Everything is still up in the air with these five thriller novels. I vacillate widely as to what I’m going to do about this huge project from day to day. But, for the moment, I think what I may do is continue to sketch out all five novels but to really focus on the first novel.
The reason is, the first novel is meant to be a calling card for the other four thrillers. And I’m not getting any younger. I would really like to wrap up A Novel before I Turn 39 And Holding and I don’t think there’s any shame in simply finishing the first novel and trying to sell it.
That way, I can complete going through the entire process a lot quicker than if I were to write all five novels then turn around and try to sell them all in one big shot.
But, like I said, everything is up in the air. I am very stubborn and I could just say fuck it and do the exact opposite of what I’m proposing right now. But the idea of wrapping up this process in some way a lot sooner than I might otherwise gives me hope.
And I really need hope right now.
