Startlement

My startlement continues.

The repackaging of my Oklahoma manuscript from a 15k short story to a proper 40k+ novella is going amazingly well.

I can’t help but wonder why?

I can’t help but wonder how I’m going to mess this up?

Perhaps writing this post was the jinx? Oh, well. I was tiring of startlement anyhow.

Until Wednesday (travel day tomorrow)…

First Born

Do I dare say it’s working? Or will I jinx the entire thing?

Having meticulously constructed two starkly different characters… having researched my brain numb over an exotic, contemporary setting… and then having dropped said characters into said setting and simply let them be, 1,100 scandalously marvelous words have been born to my new novel, Blue Is Not the Sky.

So, is the organic thing working?

I grin and dare not say.

Until tomorrow or Thursday (possible travel day on Wednesday, depending on the weather)…
