melanie a shock liked an update for The Madness of Mr. Butler

Just a quick update to let you all know that I am still working quite hard on Mr. Butler. I enrolled in Camp NaNoWriMo for July and set a goal of writing 70,000 words for the book in 31 days...and I did it in 30:

All 70,024 (and counting!) words were written for Butler. Every day I’m working to make this the best damn book I can make it. 

Just thought you, my wonderful investors, my support system, and most importantly, my friends, should know that I am giving this project every single spare moment I have. I’m still aiming for a September manuscript submission. I will keep you updated!

Thanks for hanging in there!

Love to all.

-Michael.

    Regarding my other book that’s funding, "An Adventure With Dada..."

    WE DID IT!!! 101 Orders!!!And I’m a man of my word, so I’m in the middle of posting the entire book. It takes a while, but 10/28 chapters are posted thus far, and I might have to finish this tomorrow. BUT IT WILL ALL BE POSTED SOON ENOUGH!!!

    I hope all of you wonderful people who took the risk of actually purchasing a copy have found the PDF of the entire first draft alive and well in your inboxes. Please let me know if you have not received your copy yet. I’ll get it to you.

    And this means PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY READING MY BOOK!

    Please let me know what you think, good or bad. I’m just happy people are reading my work!!! That’s what this is all about!

    Now, down to more business...

    Since people seemed to think that this was still a children’s book, I changed the cover to something more, well, OBVIOUSLY NOT A CHILDREN’S BOOK. But I’ve gotten some comments that people miss the old "refrigerator art" cover. The only way to resolve this is by a vote. So, send me a reply/DM/email with "Fridge Art" or "Horror Film" as your vote, and you will be put into the character naming raffles and typewriter raffles just for participating. 

    Here are the entries:

    "Fridge Art:"
     



    "Horror Film:"


    Voting closes at 110 orders. I’ll let you know then.

    Until that time, I’m going to send an update soon with the names of the winner(s) of the first "Name a character" raffle, and please keep an eye out for the entire book to be posted. 

    This is an amazing time. Thank you all.

    -Michael/Dada

      You all have no idea what this means to me...I just passed quill, so no matter what happens in the contest, I’m a published author. I am literally crying right now. Perfect strangers are going to be holding and reading my book...

      ...unreal. I am uncontrollably happy right now. Thank you for all of your support. 

      I will not disappoint. I promise you that. I will uphold my end of the promise of becoming a published author.

      I love you all. Truly.

      -Michael

        It’s been a relatively long time since the last time I updated everyone (like maybe a couple of days...haha), but so much has happened! 

        First, I was interviewed by Renderosity Magazine about my views on writing. I cover some personal perspectives, the process of composing a novel, and some little advice I’ve gathered over the years. It’s a fairly extensive interview, and I promote Inkshares a little bit, too. You can read the interview by clicking here.

        I was honored to be part of the last blog interview for the Space Opera contest as well. This time, I had to cast Mr. Butler for the movie version. What a difficult question...I did my best, and you can read it here.

        Also, I’m working hard to get more material written and posted. I will do so as I feel it’s ready, and it’s all open to be talked about and critiqued. Please don’t hesitate to let me know what you think. 

        While we’re on the subject, I’d like to help other authors on here with support and critiquing. I put up the offer on the new Goodwill Train 2.0 thread on Goodreads. Basically, let’s reach out more directly to one another. Email me at madmrbutler@gmail.com and let me know what I can do for you, especially if you just want me to know more about your novel! Let’s network and help each other get published! There’s no reason everyone can’t reach their goals. Just let me know what I can do. 

        Finally, I wish everyone the best. This contest experience has been emotional and exhausting, and it’s coming down to the final days. If you haven’t pre-ordered your copy of The Madness of Mr. Butler, please consider doing so by clicking here. 

        I look forward to hearing from everyone, and please push your book in my direction...I have credits I’d like to use!

        All of my love,

        -Michael
