Things are moving briskly

As the Dream trilogy continues to draw interest I forage forth on other projects. On my drives to and from work I ponder plot issues and developments; when I get home I read, do research, seek inspiration on TV, and above all sit in my man cave tapping on my keyboard, trying to turn concepts into prose and rough drafts into something worth reading.

The third book of the Yard Gnomes weighs heavily upon me: the grunt work is done but I lack the spark that ignites a plot concept and lifts the project to a finished state. I attack the issue from several angles, and have made progress. Another project languishes at 60,000 words, hung up in a plot hole which I have yet to resolve.

Compass chugs along, closing in on 90,000 with nothing but time standing between it and completion, and other projects live on notepaper, swirling in my mind like exotic dancers.

I am in the groove, writing-wise, and am planning to take a week off to hammer on the keyboard and embrace platform gaming.

If all goes well 2017 will see a second book from me and a dedicated effort at a third.
