I've sufficiently recovered and enough time has past since the end of my marathon writing Noah's Custodian. I've been kicking around an idea for a Christmas tale which will likely be a short story, maybe a novella. I certainly don't expect it to be 50,000 words like my NaNoWriMo challenge. I plan on starting it this weekend. (Disclosure- I did have a false start on it a couple of years ago, but wasn't ready then to get very far).
I always admired The Polar Express movie and book, but was a bit sad that it, like so many Christmas tales, addresses only the secular Christmas celebration. I wanted to craft an equally adventurous tale that doesn't ignore the real 'reason for the season'. We'll see where it takes me. Some initial, interesting research already made it a worthwhile venture for me, even if I don't get a good yarn out of it.
Speaking of Noah's Custodian, I did sneak a peek at the ending I wrote, and while it needs some buffing and polishing, I'm still pleased with the conclusion. Not to say I won't change things once I get into rewrites, but I know I have a feasible story.
If you found this blog after my Facebook post, welcome. I'll try to post at least two or three times a week, maybe more. This blog is meant to 1) give me a place to write frequently, even if I'm not writing a story.. 2) a place to interact with- dare I say- eventual critics, detractors and/or fans?.. 3) an outlet for me to keep interested parties updated on what I'm reading and writing.
