Here are some of
the projects that keep me busy morning, noon, and night . . .
the projects that keep me busy morning, noon, and night . . .
I’m writing a love
story that is a collaboration and involves lots of kissing. First draft
scheduled to be finished next month.

I’m also working
on chapters for my Lost meets The
Stand series before sending out the
proposal for this one. I’ve had some good talks with publishers but who knows.

There are a couple
of collaborations I’ve written proposals for (wonderful ideas and beautiful
stories) and am waiting to hear something back on them. Who knows if they will happen.

A really cool
nonfiction project has come to me out of the blue, something that’s really
exciting that I hope will see light of day. It’s a story that must be told and I hope and pray I am the writer to tell
it. I haven’t done a book like this, but I feel confident I can help tell this
in an authentic and unique way.

There
are the books which have yet to come out which still require some work: Hurt,
the fourth in The Solitary Tales, was
just handed in to the publisher recently. Copyedits and typeset galleys will
need to be read over. Home Run is
basically finished—I have to finish the back matter for the book. (There will be
4,000 advance readers of Home Run printed
for the Celebrate Recovery Summit in August. Wow!) Then there’s the ghostwritten
novelization I did which has pages needing to be read.

I’m
hoping, wanting, and trying to do another Solitary Tales B-side that can be
published as an eBook this fall. The story is called A Chain of Flowers. I’ve written bits and pieces of it here and there. I
also hoping, wanting, and trying to do an eBook to be released on a very
specific day next year. It’s tied to music and a band. I might do it under a
pen name. Who knows.

Let’s

Oh,
no, wait. I was trying to write my version of The Hunger Games. I wrote out the three-book-series storyline, then
rewrote it, then wrote about 100 pages until I realized it wasn’t working. That’s
put on hold. We’ll see if I decide to rework it but for now it’s on hold.

There’s something related to The Solitary Tales that I have planned. Something
I’m working on and trying to pitch. Four more books. No more Solitary Tales—that
story has been told. But . . . there’s a bigger story that can perhaps be
written.

There’s
another love story I just need to write some sample chapters for and give to an
interested publisher. There’s the novelization of something which could be the
biggest thing in my writing career since Home Run. But who knows.

That’s
a lot of projects, huh? Somedays I run around like a madman carrying a heavy
backpack full of wonderful stories and amazing potential. These stories all
mean something to me. I’m not going through the motions. It’s just a question
of whether some or all will see light of day.

God
knows. And I have to be content to trust that all this hard work and all these
crazy ideas might one day pay off.

That's a lot of work! Good on you!
Hey, if you're interested in getting an early review or even an endorsement for Hurt, I could provide one, if you have any ARC's of it!
Do you sleep:)
You really need to get busier, Travis. I'm appalled at how lazy you have become. Where's the screenplay? Where's the book of poems? What about the children's book based on the dream you had three nights ago? Come on, man, sit down and get busy!!
Hey, Mr. Chris Smarty Pants Fabry. I actually do have a screenplay I've been talking to someone about. The idea. But that's about it. If I was a famous as you and got such glowing reviews, I could slow down. But I'm just Trasher. I mean Thrasher. 🙂
You had me at collaboration and kissing. 😉 Love your love stories. Takes a real man to write romance.
Keep up the good work! I always look forward to a book release/update from you! Too bad I don't work at Barnes and Noble anymore:(
