Sometimes, actually most of the time, I forget that SOL is viewed all over the world. As I was reviewing my latest submission, I realized there were a couple of things that might have been confusing to someone not from the US. So here goes:
(1) The abbreviation "j.v." is short for junior varsity, which in most American high schools means athletic teams for ninth and tenth graders (14-15 years old, usually).
(2) And this one might come in handy for any readers under 50. The title of the story is the first line of a song that was popular 40-50-60??? years ago. The next line is "to get along with the beautiful girls".
There, I feel better. I now return you to your regularly scheduled reading.
I've been stuck on how to proceed with "Daisy and Me" for a while. Then Thursday night (or Friday morning if you want to be picky), I got up to take a leak, and when I tried to get back to sleep, there it was! The next chapter, almost complete, including dialog. Spent the rest of a restless night not sleeping, but with bits and pieces of the story coming together. I've been busy working on it for the last couple of days, and hope to have my vision ready for posting in a few days.
I love it when my subconscious takes over and solves my problems.
As promised in my last blog entry, I posted new chapters for "Daisy and Me" and "Cassie" this evening. Now, on to work on a couple of new stories.
I retired a few years ago, but it seems like I'm busier now (but having more fun).
I don't usually do this, but I thought I would let folks know that my recent sickness and lethargy are over, and my keyboard is humming again. Hmm, maybe I should have that checked out.
Anyway, the next chapters of both "Daisy and Me" and "Cassie" are moving along nicely, and I have two new stories that I'm just getting started on. I know, I know, trying to juggle that many at once only slows me down, but it's how my mind works.
Maybe posting this will make me work harder and faster, so I don't disappoint. We'll see.
