It's the story of him going someplace shady to play poker. I will warn you, he does use some language, but it is still an engaging bit of writing. I especially love his candor. He reminds me of one of my own sons. Which of course could explain my fondness for the boy.... :-) Anyway, here is the link:
I also have a a cross stitch project about 2/3 completed that I need to get in the mail by about the 12th of this month. I need to spend some time on it. I made great strides in the afternoon, now I just need to keep it up. And I even worked on my gourd a bit yesterday. It's almost finished now. I will take a picture of it soon and share! I have been a busy bee !
I actually wrote the dreaded transitional chapter in my novel yesterday. I can't tell you what a block I had with that! But from this point on, the story flows a lot more naturally. There is more action for one thing, and I like the whole thing a lot more. I think I can see how I was getting into the story by now in the first draft. For the first 50 pages, I was getting my "writers legs" so to speak. I know I will have to go back and re-do these pages again, but they at least hang together now with some coherency. Now the fun begins.
I am trying not to be so anal about getting it ALL right this time through. Otherwise I will get stuck.
