Somehow things have just opened up in the first draft of the new novel. You never know where you are in the process of completing a narrative - not really. But I estimate it is 2/3 complete. And a whole lot of fun to write. The creative part is really just enjoyable work and problem-solving. And the draft of writing is a mixed bag of good and bad. But to keep moving ahead, in this phase, is always good.
The real 'fun' part is coming back to it from a readers perspective - because that is who I am writing to. And man, as with Land Run, I believe you guys are going to have some fun! :-) Also, with some twists and turns, depth, drama, and humor. While the 'culture-clash' in Land Run plays out in a current-day local community - the next novel is international in scope. And if you enjoyed the use of history to inform the story of Land Run - well, there is some of that in the next novel as relates to the Cold War.
BTW - if anyone has questions about Land Run or anything really please feel free to post in the comment section.
Just a quick reminder if anyone is available - I will be at the Tar River Festival this weekend. The town park will have all kinds of events for the whole family. And the shops spill out into Main Street.
