I finally got my stuff together and finalized three chapters. This was the necessary, and boring, part to bring those who haven't read the first two books, up to date, and understand what is taking place five years on down the road. I didn't try to fill in all of the blanks, but enough to carry the story forward. Now, I can get into the new story-line. The fun starts here. I have an outline, somewhat, but will let the characters carry the load until they stray and lose the way.
I have received a couple of suggestions about where to take the characters in this book but, to be honest, some things are way off the chart. I don't mind, and usually instigate, off the wall situations just to see if I can get out of the fix but, really, decapitation of a main player was a bit much. I'm not a "Texas Chainsaw" type. I cringe at a hang nail.
The Braves begin the new baseball season next week so there goes the evenings. I have settled into a late-night routine, when the house is quiet, and the dogs don't sit there staring at me, begging for attention or a lap to nap in. Spoiled? Of course not. I've said for years that in my next life, I want to come back as my wifes dog. Pampered luxury all the way.
Keep following 'Twitter" on the right side bar here to get daily entries on what I'm doing. Most of that is nonsense but it gives me a break, lets me float. Whatever that means.
Small towns are not unusual or outdated. This great land has many places with people who know what the word neighbor means, who always put hand to heart as the flag passes during the Fourth of July parade, and raise a ruckus with their hymn singing in church on a Sunday morning.
