Halfway There

Not that anybody reading this particularly cares, but I'm at the halfway point on the ghost story I'm writing.

I'm working through it with the understanding that there'll be ample revisions and rewrites to make sure it's all buttoned down. The life of a literary "pantser" as ever. We trade necessary rewrites for organic flow in the prose.

That said, I'm pleased how it's going, even though the shadows of the Catastrophe (see USA) hang over the work, as they hang over all of us.

It's hard to be a compassionate and thoughtful American. Maybe it always has been. Anyway, the work proceeds, which counts as a win in these troubled times.

I don't think anybody will read this ghost story, but maybe people will surprise me. It'll be the first one I produce under the new pen name. I have five pen names, now, reflecting different genre places I go.

If you do read this new book (coming out in Autumn of this year), I'll be curious what you think of it (e.g., ratings & reviews). If there's a decent reception for it, I may conjure up some more ghost stories. We'll see how it goes. As I already insinuated, I'm not really holding my breath.
