Update on Dark Carpentry

Update on Dark Carpentry, my horror dramedy is undergoing a deep re-write helped in part by my St.Clair Shores Writer's Group.

This third re-write has proven to be a lengthy one but my writing has improved immensely. It's noticeable. After I make a 'final' rewrite based on comments from the group, though I might approach a publisher first, I'll start to prep it for possible self-publishing.

As that starts I will have hopefully already self-published my Tutoring Handbook which will be my first how-to book. It will instruct new English & Math tutors that tutor grades 1-12

Along with prepping Dark Carpentry for publication I will be finalizing a draft of my first novella, the long awaited 4th Hour. Both Dark Carpentry & 4th Hour would make great graphic novels as well.

Up next, stay tuned for an exclusive short story for Griffin Tutoring. Been coming up with seeds for stories and it's a challenge for me to write simple stories as long as a one page post (however long that is). I promise to keep it very, very short.

Stay inspired, thanks for reading and keep reading and writing short stories!

Rewriting

Rewriting, ugh. That's where the rubber hits the road.

I've been rewriting Dark Carpentry for about a year. Getting it ready so that my writer's group can read my chapters and give their thoughts. Though, their words and critiques have been priceless and helpful. Preparing them for reading has been time-consuming.

After all the well thought out comments I'll go through them all and do yet another rewrite. Writing can be a real pain sometimes. Is our writing ever perfect or good enough to finally publish?
