Haven't watched it since.<br /><br />About e-books, this is mostly true. I think I would have better luck pimping an e-book of my novel than paperback, although paperback is still a good way to make an impression.<br /><br />ACIL: Thanks.<br /><br />I'm not a big fan of his work as I found some of it to be hit or miss. Still, he has left some classic stuff that has made its way into the pop culture lexicon.G. B.

Long story.<br /><br />Glad to hear you're doing some writing and editing, and that you're rebooting your debut novel. Ebooks are the way of the world I'm afraid, not sure how flooded that market is but it should be easier to complete and you'll have more control over it. Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345361078388854353.post-76638788859806134262014-07-01T06:13:27.203-04:002014-07-01T06:13:27.203-04:00M: Thanks.

So the main goal is to make it palatable for the masses.<br /><br />Alex: Thanks.<br /><br />They actually offered it to me back in early February but I wanted to hold off until after the A-Z Blogging Challenge to see if I could drum up some sales. So we agreed to an extra six months. But, as they say, sometimes ya gotta cut loses just a tad early.<br /><br />Debra: Usually I find that the book is far better than the movie version, but I tried reading the book after seeing the movie, and I couldn't get past chapter 1.<br /><br />I didn't see this movie until roughly 6 years ago on one the premium movie channels. Thought it was really good.G. B.

But I was still underage when the R-rated movie came out, so my Mom had to take me to see it! Oh, was she thrilled, LOL! Not her type of movie. But it's still one of my faves.Debra She Who Seekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845703092794695023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345361078388854353.post-54155373912444904072014-06-30T13:10:45.491-04:002014-06-30T13:10:45.491-04:00Glad you were able to get your rights back to the ...Glad you were able to get your rights back to the book early.<br />And great process on the novella.Alex J.
