Not a lot to say today, but thought it would be nice to mention how I’m feeling kind of upbeat about the writing.
-Started the latest rewrite of the outline for the pulpy adventure spec. After some more researching and figuring stuff out, the story seems more solid and streamlined. Completing the previous draft took less time than expected, and hoping to repeat that this time around.
-Already developing ideas for the pending rewrite of the western. Those combined with some great notes I’ve received make me pretty confident in what the end result will be.
Enjoying this buoyant sensation while it lasts, and hope you’re feeling the same.

I was just thinking about this earlier today — gotta harness the energy while you have it, because sometimes it just feels so torturous to even begin! Hope your rewrite is going smoothly and quickly!
Paul, there’s a fantasy novel you might want to check out. It may be at your local library, or Amazon has copies from $2.79, plus postage. Pavane, by Keith Roberts. Here’s a direct link to the “Look Inside” feature. Note the locomotive on the cover.
