Tonight my creative writing class will be workshopping my short story “Addict”, one of the short stories going into my upcoming collection The Quiet Game: Five Tales To Chill Your Bones. I’m looking forward to it,  because I want these stories to be of the highest quality possible before I publish them. I also like feedback from neutral parties such as my classmates, because they point out stuff we don’t even see. That’s one flaw we writers have: we’re so proud of 0ur work, we don’t always see the flaws in it that others might see and point out.

Well, whatever the outcome is, I’ll let you guys know how it goes. There’s nothing on TV tonight that I’m interested in, so after class I plan to go on an editing binge. If any of the other short stories I’ve sent for critiquing get sent back to me, it’ll be all the better.

So watch out for my post tonight. Until then, have a nice day.

Has All The New Advertising Been Worth It?

I’d say so far, yes.

So far, I’ve gotten 240 Facebook friends, 22 likes on the Facebook page for The Quiet Game (http://www.facebook.com/#!/TheQuietGameFiveTalesToChillYourBones), and 13 followers on Twitter. Plus 149 followers through WordPress, plus numerous others who register through whatever they use to tage blogs or whatever the term is. I don’t know how many will actually download a copy of The Quiet Game, or any of my other works that might get published. But I think I have a good chance. I have so much support from so mnay people, I can’t help but be confident.

So thanks to you all. You are the source of my confidence, of my optimism. And I know, with your continued support, I’ll get somewhere in the writing industry, especially the self-publishing industry.

Now I’m On Twitter

If the me of a year ago knew what I was doing these days, he may have a heart attack. Or possibly slap his future self. Or some combination of that.

Yes I, Rami Ungar, resistant to new technology and social media crazes, have gotten a Twitter. Why? For the same reason I got a Facebook: to spread my writing to those who may not be on this blog but may be on other social media websites. This twitter account of mine, @RamiUngartheWriter, will focus exclusively on my writing. Already I’ve published a couple of tweets advertising my upcoming collection The Quiet Game: Five Tales To Chill Your Bones. I’m very excited and I hope I gain a followship soon. You’re welcome to follow me if you like. Just know this: I’ve got a scary picture as my profile pic and it may cause some nightmares.

And no, it’s not of my face. Much scarier than that.

Also, I don’t know if any of my blog followers got a notification (do they send notifications for pages?), but I set up a new page that lists my upcoming books. Which means of course at this point only The Quiet Game is on that list, without even a picture, but I plan to rectify that soon. Check it out if you like, and have a great weekend.
