The Journal, Saturday, September 1

Hey Folks,

New day, new month.

I got Nick Spalding 1 (I’m still not sure of the title) sent off to my first reader yesterday.

Writing that one filled in a lot of previously unknown details about a secondary character who took a larger role than I expected.

So now I have to go back through NS2 and tweak it here and there. Should be fun. This won’t be a rewrite. Mostly I’ll be cutting some of Nick’s private thoughts re that character.

So there’s that.

No writing today other than this little bit. A shopping trip to Sierra Vista today, and otherwise a lotta nada.

Maybe watching some baseball, and I might even go nuts and have a beer. (grin)

Hope you all have a safe and enjoyable Labor Day weekend.

See “Living At Pulp Speed Five” at https://www.deanwesleysmith.com/living-at-pulp-speed-five/. Note especially how well thought out the challenge is. Crazy challenge, but well thought out, well planned for.

Talk with you again soon.
