The next book is written, "Chad the Bro of Dracula." It took a while to write this one since there was a lot of research involved.
The downside to traditional publishing is that you have to go through a process, and it's being marketed to various houses right now. And to any houses reading this, talk to me. ;)

Discworld, I actually enjoy when life is legitimately funny, when goofy things just happen.

I am not nearly so organized, I just grab books as they catch my interest.

I grew up on vampire movies, I love horror-comedy, and just comedy in general, and I will always have a soft spot in my heart for the place of my birth Philadelphia.
It was just a matter of putting it all together somehow after that.

I usually have stuff plotted out, since it takes a moment to fall asleep it beats lying there worrying about the water bill. So when I wake up, I already know what I want to get to. Just a matter of finding the time after that

Busy,busy,busy. Book coming out this winter, a collection sold. While I'm waiting on that I'm writing two novels, and editing three to ensure there's more stuff after that.

Accept rejection. It is a part of the business, and auto-rejections don't care about your talent level. Use it to learn, find out what you can do better, figure out your bad habits, and if you really don't see what's wrong with the piece, keep sending it out. Sometimes it's just a bad fit between your piece and that magazine or publisher, there's lots of fish in the see, find the one that takes your bait. But while you're doing that NEVER STOP WRITING. No one piece makes or breaks your career, but not writing does.

Keep multiple projects floating. If I'm stuck on one, I can usually get some work done on another.
