Hey Folks,
Not a lot to report today. Hope you won’t mind a minuscule post. Somehow, I think you’ll survive. (grin)

Today, and Writing
Rolled out at 2:30 and around an hour later I started working on the novel. I felt (subconscious) something wasn’t right, so I went back to the beginning and started reading through it (cycling).
As I mentioned earlier, this is a sequel to an earlier novel, but it’s also a self-contained stand-alone novel. I had omitted information the characters were trying to give me but that I knew was already contained in the first book. Tricky. (grin)
But because I allowed my subconscious to play freely as I read back through it, those parts slid into place easily. And (shock, shock) they set up all-new conflicts in this story. Those will enable a few minor but important characters from the first novel to take their rightful place as major players.
God I love this process! This is another future-earth novel of political intrigue with religious overtones.
Not enough writing today to meet my daily goal, but enough on average so I’ll take it, especially for a Saturday.
Back tomorrow.

I did the same thing you did today. Not finished, just taking a long break. Worked from 8 – 4 and the characters added some much needed tension. About 1/3 done I’m guessing. Who knows. Just pacing along. During breaks I read through my presentation for the 15th. Only took about 12 minutes, but with my examples and etc should be fine. Going to put the examples into a power point so I don’t have to fumble through books. Thanks again for your help. MAC
