Writing Update - 3/06/16

Looks like I've taken quite the little hiatus from my blog.  I have returned!

I'm looking at my last post which was dated 9/28/14.  The revisions of "Grey's Cove" and "Little Sister" have been finished.  "Trampled Rose" became two finished stories - "Trampled Rose" and "Friends".

I think I did not finish even one story in 2014.  But in 2015 I finished seven stories - "Trampled Rose", "Friends", "Priceless", "The Empty Place", "The Letter", "Lost", and "The Necklace".  That was definitely an improvement.  I started 2016 off with finishing another story - "Return".  Now I need to go back and edit all of those stories.  They're all still in their first drafts.  I want them to go through at least three drafts before I let anyone read them.

Also in 2016 I revised another story - "Forever, Daddy!".  This is a story that I was never really satisfied with.  I wrote the first draft back in the 90s.  That first draft just didn't click with me.  But, I changed some things with the second draft.  Now I think the story finally clicks for me.

In my last post I wrote something about possibly writing five new stories at the same time.  I think for now I am going to stick with writing only three new stories at the same time.  Right now I have three stories in progress - "Whisper", "Daddy's Dream", and "Travis".  These are all working titles, by the way.  "Travis" will probably get changed to something else when I finish the story.

I'm thinking I want to start another series of background history on some characters here in my blog.  At the moment I'm thinking of Travis Young from "Travis".  We'll see.

I want to be sensitive to where the Lord leads me.  I want to write what He wants me to write.
