<div class="body mediumText reviewText">Yesterday I placed a The End on the 3rd book of Miki Radicci (<em>Blood Like Cherry Ice</em>). I feel accomplished and I'm looking forward to the editing and revising phase. I know most writers hate it, but I love sculping and tweaking the words so they have more of an imapct for the bigger picture.<br/><br/>So what do I have planned for 2013? Here are some of my goals:<br/><br/>1) Edit and release <em>Blood Like Cherry Ice</em> for the Fall of 2013<br/><br/>2) Release <em>In a Darkened Sky Where Dreams Collide</em> (Miki 2) for January 2013.<br/><br/>3) Start book 4 of Miki Radicci in Feb or March.<br/><br/>4) Release a book under an alias. I plan to put out my experimental work. Nothing to do with YA, but stuff I worked hard on that I want to see if I can find an audience for. Mostly it is absurdism, surrealism, and experimental writing.<br/><br/>5) Spread more of my work in Paper Back. Only half of my full length novels are in PB and just on Amazon. I'll place the in more stores.<br/><br/>6) Write more experimental shorts with a focus on 'word sculpting.' This is an exercise I discovered back in my New Absurdist Days. It's where you take a story you wrote, take all the spaces out, then place new spaces in, then use spellcheck to make new words, and then sculpt it into a story. It's as hard and tedious as it sounds.<br/><br/>Okay, that sounds like enough.<br/><br/>This post has been brought to you by:<br/><br/><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Angel-Spits-ebook/dp/B00A1Q7NY4/ref=sr_1_4?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1354624666&sr=1-4" target="_blank"><img class="align-full" src="http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/mepurfield/18768494/2637/2637_900.jpg?width=390" width="390"/></a></div>

<p>So yeah, I think I may need to utilize this space more. So many rules I need to learn though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For anyone listening, my name is mike. I publish under M.E. Purfield. I write YA. I started doing contemp, then swirled into YA urban noir fantasy. My writing style is minimalist hardcore. I don't like fat. :-)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So yeah, the forums have been interesting. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So yeah....hi!</p>
