I had a great weekend at the David Farland workshop. I learned a lot about the publishing industry that I didn’t know or understand before. I now feel armed with a few more tools.
This is not a class for beginners. We went over the process of writing, a little, but most of the material we covered had to do with making yourself a marketable writer. I have a few changes in mind for War Dogs of Mars. However, I managed to hit most of the high points David talked about. I have one big change to make, but otherwise, it’s good to go.
I’m doing the final redraft of my “Dream Singer” story. I’m cutting down by at least 20%. That should put it in the right range for the first place I want to send it. I’m really proud of this story. I feel like this is the first one that has actually managed to meet my expectations. Basically, this is the kind of story I like to read.
