So back to the weather for a topic. Speaking of which it’s 35F and sunny, and going up to mid 60s.
I was interviewed by the local TV channel regarding the fire, but I didn’t get a chance to plug any of my books. That’s two regrets I have. The other is I didn’t get to make my nudie debut, either.
Speaking of writing, I’m making good progress–another 3 pages yesterday. I believe it’s like everything else; when you’re on a roll things just tend to go better. I feel I have a better handle on the story too, and that is what was missing for a long time. I just couldn’t equate to the characters at a gut level, and they kept fighting me, but now we are on more personal terms.
I also like the characters, personally. There’s Cory (17), the principle character: bright, a little cocky, and just coming into his own; Spencer, Cory’s father, English born aristocrat, and mentor; Reb and Jaycee, supporting characters: typical slow-talking cowhands–rustic philosopher-types.
Of course there has to be bad guys, in this case two, who are sleazy, self-serving crooks (“Holly Rollers”) with their eyes on Spercer’s holding–principally the 40,000-acre “Prodigal Son Ranch”.
Now the challenge is to bring it all together.
Regards, Gerry
