Good morning/afternoon/evening all. I just submitted Chapter 9 of “The Immortal” for posting. This is one of the newer chapters I’ve added to provide context and background for Jim’s tale. As always, I do hope you enjoy it and his latest friend.
This week has seen a lot of work on a flurry of other stories, as well as a hard scrub of my physical and digital spaces. In the former case, I have decluttered around my writing desk and better organized my references. In the latter, I optimized my story/concept tracking system and redid my digital folders to provide better transparency. All of which allows me to be that much more efficient.
Now for the bad news, while I plan to have the next chapter of “My First Fan” up this Saturday, I won’t be posting next week.
It’s Fantasy Writers Week, and I will be attending on-line seminars all week, plus getting my eyeballs checked, which means doing nada for a whole day – dilation time. As much fun as this gooey stuff is, my heart is in sci-fi and fantasy writing. By definition, both “The Immortal” and “Aiden and the Ring” could be considered low fantasy, so there’s that. My earliest refences are a book on sci-fi world-building, dated 1996, and Orson Scott Card’s “How to Write Science Fiction and Fantasy,” 1990. So, yeh, now that I are be one o’ dem half-assed, wannabe scribe types, I’d like to learn more ™.
So, next Thursday posting should be 10 March 2020.
As always, keep the feedback coming. Your emails and comments make my day and I love conversing about writing, characters, and their luscious accounts.
