It felt the most like a genuine experience instead of just an adaption.<br /><br />For the one we've been talking about? Traditional. It seems more traditional. My dream publisher would be Angry Robot, but I like Tor and Del Rey also. But I'm also waaaaay ahead of myself there. I'd be happy to simply finish it. As for the other one...I might pursue self publishing there. Being a western, it's not what's "hot" right now...and it's odd for a western anyway.<br /><br />And also--hell to the yeah on the critique partner thing!Justin Dowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083884379574006541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061380174371002029.post-74276871740873612622012-04-30T20:15:01.128-05:002012-04-30T20:15:01.128-05:00ooh, Alfonso Cuaron would do magnificently. especi...ooh, Alfonso Cuaron would do magnificently. especially if he did <i>The Clockwork Giant</i>. :)<br /><br />good luck finishing a novel over the summer! i'm definitely up for being your critique partner if you want. do you think you're going to pursue traditional publication or self-publishing?Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09728905100557593958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061380174371002029.post-67488878770026156112012-04-30T17:22:08.242-05:002012-04-30T17:22:08.242-05:00My goals so far: write and illustrate a blog post...My goals so far: write and illustrate a blog post a week--this is still creative work, finish a first draft of my paranormal mystery novel over the summer, complete at least 1 short story a month this summer.<br /><br />Depending on where this story falls, I could see it being marketable as normal...but it is also very weird, so...we'll see.<br /><br />But my other novel idea? Probably not as marketable, as it's even weirder.<br /><br />I secretly hope to someday become as famous as John Scalzi. It's not the fame that excites me, I just think I'd have a blast doing those public speaking events that he gets to do. Especially if I ever had the chance to do one WITH John Scalzi. I might have a heart attack if such an epic thing were to occur.<br /><br />Honestly, I wouldn't mind Sam Raimi doing an adaption of one of my books. He has a very particular style, but it would probably fit my writing style. But M. Night? Nope. Maybe back in his heyday, but definitely not now. <br /><br />You know who could do a great job on one of your books?

I want to do the whole story with an ending. I have a few other WiPs that I plan to query but this project has sort of hijacked priority status.<br /><br />By the way, regarding this: neither Sam Raimi nor M. Night Shyamalan can have anything to do with it<br /><br />I TOTALLY agree with you. I wish I could have Hiyao Miyazaki do it. That would rock my brain into a faint lol!!Angela Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324366495151363782noreply@blogger.com
