Sometimes, if I'm really lucky, I find characters in my brain that I fall in love with and enjoy writing about. Daisy and J.C. are two of them. I have no idea where the idea to write about teens in a small town in Southwest Georgia in the 1960s came from, but once I found myself there, the rest has come easily. I hope some of you are enjoying their exploits as much as I am.
"Banana Anna" is a story I posted 16(!) years ago, but now I feel the urge to go back and add to it. I hinted at that in the endnote to the original post, but I almost forgot about it. A couple of recent comments have ignited my interest. I'm unsure whether I should post the new part as 'Chapter 2', even though the first part wasn't posted as a chapter, or if I should create a new story, something like 'The Further Adventures of Anna Banana'.
Oh well, since I haven't even started writing it, and I have three others in the works, I guess I have time to figure that out.
As the Orange Mussolini likes to say at the end of his social media posts, "Thank you for your attention."
Not really an update, just a change of status. After struggling through 2-3 ideas of where to go with this one, I hit a brick wall and decided to declare it as "completed". Nothing was working for me, and it got too frustrating. I think it's still a pretty good story as is. I know there are some readers who won't read a story in progress, so maybe I'll even get a few new readers.
On a happier note, Chapter 2 of "Daisy and Me" is almost ready to post.
I usually don't post on Mondays, but since this is a holiday (in the U.S.), I thought I would give it a try, hoping that a few folks are looking for something new to read today. And, to those who have been frustrated by my recent incomplete stories, I'm working on that. This is turning into something like a real job, and I thought I was retired.
Daisy and J.C. have been in my head for a couple of years, and I've grown to love them. I thought it was time to begin telling their story. It's a fun story to write, which is always a good sign.
