Hotel Progress Update

I've actually been editing the book, and have gotten several chapters done on the hard copy. I need to make the changes to the file, but that will come. When not working on that, I'm slowly building the virtual hotel on my computer using a CAD program. I have two floors almost done. Yea! I still have the third floor to do, and the basement. I'll work on that last since it doesn't play a big part in the first book. I'm hoping to be able to include the floor plans in the book, so the readers can 'see' the hotel.

I've also got several other story ideas swimming around in my head. Including a background story for a future character. I have the outline done on that one, but haven't actually put fingers to keyboard and started writing it.

I have an account over at lulu.com, and I'll be publishing Midnight Hotel over there for the time being. Yes, it's self publishing, and I have to do the marketing myself, but there's less headaches than dealing with a big name publisher who likes the story, but "maybe you can change everything in it to suit what I like." So, I'm going to give this a try, then maybe try a big name publisher later, if ever. I'll have to see how it goes. So far, the people who've read Midnight Hotel has liked it. Most liked it as is, and didn't want me to do much editing on it. However, I can see at least some of the errors that needed to be fixed, and some crit partners have pointed out a few things that needed to be revised in order for it to make sense.

I'll try to keep this blog more up-to-date. I keep falling down on the job when it comes to blogging. I do try though. 8-)

Well, I think that's about it for this posting. Wish me luck with the editing and blogging.
