Signed up for 8 nights at Blue Cloud Abbey, Feb. 28 to March 8.\u00a0 My goal is to push Missing at least to the 2\/3rds mark for a rough draft, maybe more if I get on a roll.\u00a0 I’m considering getting up into time for the early morning prayers, 6:45 am, just to get the day started and feel that living connection with the 5th century.\u00a0 Since Missing has a medieval feel, an abbey carries a lot of that time in its essence.<\/p>\n
Missing is the first novel I’ve written that could, conceivably, be a series.\u00a0 It has a range of characters and its rationale will make it easy to introduce new plotlines and new characters. In the world of fantasy the series has good traction, a way to build an audience.\u00a0 Who knows?\u00a0 Maybe this is the one.<\/p>\n
I do have two other novels, Superior Wolf and Jennie’s Dead, that are a good way along, too.\u00a0 If this process works, maybe I’ll head out to Blue Cloud from time to time.\u00a0 We’ll see.\u00a0 There are, of course, those other novels:\u00a0 Even the God’s Must Die, The Last Druid, The God Who Wanted It All and, believe it or not, two whose titles I can’t recall.\u00a0 Each one could use a revisit, a revision.\u00a0 So much work to do.\u00a0 Glad I still feel excited about everything.\u00a0 Life could get long otherwise.<\/p>\n
I’ve been at this, more and less, since 1992, so it should be no surprise that I have some production.\u00a0\u00a0 Several short stories along the way, as well.\u00a0 Still, I’ve not pushed them out there, perhaps its fear, perhaps its indolence, perhaps its reluctance to discover my ability outside my own head.\u00a0 None are compelling reasons, though all are, at least to me, understandable.\u00a0 I’m back to the writing, wonder what it would take to get me marketing?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
