Bookshelf Battle

Take a knee 3.5 readers.

It’s time to talk about this summer – “The Summer of Bookshelf.”

For awhile now, I’ve been working on two separate stories:

1)  Bookshelf Q. Battler and The Meaning of Life – Your host, the reclusive Bookshelf Q. Battler, leaves the Bookshelf Battle Compound and heads out into the world on an adventure in search of mankind’s most elusive question:

Why are the Clippers even allowed in the NBA?

Oh wait.  Sorry.  I was looking at the wrong cue card.

What is the meaning of life?

Finally, we’ll learn a bit more about my magical bookshelf and catch a glimpse at some of those fictional characters as they step out of BQB’s books, drive him crazy, and encourage him in his travels.

2)  Top Secret Project – That’s not the name of the story.  I just, for a variety of reasons, don’t want to share the name at the moment.  I’ve had an idea that I’m pretty proud of and I want to shout it from the rooftops but I realize it will be worth the wait to polish it up a bit first.

You folks have been a blast lately.  The hit counter is climbing, the Google Plussers have been particularly helpful, and inspiration continues to strike.

I have a tendency to be one of those people who puts out what he takes in and all I can say is you all deserve a round of applause.

There’s a method to my madness in this post.  I’ve found a rule to be true with me – if I post it on my blog, it happens.  And since I’m tired of dilly dallying and want these stories out there, I’m announcing them.

I hope to get these both started in May, no later than June.

Stick around, 3.5.  It’s going to get all kinds of fabulous up in this joint.

Meanwhile, if you can’t wait, I’ve had a rough draft of the first chapter of BQB and the Meaning of Life up for awhile:  Take a peak and drop me some feedback.
