Well, there have not been many entries lately as I have been going through a patch of writers block. And finally as a way to bust through it I started a new story. But this is one I had already said I would be writing.
"Valley Girl" is the story of Linda, but from her point of view. It starts about a year before she meets Pete, and as of this time goes up to the point in "Country Boy, City Girl Book II" where she goes to his house while he is home on leave. There will be more to follow, but likely only after I finish she main story.
And realize, this is told from Linda's point of view. This was what I was keeping in my mind most of the time as I wrote the first stories. This is not the "realized perfect" that Pete was presenting her as through his narration, this is the real Linda. With her thoughts, which are quite a contrast from how Pete saw her for so many years.
And finally this should help put to rest all those that had accused me of "changing the characters". From almost the start, this was the Linda I was keeping in the back of my mind. What everybody has been reading is the "fantasy Linda", as Pete saw her. Not realizing what she was really hiding.
