No More Movie Reviews

In order to focus on "Black Swan Origins-Nineveh" and "A Valiant Effort", I am no longer doing movie reviews. I may do them again in the future (and by that, I mean distant future), but for now, I'm not writing them. Between working two jobs and writing two novels simultaneously, I am too exhausted to review films, anyway, so something has to give. Sorry.

First Trilogy now "Black Swan Origins", Completed Two Drafts of First Book

My "Battle for Cassandra" miniseries has been expanded into a short novel, which has been renamed "Black Swan Origins: Nineveh." It's still going to be episodic, but it is now the first part of a trilogy, along with "Fionnuala" and "My Sister's Keeper." Lammy's role in the series has been expanded, and many new characters have been added whom are awesome. In particular, the female gangster formerly known as "Bambi" keeps my eyes glued to the page.

I have also typed fifteen pages of "A Valiant Effort." I've been reliving a lot of my memories as I wrote it. I just covered the part where I did an unofficial photoshoot at the Osiauri Wrestling Festival. Georgians love black people. Being an African-American there is like being a blonde in Africa. Everyone wanted their picture taken with me and once I was even asked for my autograph. All the girls thought I was handsome, which was awesome (they behaved themselves, though-Georgians have thankfully remembered God's prohibition against sex before marriage). I would have been honored to marry a Georgian girl. Sadly, we were invaded before I could get to know any of them well enough.

I am waiting to here back from my friends and family regarding "Black Swan Origins: Nineveh" before I start the third draft. I can't wait forever, though; I will start by early Septembet regardless of whether or not they finish. I want the third draft done by late September and the final draft done by December. It's really short, so it's definitely doable.
