The Wrong Rock: Out Like A Lamb

Out Like A Lamb

I realize that summer isn't officially over until the Autumn Equinox (September 22nd). Even so, the end of August - in the Old Amigo's mind anyway - heralds the decline of the season. This year, August 31st is especially "fall-like" here at the 48th parallel: it's been raining since before dawn. Go figure.

Looking Through the Trees Toward Whidbey Island

Don't get me wrong. Weather such as we're enjoying today is perfect for many things: for cooking, for enjoying a cup of hot tea, for writing... I, for one, am taking a break as I work on the sequel to LQF. Doing "in-fill development" today.

Sequels are interesting: some sort of recap is necessary, as is some amount of character description. After all, I want reader who picks up the second novel first to be able to enjoy it as a quasi-independent story. At the same time, I want the second story to get going quickly enough to engage those folks who read the LQF.

More on this as I explore and write further.

Stay dry. Stay warm. Be well.
