Wrath III is now live. And when I originally wrote it, it was about 3 pages longer. The content generally centered around our surviving duo hopping to a few different places in Orlando as they explored what was left of the now dead city. There were a few gruesome scenes (like a man who ate ground meat until he vomited and died) but overall, nothing too amazing happened in those few pages. Which is why they've been deleted. Essentially, it was boring as shit. It's what happens when you sometimes try to make a story super realistic. You sometimes forget that all that extra detail is not interesting, it's tedious and pointless. I mean, I haven't written about anyone having a bowel movement, yet I'm sure the characters still poop. The point is, sometimes what you write sucks. And you need to know when to press the delete key. Add Comment So, Heartlessness III is up and, yes, is a little on the short side. But most of the time when I write these chapters, I'm not thinking of definitive places to start and end each part. Sometimes it happens naturally and sometimes, it does not. In the case of Heartlessness, I think the entire last 2/3 of the chapter flow pretty seamlessly and so I had to pick and choose where to start and end each part almost just by page length. So some parts are a little longer and some a little shorter. Part III is just one of those parts that got the axe a little closer to the tail. Which means stuff ALMOST starts to happen.....but not quite. So, sorry for the dick-tease. Aside from that? Well, I sort of have to poop. So I'm gonna go now. Later. In the last month or so, several people have asked for iPad/Kindle/ebook versions of A Kind of Drug. I thought to myself "Sure, how hard can it be? I've already got everything in digital files. All I have to do is put em all together and Voila! Portable version!" Have I ever mentioned the fact that I'm an idiot? To get all the text formatted correctly for e-book readers, to create a book cover, and to find a website that would publish to the iBookstore for free took a very, very long time. On more than one occasion, I almost gave up and said "Fuck it, looks like there's be no ebook version after all. But I persevered. And I won. Well, mostly. A Kind of Drug: Volume 1 - Subliminal Happiness is the ebook title for the completed version of the book's first three chapters. It is currently available for Kindle on Amazon. The price is $1.99. As of this moment, it has not been accepted into the iBookstore. However, it is available in iPad and iPhone format on a website called Smashwords. Another couple days of review and it should be available officially in the iBookstore. Direct links to everything I talked about above are located in both the About the Author section and the A Kind of Drug section of this website. I hope you've all found this informative and enlightening. I'm gonna go poop. | J.E. Tobal
