Turn Left or Write

Hi everyone.  I took a turn this week from the main highway.  There was road construction so I had no other choice.  I landed somewhere in the Southern United States.  That would be the symbolism of my off-the-beaten-path writing excursion, but however you slice it, I struck gold!

I wrote a ten page short story.  When I completed it, I had the same feeling of “not bad, not bad at all” that I had while creating “Falling Whispers.”  Penning this short took everything I had in me.  So I must decide what exactly to do with the tale.  It’d be nice to showcase something new on Amazon while I continue to plug away with editing “A Love for the Taking.”  

Would you pay 99 cents for a ten page romantic escape?  It’s less costly than a full two week vacation and comes with dinner as part of the storyline.   So I can advertise a low fat, low calorie reading experience.

The idea came to me at three in the morning on Tuesday.  3 must be when my mind is working at full capacity.  I’ve come to realize sleep deprivation is a true friend of mine.  I always have something great to show after. 

Aside from that, I’ve been working with great determination on editing my current book.  One thing about writing a story of length, it also means a lot of effort is needed to make it shine after.  I’m seeing red with lines, cross outs and suggestions no matter where I look.  What would I do without my editor?  She was rather quick about it considering she juggled my book around her vacation.  I’m all for taking a lump of clay to re-shape it for the better.  The trick is in the elbow grease, the glisten is in the time involved.

I truly appreciate your patience.  Well I must be off.  There’s a lot to do and I’m on a tight schedule.  I hope I can travel write instead of left this time.  (Bad joke, I know.)

Until next week,
