This is really good guys... I love that the episodes are pretty short and easy to digest.... I don't know how long the story actually is... but I imagine one could be enjoy seeing this unfold for quite some time. Keep it up! Do You Dave Ramsey?’s last blog post..Bad Money Decisions

Really enjoying the building suspense and desperately want to know who, what, where,how???? Liked these images (so clear): 'He paused to catch his breath and calm his heart, kicking triple time against his chest. He chanced upon a clothesline, dipped low with damp garments. He glanced up at the windows, squares of black against slate. Perhaps he could steal his reflection in one of the windows.'

Yes, this story was originally conceived as a serialized television show. I’d love to bring it to the small screen. And I think TV will be the only way (other than book) to tell this story.

Randi – Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. The LOST comparison is high praise, indeed! The story will have many twists and turns which I get goosebumps when I think about what is to come.

Thanks, I almost didn’t post the Story Garden one. First, I’d already posted it at BloggerDad last winter. Second, I didn’t know if people want to read me droning on about my writing. But then I figured that this is a whole new audience for the post, so it was worthwhile. Second, I LOVE reading writers when they talk about the behind the scenes stuff and what inspires them.

Thanks for your words. Yes, fate definitely seems to have come into play a bit here with Sean and I meeting. Since you probably didn’t read this before, here’s that story:

Last summer, I was looking to start a blog. I chose the name WriterDad.com. It was available, but I didn’t buy it immediately. I was considering a few other names and trying to make up my mind. By the time I decided that WriterDad.com would be it, I went to buy it and found it had been bought – by Sean.

I was pissed, to say the least. But then I went to his site a while later and saw that he was very talented and that the name suited him perfectly. I’d already chosen a backup name, BloggerDad.com which was probably more suited for my light take on things.

At any rate, I emailed Sean to tell him the story of how we were connected.

We’ve been emailing almost every day since!

Janice – Thank you! Why do I get the feeling that the role is being cast as some hot young male actor. I was thinking more along the lines of Kevin King of Queens’ James. Just kidding.

EVERYBODY: It’s official, y’all rock! This is exactly the type of feedback and individual reaction Dave and I were hoping for. We want people to be excited for the next bit of serial and milk. Thanks!

Marc: Next week is even better!
Janice: Too early for me, but that’s only because I know not nearly enough, but slightly more than you. : > ) We would love to do TV. Maybe someday.

Trina: AWESOME comment. “I was so struck by the obvious sympatico, the respect, the joy for the collaborative process. A technicolour WOW comes to mind, but doesnt do it justice either.” LOVED IT.

Randi: YES! We hooked you. TV, novelization, the big screen. Well suck the blood from one of them. : > )

It’s Friday night, or should I say Saturday morning, at 12:30 a.m. I had not read Chapter 1 yet, so went back and read The Story Garden and the first chapter.

The prologue was eerie enough to make me ask myself if I should wait until daylight to read this story, but compelling enough to make me not want to stop. The mother in me couldn’t leave a child alone in the dark with fears, so I read on. (Not to mention that white font on black background kicks up the spook factor.)

The thing that drew me in was the way you two captured a fear common to most people–the fear of being buried alive. We fear it, and we have to know that someone survived it, so we read on. My compliments on establishing right up front a commonality that most all readers can identify with.

By the end of the second chapter I had the same reaction that I have every week with LOST—”What? It’s over already? They are going to leave me hanging like THAT?” So based on my LOST-meter of endings that leave me craving more, I give this story a 10.

Excellent work, gentlemen. It’s exciting to visualize the future—this becoming a best seller—and feeling honored to be here watching while it’s unfolding.
