Writing Update 1-22-12

I did get some writing done this past week.  But, I was also distracted by the flooding here in the Willamette Valley.  I'm fine where I'm at.  But I sure feel for all of those people whose homes were flooded.  I pray for all of their needs to be met and for their homes to be completely restored.  I also feel for the members of the family that lost two loved ones in the flooding.  I pray for God's peace, comfort, and strength for them.  Everyone reading this let's keep all of these folks in our prayers.  They are really going to need God's help through all of this.

I'm still working on "Sweet Nathaniel's Eyes".  This is going to be a very long story, and it's going to take me a while to write it.  So I want to be sure and stay focused on it, and spend some quality time on it while I am working on other stories.

Like I've mentioned before, in a previous post, I have three finished stories in the "Dawn Comes Softly" story collection.  I edited "The Peace Within".  This story is now in its second draft.  I made some minor tweaks on the first page of "The Night The Heavens Cried".  Basically I just added a date and changed the last name of a family.  Last night I glanced through "Little Sister", and discovered something.  I wrote this story several years ago.  Since then I've made major changes in notes.  So this story is basically a little out of date so to speak.  It needs some serious updating.  I think I'll work on it this coming week.

I am still working on the index cards for the three new stories that I'm wanting to write for "Dawn Comes Softly".  I gave a tentative title of "The Secret" to one of the stories.  But, I think I'm going to change that to "The Whole Truth".  I like that title better because of what the story deals with.  Of the three new stories this is the one that I will probably start first.
