My unpublished Young Adult Novel (s)
A killer energy ring has surrounded the City. It’s closing in fast, but when the Entities show up, the real massacre begins!
The two images are covers I made for my two novel Young Adult dystopian series. (One story, two books). I tried to get them published for years, to no avail. I was very proud of them both and thought they'd make an excellent movie, (or two). I was planning to self-publish at some point in the future. Not sure if I will now but thought it interesting to share the covers. Created them around 2009. Novels were written from 2005-'07. I had such high hopes for them. Hence why I held out, hoping a publisher would take them on. Makes me very sad but that's the life of the creative.
At the risk of sounding miserable (and trite), my 'career' as an author has been 95% disappointment. You need to have a very thick skin to deal with the rejections and lack of interest. My skin ain't as thick as it used to be so I've taken a step back since my last book in 2022. Mentally been on the decline for years (anti-depressant withdrawal a big part of it, the story here), so feels beyond my reach at present. Probably a good lesson in there. Don't put things off! I really do hope to return to it at some point but not in the foreseeable future.
In the meantime, there are published books and many videos and downloads that are available right now!
You should try the self-publishing route. You have nothing to lose except a bit of time. And you never know.
ReplyDeleteProbably my only option now. Just don't have motivation at the moment. One day. Thanks.
