All right. I know I intended to set the road rally, still without a title, draft aside until next fall. But it has a pull to it and i was just at the local road rally learning more about this sport.
I am buried in a rewrite of the original draft. It lacked so much. Character development. Better timing. More dialog.
Ridge will soon go to buy his car.
I still don't know what it looks like.
This is a problem. I find myself examining every car I see on the road. Is this the right shape? The right color? What car is that?
This fantastic little car came up behind me. I kept watching wondering where it was going. And followed it. And took its picture.
Next I get to browse my way through Ford's website looking for this little number to see if it will fit what I need for the story.
This may become a short term obsession. A complication is that I am searching for a new vehicle.
However, I am not car shopping. Cars do not haul hay. Their goat capacity is severely limited. I need a truck.
The only cure is to decide on the car Ridge will buy in the next chapter. Which brings me back to where I started: What car will Ridge pick out?
