A Lazy Day, Perfect for Writing

Josh Robert Nay

Writing is fun on any day, but it’s especially fun on a day when you’re just relaxing and you have nothing to do except watch old episodes of “How I Met Your Mother” on Netflix while you’re cooking some pasta and putting off doing the laundry for another week of hard work. Today I’ve been working a little on my upcoming rerelease of Seeds of the Future, a book that, as you all know, is no longer in print as of 2013. I haven’t really discussed the release much, in part because I’m not sure what the final project is

Getting Into the Spirit of Hallowe’en Early With Short Stories & Poetry

Josh Robert Nay

I was walking through a local store today and passed Halloween decorations that had been there since mid-August. While I personally feel like the stores are “jumping the gun” a little bit in regard to the holiday decor and treats, I can’t say that I’m complaining too much. Halloween (or “Hallowe’en” or “All Hallows Even”) has always been one of my favorite holidays. Not because of the candy; I got over that excitement as a child when I figured out I could buy my own at any time of the year by going out and getting a job. No, it’s

Nothing But Novels, Novels, Novels!

Josh Robert Nay

By the end of July, I plan on shifting my focus from poetry and short stories to novels and novelettes almost entirely. That’s not to say I won’t be releasing new poems and short stories by any means. It means that the novels will take center stage over the poems and short stories. Yeah, August is definitely Novel Month around here. I already have a project in the works for Tor, and definitely plan on releasing more for them after. I am also finally beginning a series that I have been developing for the last four years. That series is

Seeds of the Future Officially Discontinued By the Author

Josh Robert Nay

Today, I have officially discontinued my first book, print-on-demand (POD) published Seeds of the Future. Within the next month or two, the book will be removed completely from the listings on Josh Robert Nay Online. As I mentioned in a previous entry, I am cutting all ties with POD publishers completely, even for my future poetry and short story collections (including Seeds of the Future 3) and am instead opting into more traditional publishers such as Tor. Seeds of the Future was first published in 2006. Over the course of its 5 year life, the book has struggled, endured, struggled

Seeds of the Future 3, Other Projects Forthcoming…

Josh Robert Nay

… though they might be a bit delayed, mainly due to the fact that, in addition to my impending move to the United Kingdom, I have also said good-bye for good to POD (print-on-demand) publishing. Instead, I have opted to expand my client base to more traditional publishing companies. For instance, I am currently working on a project for Tor, a fantasy novelette, the title of which I’m keeping under wraps for now (because I can). Tor is an amazing publisher with a very long tradition of publishing and marketing high quality work from a variety of writers, including Terry

The Day is Young and So Am I

Josh Robert Nay

This morning, I awoke to the sound of my dog Buddy growling out the window at passersby. For some mysteriously odd reason, it got me thinking about my new upcoming short story. Considering the theme of the story is war, I honestly don’t understand why his growling prompted the thought process in the first place. Anyway, this in turn caused me to climb out of bed and begin the writing process anew. I hate to admit it, but I only recently decided what I wanted the actual story to be about, even though I had accepted the writing option more
