I have made a decision
Four years ago, I purchased a laptop for the specific purpose of writing my first novel. I had a great idea (at least I thought it was a great idea). I got started and arranged monthly meetings with Tiff to share what I had written.
Things were going great. I was making progress and really liking my story. Tiff liked it too.
Then I got about 100 pages into the story.
Tiff started a different job and wasn’t working so close. I got busier. Soon we weren’t meeting and I wasn’t making progress. (Not that I blame Tiff in any way, it was only a circumstance.)
So the story has been sitting for a while. And I finally realized that the real reason that the story had stalled was because I didn’t like where it had gone. It wasn’t true to the vision I had in the beginning. But here’s the great part. It’s MY story. I can do something about it.
I will do something about it. And you, my fine faithful readers will be a part of it.
Look for Chapter 1 of Twisted Trails (working title) here soon.
Thanks for reading.

I guess I should clarify.
I liked the suggestions that were offered for further development of In the Distance or other new stories.
I appreciate the thoughtfulness of you the readers.
And I may come back to those ideas. But for now, I’m returning to my novel. It just feels right.

Woot! Woot! I can’t wait.
I’ve also started a story. Maybe we need to start meeting again to keep us both writing.

Awesome! I was just thinking about your story the other day. I’m looking forward to a story that I will get excited about (sorry, In the Distance just wasn’t my type of story).
