We All Make Mistakes!

posted Wednesday, 19 March 2008

 

 

I was thinking today - I made a major mistake in 1999, after a relatively successful writing splurge in all sorts of venues, by ceasing to submit my work off my own bat to any publishers inviting submissions.  It seems foolish now to expect publishers to look through an electronic portfolio like 'The Weirdmonger Wheel'.  However, so be it.  I'll live with that decision and just concentrate on the publishing of other writers in 'Nemonymous' and on continuing to post my back-catalogue of published stories as well as new stories to the Wheel.  

My novella WEIRDTONGUE was picked up last year by a prospective print publisher but like Bear Stearns bank it now seems to have gone belly-up.  A great disappointment to me.

Sorry to hear that WEIRDTONGUE in print isn't happening now. That's a pity.

By the way, Des, it's never too late to make another decision - to start to send your stories off for publication again! I, for one, reckon the literary world would be a far richer place if there were even more of your stories out there. Go on, try releasing some back into the wild again and see what happens! ;-) Caroline

Thanks, Caroline.

I've been sleeping on these thoughts of mine. Actually, I've earnt a lot of readers through the 'Weirdmonger Wheel' and people (I've never heard of) listing me among their favourite writers on their MySpace Profiles etc., sometimes among a short list of writers like Dickens, TS Eliot and Scott Fitzgerald!! But I don't make any money from writing! But do we write for money? Some disappointments (and I count the results of my decision above as a disappointment) can give collateral success.

I intend to start submitting again (off my own bat) in 2010 after Nemonymous #10 and after estimated completion of the Weirdmonger Wheel at that time. Now I'm getting on with writing my ground-breaking (commissioned) article on the greatest weird fiction writer of them all: Elizabeh Bowen!!

Well, when I first wrote this blog entry, I was thinking of current mistakes and disappointments, or relatively recent ones. Still old ones are interesting, too. Back in the early nineties, a relatively well-known American publisher at the time wanted to publish a book of my Vampire stories, but Horror politics eventually deterred that publisher from doing that. There have always been Horror genre politics in my experience. But one shouldn't complain. One's own view is ALWAYS a biased view! :-)
