Ch-ch-ch-changes

Anyone who bothered to read this site before may notice the change of name.

That's right, it is now 'Neff.'  Or I should say it is once again 'Neff.'

Long story and it all ends the same, so I will spare the details. Needless to say, I now have much more time for my writing, and have delved into it oh-so-deeply. Nothing like a little conflict in your own life to spur on the creative, cathartic juices.

That said, I have a list of projects that I am working on, and am trying to get published by one of the "Big Houses" in order to earn myself a little street-credibility. That said, I am seeing there is a lot of merit in the self-publishing route, through digital channels. Not that silly vanity press bull, but actual sales via Kindle, Nook, iBook, etc. I am playing with the first option, and writing a few little stories to experiment with on Kindle. Yes, these are all in progress. I'm a naughty kid (If you believe in that sort of thing, I am also a Libra. Supposedly we are extremely good at concept, and equally atrocious at completion).

Novels:
Umbra (A Post-Apocalyptic Mystery)
Dross (Eschatology in a Fantasy Setting)
The Opal Necklace (Alternate History/Fantasy)

Short Stories:
The Adventures of Ennid the Havoc (Belly of the Beast, Time After Time, For The Love of a Pearl) (Adventure - of course - Fantasy)
The Falconer and the Wolf (Fantasy Romance)
Clones are People Two (Sci-fi)
The Othermen (Classical Sci-fi)
Into the Water Deep (Adventure Sci-fi)

The mini-project is an anthology of Flash Fiction, to which I will post a link when I have it published.

Oh, yes... I really, really, really want to do a fanfic story for EA's underrated "Undying" title. I even have a (droll) title for it: "Undying Legacy." I don't know how well that would go over with any publishers out there, seeing that I went "playing in someone else's world," but I had most of it written before I read somewhere that it's a no-no and I could be treading on some very special toes. The storyline, after all, was written (or at least made more coherent and relatable) by Clive Barker, of whom I have been a fan as long as I can recall. I would prefer not to insult him.

First Blogs are the Worst

This one is just to get started.

If you stumbled across this site because you happened to find my name in a search engine... happy coincidence and welcome.

If you came here from one of my other blogs - Meltdown Cafe or Dreaming Cat Gallery, thanks for stopping by to look at this one.

The post I just finished over on Meltdown Cafe got me thinking - I really need to start one just for my writing, so as not to try to cram too much of everything into one blog. I am also somewhat OCD, and don't wish to mix types too much. Art can stay on art, post-apoc on post-apoc and writing on writing. I can allow them to cross genres every once in a while, but not often.

Let's see how this works out.
