I don’t really have the time, nor have I found anyone worth my time to collaborate with on my music production. Plus, I enjoy creating and recording on my own. As for gear or learning about recording software, you can pretty much learn everything now on the internet, especially on YouTube and Facebook. Perhaps if I were younger, I would likely use what I know today as a music producer to hang out with my peers, the cool musicians, that sort of thing. I did that in my younger days, but I wasn’t a musician at the time—just someone who really liked music. Even today, many music producers aged 50 and above use their musical skills to collaborate with a variety of musicians. For someone like me, time is a significant challenge, as I am also striving to perfect my writing in the science fiction genre before pitching my stories to the film industry—my ultimate goal, besides making music albums. Adding to the difficulty is the reality of trying to make ends meet on a security guard's salar...

  I have decided to self-publish PESTILENT: A Zombie Apocalypse Novel . This decision isn’t due to rejections but rather the nature of the submission process. I wouldn’t necessarily call it a rejection of the book, as most of the responses I received were based on query letters and reviews of only a few sample chapters, which likely weren’t read in full due to the sheer volume of submissions. As many literary agencies have stated, if a manuscript doesn’t match what they’re looking for, they won’t proceed. After reviewing their websites, however, I agree that my book didn’t align with the style preferences of about 10 out of the 50 literary agencies I submitted to. As for the rest, I’m still waiting. Some have indicated that it could take months or even years to hear back. I’m not willing to wait that long, considering the financial benefits of traditional publishing. Who knows? Maybe my “castaway homie” hid the submissions that actually matched. JK! Ultimately, I’ve decided to move...
