First up, I submitted Chapter 10 of “The Immortal” for posting. After arriving for dinner, Mandy continues to explore her expanding relationship with Jim. More secrets are uncovered while future challenges and exploits are hinted. Though I know I sound like a broken record, as much work as this story is to update, I’m thoroughly enjoying reconnecting with these characters. It’s been far too long.
Secondly, as hinted in the blog post title, yep, the muses, after six months, slapped a viable framework for a sequel to “On the Highway.” While conscious me had been trying to wrangle a way forward, those little gits came up with a whole different approach. New characters, new plot, Daisy-focused, challenges, heartache, hugs, sex (well,duh), new partners. Whew. I’m now stuck with making sense of it all and building a workable structure for the tale. Already, I can tell it will be quite a bit longer. As a matter of fact, at this point I’d consider “On the Highway” as the appetizer in this saga.
Meanwhile, more stories are in the sheds. Some for SOL, while others are for private customers, but this whole scribe thing is going gang-busters. Sometimes, it feels as if there are not enough hours in a day, but wow, is this fun. Turning shadowy ideas into something approaching an actual story. With hopefully relatable, believable characters. Good times.
Anyway, thanks to all of you who continue to provide me support and feedback. As long as you keep fueling my crayons, I’ll keep scrawling the mad ramblings of those annoying little muses.
