Weighing in at 375 pages, 108,000 words and, thanks to double sided printing, 3 lbs. I named it The God Particle. And it is kind of a kick for me to be at this final touch point with my third novel. My family planning is now complete with the addition of this third installment in my Bill Hiccock “Thrillogy.” Allow me to reflect on how I arrived…

Sometimes you write for you…
In the middle of writing my fourth book, I get the feeling that I am enjoying it a little too much. Maybe I am creating the ‘Great American Novel’ for an audience of only one American. You know, like laughing at your own jokes, or singing in the shower, which never sounds bad. Maybe I am self-referencing and modulating the characters and stories to make my own tail wag. It’s hard to know. I don’t like sending out chapters for comment or asking someone to read a work half done, but is my enjoyment of my story a kind of insanity, a delusion of isolation? A world I created that has no relation to the world of the potential readers at large. Which begs the question, am I writing for some, quantifiable segment of society or am I writing for myself? Right now it feels like it’s totally for myself and my own amusement.
Oh wait, I have an editor! Whew, what a relief to have another human, not inside my head, who can give an objective opinion without my internal bias. Did I mention, God Bless editors?
