Let the quest begin!

The quest for publication!

In the 5th grade, I wrote a 2part series featuring a young, dynamic sleuth and his equally young, sexy gal-pal. In part 1, we learned how these two charistmatic cats formed the partnership that would help them solve the evil crime they would soon encounter. In part 2, we saw the sleuth kidnapped by a scientist and given angel's wings, all to be reprogrammed and used in an ultimate plan to take over the world. (Sound like James Patterson's Maximum Ride series? That's not a mistake. How did I then write it a decade before his series hit the stands? I'll tell you as soon as he returns my phone calls...)

This 2part series carried more suspense than the Sixth Sense

How can I be so sure? Because almost every sentence began with the word, "SUDDENLY."

Does that also remind you of James Patterson? If it gets me as many Benjamins as he has, I might live with the comparison.

So years later, after letting writing fall away, picking it back up, and adding several suspensful words to my vocabulary, I am picking this thing up full force. I have a bucket of short stories, a novel, several screenplays, a few plays (two of them produced!), I now begin the quest for publication.

Hobbit and I spent the weekend combing through the Writers Market Guide for Novels and Short Stories 2008. We found several juicy opportunities. Just check out some of these magazine titles.

ANTI-MUSE

ARMCHAIR AESTHETE

ALIEN SKIN MAG (surprisingly not for alien porn)

REJECTED QUARTERLY (they only accept submissions if you have several rejection letters)

Suddenly, the cream of the crop!!!!

TOASTED CHEESE

If there is a god, God, or malevolent demon that wants to convince me it is a force for good, Toasted Cheese will be my gateway to fame.
