A Chapter of… Beauties and the Beastly
Steampunk! Adventure! Werewolves… in later chapters.
First chapter of Beauties and the Beastly for your interest or diss…
Adapting (Or: Ze’s Trying to Sell This?)
Today, I’m showing off some of my fiction skills. Check out part of the book I’m trying to sell and tell me what you think.
Quick Question
Should I gather all my Young Angus Verse/Baby Birds/Monty Pithon stories into their own anthologies or nah?
Like, each one gets their own anthology kind of thing so y’all don’t have to go rummaging through Tumbl Into TAZ for your faves.
Good idea? Bad idea? What sayest thou?
Doodle: What fanfic should I write next?
Y’all, I’m between fanfics at the mome. This is your chance to urge me in a specific direction instead of listening to my brain gremlins.
What Should My Next Amalgam Book Be About? | C. M. Weller on Patreon
My dear readers can still decide the content of my next Amalgam Universe novel.
Where are my space orcs going next?
Welp. I’m 9 followers away from another gratitude-inspired give-away.
I can’t really afford to give away a dead tree copy of Kung Fu Zombies. Not yet. Especially not since I had to spend another $30 on another proof copy because I DARED to make CHANGES (gasp horror) to a not-up-to-par version of the dang thing.
(Grump)
ANYway. Since I only have two or three followers who actually CARE about this sort of thing. And y’all already own everything I’ve published anyway…
How does a bespoke 2-5K story suit you as a grand prize?
Should I toss anything else at Inkitt?
There’s nothing in the rules to say that I can’t put in some of my other stuff. Any one of my Instants… one of my other short stories… parts of my books…
[fanfic wins nothing, ergo fanfic is right out :P]
Should I do it though? And which stories should I use?
Working with reallyautomaticphantom on some new covers for my short stories. Now up for re-marketing: Good Boy [Click the link to buy it now!]
He poses them in Second Life and I twiddle with the results.
There’s no text yet as I twiddle about with fonts and nonsense as the final step.
For comparison, I have:
- The Second-Life shot
- My Photoshop stylings of same
- the original cover in Pure ShittyVision
What do you think?
Dear Followers…
I’m heading steadily towards the two-thirds mark of my current novel-in-progress: Kung Fu Zombies. That’s around 80K for those of you who are keeping track.
And it’s around this time that I generally start the gas stage of my next book.
Unfortunately for me, that entry is listed thus:
7. More Amalgam (Adapting? Rael?)So I’m holding a semi-informal poll. What would you like to see as the next Amalgam book? For your options we have:
- Shayde’s formal introduction to the Amalgam Universe
- Rael’s coming-of-age story where he becomes a resident of Amalgam Station
- Something else dredged from my semi-impressive stable of satellite Amalgam Universe stories [Please indicate which one]
I can never make up my mind in a timely manner, so I’m hoping to know what I’m doing by pleasing (some of) my audience.
Therefore it’s up to you. What would you like to see happening as my next book?
Reblogging because… out of 196 followers, I got ONE VOTE EACH for Shayde and Rael.
You are my audience. If all I can inspire from you is apathy, then I literally have no idea what’s going wrong with my writing. Speak up. Make your voice heard. I PROMISE that this is a safe place for your opinion.
Hate Shayde? I can deal with that.
Abhor Rael? I can deal with that.
Want to see an entire fucking novel starring Hwell Barrow or HitcherWolf? TELL ME!
I can’t know what you want until you tell me.
