"Initiation" (First Entry)

Sorry about yesterday everyone. Life got in the way again. Been some heavy duty stuff going on (which I'm not a liberty to discuss at this time) but suffice it to say that yesterday some of it caught up with me and I needed a day to recoup.

Chapter Five "Initiation" has begun strongly and the outline I wrote on Monday morning is really helping to pull it together. I know I've said it before, but damn, I love the characters in this book. I feel like I could walk right into the pages and hang out with them. Never quite had that experience before. Writing seems like less work and more play because of it. Though, I'll be honest, I still don't have much endurance per day. I like to get in and out before things start to feel too awkward. I'll explain that some other time ...

I can't believe another week has slipped by so readily. It's so odd. You always hear older people talking about how fast the time goes, and now that I'm one of those "older people" I have to agree. One week blends into the next so that you don't really even know what day it is. Your watch becomes as much a day-keeper as it is a time-keeper.

Unrelated thought. I know a woman who's going through a rough experience at the moment and I wish to applaud her for the courage she's showing. There's a lot to be said about someone's character and it can be defined through such singular events.

Also, Eryk has finished the first draft of his novel, "Just Slightly South of the North" and I'm proud as hell of him! Work will begin on the second draft shortly and sometime early next year Wicked Pages Press will publish the manuscript. His humor/sci-fi book series will fill a gap that Douglas Adams' death has sadly left open, and I look forward to seeing his name on the bestseller charts!
