy! Only 2 more chapters left! Will Corbin survive? If you've never read Oasis before, start with Chapter 1. And don't you worry, when Oasis is over, I wont leave you high and dry. I've got lots of stuff planned.]
The Bombs
Beth opened the door to come in and the doctor brushed her [...]

[Author's note: All right, folks. I think there's only 3 chapters left. We'll see how fast I can get through the final few twists and turns. If you've just learned about Oasis, start with chapter 1.]
Rest & Recovery?
I gasped and opened my eyes. It felt like my head was finally above water after someone had [...]
