This Will Likely Push Back the Movie's Release Date

While I would love to be able to submitting my novel, The Lords of Sargoff, to publishers right now, I've been thinking lately that it would be best to increase the book's length by continuing to add more details and descriptions, and also by adding in more story. It currently sits at approximately 68,000 words, and from what I've read online, it should probably be at least 80,000, if not 100,000 or more. My initial hopes are to get it in the 80-90K range. So.... I am going to push back any tentative plans I had to submit it for publication and get back to writing. I have notes on what would happen in the second book in the series, and some of those events will instead happen in book one, though the book's ending will remain basically the same.

That's not the only thing I've been up to over the last month or more since I've last posted, of course. But that's for another entry.
