Our summer was so chilly and gray, it almost seems like we skipped
the whole thing. Now in the middle of September, the sun's
shining brightly and we're looking at a high temperature of 80!
Go figure.
After a few weeks of ripping out 2,000-3,000 words every day on my
next book, I screeched to a halt a couple of days ago, adrift in an
ocean of character emotions and watching my plot vanish in a
monstrous riptide. Whew! That was quite a sentence, but I'll
leave it there. Anyway... I took a little time to let it settle in
my mind. Last night I deleted a few of the most appalling excesses,
so I'm mentally preparing to go forward again, cautiously, on
tiptoes. Bah, who'm I kidding? Once I hit my stride I'll be
racing forward to the finish line, juggling plot points as I go,
hoping I don't drop any.
I originally planned to write three books about Sepp and
Claire's adventures, but I'm so immersed in this one and
things have changed a little in my mind as I've written. So I
really have no idea now what that third book is going to be about.
It could go several different ways. I have plenty of time to
decide, right?
