If I had a dollar for every time I was told that my writing reads like a movie, I could retire to the mountains. No, wait. 😊 This no doubt reflects a lifetime wasted watching movies and television, or maybe something even better.
I’ve heard several well-published authors say that good fiction (at least of the thriller variety) should have readers watching the movie playing in the author’s head. There may be minor differences in how individual readers perceive characters and scenes, but the major elements should be the same. Evidently, I have a lot of movies playing in my head.
Over the past week, press releases for Project Suicide have gone out to Southwestern Ohio, Detroit Michigan, and Eastern Tennessee. Yesterday, the national release went out to several major venues, including some in the entertainment industry. I know picking up a movie deal is a long shot, but it would certainly be a great way to expand readership.
Wish me luck and stay tuned.
