At last something of interest, a replacement title for Velocity. Thank you Mr. Dean Koontz for confirming Velocity was a great title by selecting it as well. As a precaution on the blog it remains Velocity ( or book two ) until I have a check/representation. It’s an indulgence, and perhaps one borne of superstition, but one that I consider reasonable. I’d rather not blow two more days on a title a third time on the same book. One more coincidence like that and it’s Star Wars – Reloaded. Bring on the lawsuits, Herr Lucas.

Writing output is way up as of late, so much so that October 2005 is the projected finish date. Thereafter my writing priorities are three-fold: query actively for Velocity, revise a screenplay ( more about this later ), and draft an outline and synopsis for the sequel.

I pray that the next synopsis is my last because revealing the ending of a story I invest months, years, god knows how long on, is painful. Unpleasant as it may be, there’s little alternative option for a writer trolling for representation; agents don’t invest time reading unless they sense the writer can deliver the goods. While I sympathize with the plight of a thousand manuscripts and twenty-four hours in a day, a big whatever to that practice!

Seriously, three pages is sufficient ink to reveal a diamond. If the story is still agreeable, keep reading. Continue until completion or the warm fuzzies fade. Don’t like the pages? Toss it aside and grab a manuscript that delivers the goods, like say, Velocity.
