Happy Halloween!!!

Yes, Happy Halloween to all of you! Just so all of you know, I'll be hanging out with my friends today in my pink bunny rabbit costume. I just wanted to make that a public announcement. I'm such a megalomaniac.

Writing

I'm sure that some of you who've actually stumbled into this practically traffic-less blog are wondering what I've actually written. Well, to be honest with all of you, I've only had one short story published, and that was my short story entitled "Epidemic" that can be found in the Original Fiction Section at All Things Zombie. It's a zombie horror story that I wrote, so any hardcore fantasy fans might not enjoy it. For those of you that like horror, or will read anything, take a shot at it and email me at mrdude175@yahoo.com, my email address, with any comments.

Anyway, I just finished another zombie horror story called "Exposure" that runs about ten times larger in length than "Epidemic". I'm currently doing a third run-through of it, making sure it shines. After that, I plan on submitting it to The Undead, a zombie anthology that's having an open-call for zombie fiction from published and unpublished authors.

Also, I plan on submitting more horror fiction to about four other anthologies, all of their deadlines being around the end of the year, so I have to start getting on the writing. Additionally, to anyone who's pre-ordered Lords of Swords, an epic fantasy anthology, might be interested that I'm working on a submission to submit to the publisher's newest open-call anthology, Razor-Edged Arcanum.

And yes, there is something else. I am also planning on entering a contest called NanoWrimo, a contest in which anyone who participates will, starting from November 1st and ending November 30th, write a novel, the length being around 50k words and approximately 175 pages. Any participants that accomplish this goal will win money (I forgot how much--that just goes to show how much is on my plate right now).

Anyway, that's about all. Goodbye for now, viewers.

Stuff about the ***BLOG***

I'll have you all know that I'm completely and utterly computer impaired. I don't know anything about anything when it comes to computers. That results in the crappiness of the apprearance of this website. But don't worry: I'll go to my friend Kyle's house this weekend and see if he can help me out with it.

So, please wait patiently. I know you're all dying to see this site/blog in better shape.

All in good time, my sons...all in good time...

Indeed, it is quite Rancid

Huh. This is quite a clean blog here. Yes, I suppose I'll take it.

Anyhoot, hello. I'm Ian Kappos, a starving high school student and wanna be fantasy and horror author. If you haven't heard of me--99.999% possible--then you might ware that I could be just a wee bit odd (compared to the norm of the human kind).

Ah well, now you've met me. Have fun, and if you so wish, come back again to see what else is going on in my wacky life.
