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.
