3 Days until Dare II



        


     I'm fully immersed in a "Get Ready for the Dare" mode.

     Yesterday, I finished preparing four manuscripts for the mail box and scoped out my plan for the rest of the week. Today I'll study of the world I intend to write in--I'm going to work in a fantasy universe I created several years ago. Wednesday, I'll finish the short story I've been rewriting about Garrard, then decide for certain whether I want to use him as the main character of my Dare or not. Thursday, I'll do a full character sketch of whoever my main character will be. Friday, I may just sleep!

     This is an interesting moment to be working toward another novel. Lisa is copyediting a "How to Write" book now by a well known SF author. She's had me read a chapter or two--consider it my inside advantage--that are definitely thought provoking. I'll have to follow a few of these brain puddles to see where they lead.

     I also took Brigid on a "special date" yesterday. I try to take her out wherever she wants to go on a routine basis (sad to say, I've been delinquent over the past couple months). We ended up at Noble Roman's pizza and Dairy Queen. She watched the pizza being made and read me Garfield comics. Overall a good time.

     See ya tomorrow.
