The Ressurection

 Hello everyone. 


So I decided to resurrect The Authors Life Preserver as a means to convey some of my more lengthy posts. So as of two days ago, my first Book "A GAME OF GODS," will have it's updated format and story available for purchase through multiple platforms in both paperback and ebook format. My second book, The Jarl's Shadow, is also at publishing and will be scheduled for release by the end of December. Of course anyone who follows my Facebook Author Page will be in the know about my recent developments as an author and graphic artist. While this will be a short blog post, I will be more active in the near future.

Until then,

Blessed be the Balance!

The Measurement of Success and Failure - by Sean Michael Paquet

Hello everyone! So today, I felt compelled to write about success and failure. I think these are concepts that everyone can identify with, whether you are a writer or not. What is success?

Perhaps failure can be viewed as the loss of a job or the loss of a close relationship. Someone who mattered more than anything in the world to you. The loss of a loved one. All of these can be viewed as failures in life. We look at challenges in life that we cannot overcome as failure...

Speculative Ventures in Writing - By Sean Michael Paquet

So something happened today, which I was unprepared for. A screenwriter approached and expressed interest in turning my book into a screenplay (movie). Wow! What a great opportunity! Unfortunately, I had to turn him down. I will explain why. It is not because I lack confidence in my work. I wrote A Game of Gods just like I was watching a movie in my mind. That’s how it works for me. So yeah, I feel it would adapt well to a screenplay. However,  let me give you a piece of advice I always try to follow in business. Never spend what you don’t have in your bank account or in collateral to cover an investment. Secondly, screenplay’s are speculative ventures. Anything I am speculating on goes through two mathematical processes: A Risk Matrix and a Probability Analysis. I believe in raw data and numbers. So I made a quick statistical hypothesis on the probability of success for a screenplay by a relatively unknown screenwriter for a book that so far has minimal exposure. I was not too fon...
