The writing begins
January 2, 2017
In a quiet coffee shop I finally begin writing a piece of work I've reworked countless ways as a screenplay. At the first of the year I'm dedicating myself to starting again this piece of work as a novel. It's going to be a slow but magical experience. Thank you Lord Jesus for giving me time to have the courage to start writing again. I walked around Liberty Station to clear my head when I got a little stuck writing. Then I went to Werewolf to eat the most delicious sweet potatoe fries ever and homemade ranch. The burger was okay but it's rare when the fries outshine the meal itself. Next I checked into Hotel Z and felt so relaxed. What they don't tell you is that in downtown San Diego you will never get a good night sleep! I heard sirens all night. Can't have everything. So overall good writers retreat. Have about 1500 words written only another 118 thousand more to go.
An update with this writing begins. .. . from the future of Sept 13, 2025
The book did, in fact, get written. Is it done? No. Is it going to be almost hopefully done and sent out to agents finally this year? YES. I’m in the final revising stages of Desert Wasteland. A book that’s lived with me for almost a decade, and it’s insane to believe that this little dream among a million others will finally make it into print. A lot had to happen to make this book become the version it was meant to be, but I wouldn’t want it any other way.
Until that time, wish me luck.
