The prologue

The weather has turned muggy and hot on us. It makes for uncomfortable nights. And, since I live near a swamp, the frogs have taken to nightly choruses - a strange lullaby to be sure.

But on to novel news!

Twelve pages fell before my mighty pen this weekend. Since my goal is one page a day, I consider ten pages a gold mine! Most of the prologue was rewritten. I will let those pages sit a day or two to fester and then I will polish them off before sending them to my reading editors. They will give them a look over and then another rewrite before I release them for public consumption. But I don't forsee that taking too long. But as I said I would hopefully release the prologue this weekend for my readers, I will instead release my prologue of my prologue. It is the first sentence. Because I am pretty sure it will not change.

"The death of God took longer than Agitar expected."

Make what you will of it. Of course, it is a teaser, makes you think all sorts of things, and most of them are probably false. I promise I will get the full prologue out as soon as possible.

For all you writers out there struggling with writer's block, or even you souls with something on your mind, here's my advice. A good run or a walk. Give your body something to do while your mind works out it's problems, or as in my case, unfurls my imagination. I like running because I am too busy to worry about fear and all those thoughts that I'm no good, no one will like the story, it pointless! Instead, I just let the characters do their thing in my mind. Words and lines and dialogue come more often than not.

I always count it a blessing when I write well. I feel lucky to be able to do something that I love. All in all, this weekend went well.

And a quote of mine, "Mankind seeks and admires the wild in nature because it has lost the wild in himself." SC
