I firmly maintain that just as a novelist wouldn't require video game credits and games writer shouldn't necessarily need to write a book, but the opportunity for full creative freedom is rare in our industry so the world of prose has drawn me in.<br /><br />I'm working closely with a small but long established literary agent on my third draft at the moment, and I'd say things have half a chance of going somewhere - though I feel like I haven't yet run the gauntlet of noble failures that most novelists go through. <br /><br />As and when I know anything more solid I'll post some more :-)Tom Juberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14570661671387482872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5979339353366878191.post-35512023397535774992010-07-08T16:09:30.175+01:002010-07-08T16:09:30.175+01:00A novel?
