Joseph Gatch It was six in the morning when it happened; a day that I will never forget as it had left such a scar upon my life. As I opened the refrigerator, ready to make my breakfast, I realized to my horror...that I had forgotten to pick up more bacon!
Joseph Gatch Two things, actually. One is a collection of short stories that I wrote years ago and am just now putting out to the public in a series called The Pirates of Kilgore: Incipiens. The other is a full length novel based on the characters of these stories, simply titled - The Pirates of Kilgore.
Joseph Gatch Write your stories and save them. You never know when an earlier work might become your current project. After twenty years of being kicked around in a binder, my first stories are now coming together in one volume.
Joseph Gatch The best thing for me is hearing that someone enjoyed my book. Reviews are awesome, especially when they are from someone I don't know. Even bad reviews can give me a lift if they are critical enough to show me my weaknesses.
Joseph Gatch Honestly, I haven't really experienced true writer's block. If I am at a loss at where the story is going, I give it a day and while doing something else, my mind wanders to the story and an epiphany usually occurs where I see the story take a whole new direction.
Joseph Gatch Deadlines help :) but once I get into writing, I keep the train of thought going, otherwise I begin to flounder and I lose track of where the story is heading.
Joseph Gatch The Adventures of Phineas Frakture - Steam Wars is a follow-up to the first book, which continues the stories where Phineas left off. I wanted him to go on a solo journey of discovery where he had to rely more upon himself than with his support group of friends.
