Distractions of “real life”

As a blogger I can only offer my sincerest apologies for the lack of content this week. To say it has been hectic would be somewhat of an understatement as I have been bogged down with non-book life, mainly DIY, work and gym time. All of which are my necessities which means I haven’t had much chance to sprawl myself onto the white screen of my Word program.

That being said though the story still continues to develop. I’ve got the first part pretty much squared away in my head and will HOPEFULLY have a full draft of “Part I – Conspiracy” by the end of May if not before. From there I need a full class brainstorming session to flesh out the base idea that forms “Part II – Return”. I know exactly what the function is of this part and it plays an integral part of growing Jack based on his past and new experiences.

I saw this as a gym mantra but reading it again now fits to my writing too! Hell it’d be nice if I saw The Rock one day reading my book!

Some people have criticised and questioned the method behind the story of Footprints but for me there is no need to justify the story.I have offered a story that operates on various levels and if people don’t like this type of story telling then I have learned that I cannot please all but those who do take the chance to read what I write can form their own opinions. Yes some will like, some will love and some will not. I cannot please everyone and in the end we all start somewhere!

To that end it is really a quick blog to say I AM STILL HERE and I haven’t forgotten you all that take the time out of your days to check in and see what I’ve been doing towards getting Jack James as an established and loved character who has an interesting story to tell and be read!
