This has been an interesting week. I made a difficult decision to rewrite my Vampire book, Blood Redemption and make it a little edgier and maybe a little darker and then republish it ...probably with amazon.com under their Kindle Direct Program.  Why?  Because I have learned a lot since I wrote it and I want to put out the best product that I can. It isn't bad...but it isn't selling the way I had hoped.  The customer is always right...Something is wrong.  So I actually paid the $1.99 and downloaded it to my own Kindle to read it as if a stranger wrote it.  I discovered that it is a funny book.  I like it.  It is not as bad as I had feared.  So I went to amazon.com and changed the blurb to mention that it has a bit of Vampire Humor. We shall see.  I am going to leave it there until I get the rewrite done  and then I will  send it off to be edited and come up with a new cover and maybe even a new title and  start over from scratch.  All in the name of a better book, folks...we do what we gotta do.

I also began the second course  from The CreativeWriting Institute.  This one is  Creative writing 101.  I've already had to write two short pieces....but it was fun.  I enjoy the writing assignments.  All that citing and footnotes and stuff was what drove me bonkers in the Nonfiction course.  I know it was necessary but I am glad that one is over.  The instructor has said that she is going to make me work hard.  I don't mind that.  If I come away a better writer, I will stretch as far as I can reach.
