Well, my muse - that beautiful, inspiring pixie - was with me for a chapter and a half and then was chased away by the normal, every-day grind of work. Frustrating in a way to have hundreds of thousands of carefully crafted words spent on other kinds of writing but hey, that's what is keeping the lights on, so I guess I shouldn't complain.
So, here are another seven thousand plus words on the continuing life of Carl in the queue. I'm already a few thousand words into Chapters five and six but am working to get a few more plot points worked out for chapter five before I can finish it... which is tough because I've gotten excited by what's happening in chapter six and that keeps drawing my attention... when my muse and mood actually show up at the same time to actually work on it that is. Work also continues on my high fantasy novel-length story, though it has been suffering right along with The Dunkarian... but with that one, at least I'm more than 100,000 words in...
Anyway, hope you enjoy and I'm sorry I can't seem to deliver these any faster.
All the best,
G
