A Super Satisfying Word

Posted on 17/08/2024 by Grumpa Joe

Yesterday I typed a final word on the last page of my book: END

Now comes the next step: writing a prologue and a synopsis. I had to look up both words to determine if I understood them. The synopsis is a two-page, single-spaced effort describing the story in third person present tense. It took me ten years and 91500 words to tell, and now I have to give them the Readers Digest version. What is strange is that they want to read the synopsis to get interested in reading the whole thing.

I assume my first book submission has failed, as I have not received a contract yet. A company steeped in automation and AI would also have an automated rejection letter, but I am still waiting for a notice. The lack of news tells me to move on to another adventure. This BLOG may be it.

Checking In

It seems like forever ago, I wrote that the reason I stopped blogging is because I am trying to finish my book. I am still trying. I can’t seem to get to the end in a way that makes sense. Of course, I could drop an atomic bomb in the story, which could make sense, but I’m not that desperate yet.

By the way, you can begin looking for this book anywhere that sells fine books. BAC-British American Colonies. If you find one, let me know how it finishes, I can use some help.
