Update on Works in Progress
Another National Novel Writing Month is in the books - I hope all of you who undertook it achieved at least some writing progress. My project for this month (plus a few days in December) was to work on two book projects. After I had finished The Rose Ring , my boys wanted me to write an action/adventure story with them. It took over two years of working on it every once in a while, and then it needed to be edited and formatted. This was really their story - I served mostly as a scribe and editor. The story ended up being about 20,000 words. During the past month, I did the final edits, proofread and formatted and gave them each a copy on St. Nicholas' Day as an early Christmas present: One of them wants to write a sequel. I don't know if that will ever happen, but it was one of those projects that was fun to do and I'm glad that they can have a physical reminder of the experience. As for my own project, my task was to revise the novel I finished several months ago. ...
