Truck stop
After a considerable layoff, the first draft of Truck Me is finally complete. All the dates and days and objects now jibe (I think) and I cut about 700 words even though that wasn't really the purpose of the first edit.
The heavy lifting lies ahead. Another 9,000 words are to be cut (theoretically).
This week I also got around to writing the new ending for 'Displeasures'. It will need to be tinkered into shape and polished, but it's much more satisfying than the old ending. The funny thing is, the idea that spawned the story no longer exists in it! Just goes to show what a convoluted, unpredictable process writing can be. It's like planting tomato seeds and a week later discovering a bed full of corn plants. Bizarre stuff.
