It's been a good long while since my last update on 'Concealed Weapons.'
That's because, honestly, here are no updates.
I've decided to publish a book of poetry first; something tangible to point to while trying to talk up the novel. Building a Journalistic repertoire is fine and dandy, but it makes it harder to sell your novel to a crowd, when that material is
perishable - it's only relevant and good for limited time. Committing material for a book takes a bit more classic quality.
This is by no means an attempt to weasel out of the hard work it will take to edit, publish and sell 'Concealed Weapons,' but a (possibly ill-conceived) business strategy. All I want to say about the poetry book, for those who haven't heard me mention it yet, personally, is that it will be titled "A Resigned Decanter."
The resulting concept being Something that once held a powerful element inside, but is now running out of said element and becoming, itself, useless.
How close are we to finished: 50%, at the very least. New poems flow out of my tiny mind everyday, and as long as the tap is pouring, I'll be filling the decanter.
Thanks!
