Preview Ben's next book.Leave a Comment

Almost at thirty.

Once I have thirty pages of my book, something like falling, I will be reprinting the pitch for publishers and resending out to the 16 plus people I sent the first fourteen pages to and hope this time to spark some interest. I got only two responses last round of the submission. Two very nice rejections, I'm hoping the other publishers are staring at it waiting to make their move haha. Maybe.

Just in case

You didn't know already. ..... Transformers 2 revenge of the fallen is awesome. I've seen it twice and plan to most likely go again tomorrow. Don't listen to the reviews see it or yourself and expect a popcorn blockbuster of a movie. Talk to you later.
