A New Journey. Resurrected Post.
It is that time again. I started writing another book at the beginning of the week. The tentative title is Captain. It is the sequel to Boss (look for Boss in early 2019.)
A new project carries with it a farrago of feelings. There is excitement at starting a new work, anticipation to discover exactly what you���ve birthed. There is trepidation of failure. There is wary contemplation of the effort ahead, a reluctance to take that first step.
Step is an appropriately evocative word. Writing a novel is a journey, a journey of step following step with the destination always seeming to hover on the same unreachable horizon, never nearing. Until it does.
I know, of course, roughly how long the trip will take. I���ll reach the front door of The End around December. That���s a long journey. In comparison it only took Frodo three months from Rivendell to Mt. Doom. (Of course we don���t know how long, precisely, it took him to write up the details later. Probably rather labor intensive, that. Without a word processor and all.)
Anyway, I���m a bit over halfway through Chapter 1. I think. The road stretches on before me. Reaching the end of the journey is only a matter of putting one foot after the other. Over and over again.
Then again, once I do reach the finish line it���ll be time to start on another journey. I���m getting around, aren���t I?
