Title: authorttuta secures mega contract
Post by: General Battuta on May 01, 2014, 09:29:26 pm
As those of you who follow my writing career already know, I just landed an incredible three-book contract with Tor. They'll be publishing The Traitor Baru Cormorant and my next two novels, at home and (perhaps) abroad. This is a huge vote of confidence in my work; I couldn't ask for more.

This'll be a lot of work to tackle on top of my position at Bungie and my commitment to Blue Planet, but I'm overjoyed to have the opportunity. And, as ever, thanks to everyone here who's kept up with my fiction.

There is a decent chance I could do a novel-length take on Morrigan in the Sunglare, which would effectively be a BP novel.  :nervous:

Congratulations! :D

Just be careful not to burn yourself out, it hurts.

+1 Congrats. Now for the hard part, good luck!

I think writing the book was probably the hard part (though I've certainly got to get started on book two...)

Start with the end and work back. It's how Agatha Christie wrote hers!

With that workload, I'd say be wary of burn-out though!

It's too hard to make changes if you think of something better later on this way. You should write every other word, and then go back and fill in the rest later.

This is a idea and will my this way. Thank so Polpolion

I always go for prime number methodologies rather than polpolion's basic even number solution. I'm just that awesome.
Title: Re: authorttuta secures mega contract
Post by: Phantom Hoover on May 06, 2014, 10:07:32 am
after all if you just write the prime words you can uniquely determine the rest by multiplying them together

That's ETAK talk and is punishable under Betac :p

Well, now that I'm back, congrats Battuta! I've always hoped to break into the novelist business myself, and I hope it works out well for ya!
