Research, New Couch and Reminder

Hey all. I’m continuing to work on True Path. I’ve had to stop periodically to do some research. I called and spoke to the Chief at the fire department since my writing came to a halt when several questions came up. So, I’m talking to the Chief asking him about procedure on small building explosions.

It was a strange conversation for both of us. I told him that I was a writer and that I had some question if he didn’t mind answering. He seemed so leering about answering them that when I got off the phone I was waiting for the police to pull into my driveway. But to my relief no police came.

Storm of Magick is still on submission with no word. Although I really haven’t had time to dwell on the fact. Even when I’m not working, I really don’t think about it. I really have a lot of confidence in my agent that she will sell my book.

Dec. 1st I will post the winner of my contest. So if you haven’t entered please do so.

I’ve been busy also decorating for Yule. Everything in my house is red, green and white. We got a new couch for Yule from my mother and father-in laws. I got to pick it out. But we had to move the 30-year-old monster that we used as a couch to the basement. Several bruises later and a lot of foul words spilling from my mouth. All is done.

New Start

Hey everyone. I just sent several copies to my agent who will then send them out to editors. Again with the waiting but it’s part of the job. I was supposed to take a break but I wanted to immediately start on the next book. Book 2, which is called ‘True Path’. I can’t figure out why the first chapter or two is the hardest. I stumble about writing these chapters. It’s coming a little easier but not like I wished it would.

What can cause a writer to inch through the first few chapters? Is it trying just to get to the good stuff? Learning a new mindset for the new book? What ever it is it comes with every book. This will be my third book that I’ve written but it never fails. My mind clogs and I have to struggle with those beginnings.

This book is going to be touching on more things than the last. Some politics, religion and more characters. I’m looking forward to more fight scenes, which my agent said that I need to flush out more. But, I don’t want to draw it out to long. As usual, there is a fine line to flushing out a scene to becoming to wordy. What is your opinion on the subject?
