Tag: The Formula

I have been debating what I should do next.

My novel, The Formula, which I published independently, continues to have a slow but steady stream of sales. Reviews have been mixed – either 5’s or 1’s (which doesn’t average out very well). People either love it or hate it. The main criticism that readers level is that the novel contains incomprehensible mathematics and physics. Unfortunately, the understanding of the novel depends on the understanding of the math and physics, or at least their philosophical implications. I believe, however, that I might be able to remove the drawn-out explanations which readers seem to dislike while still communicating their implications. I can always leave links to this website for readers who are interested in the details. Accordingly, I have begun attempts to edit out the hardcore math/science (and edit the manuscript, in general – there has been criticism regarding typos, spelling, etc., which, to some extent, has merit). This editing process will take some time, though. Ultimately, when I have a more concise version of the book completed, I’d like to submit it to a few agents to see if I can get it into the mainstream publishing scene.

Meanwhile, I have been anxious to get going on my next novel, To Catch the Wind, a tale about a neurosurgery resident, the American medical system and the meaning of life. (What do these things have to do with each other, you ask? You’ll have to read the novel and find out:) At any rate, I have also begun work on this project simultaneously.

Finally, I’ve noted that the articles that constitute the background material for The Formula show a lot of inconsistency in style and format. This is because my knowledge of WordPress and programming was evolving as I was writing. In the future, I’d like to make these articles more visually appealing/user friendly.

Accomplishing these tasks will take a lot of work – and time. Hopefully, I’ll have more of the latter in the near future although, in life, this is never a certainty.

Until next time …
