Second day
Wrote two days in a row. Yeah! While still working on the outline for PP (1st draft), I made a significant change to the main character (MC). He is now in his forties instead of mid-twenties.
Now I feel much more comfortable in writing his scenes. And I ready have much of the first three chapters complete. It will take minimal rewrite to fit the change. (Though I'll have to add the kids, though. And I'll have to rethink S.'s character since he's now the youngest--mid-twenties--in the triad.)
Now something a little more light-hearted:
How to write Epic Fantasy
Oh, cool! But Pure Maiden Warriors is so out of style...!

Two down...

Whew. Accomplished two goals so far this week.
Tuesday I finished up East of Eden. I met with my friends at our usual local and the three of us discussed the book at length. What an incredible discussion! I'll definitely be apply what I learned from the wonderful book (e.g., archtypes, the Cain and Abel fables, etc.) into my future novels. Next book: I, Claudius, to be read by and discuss on October 5th.
Last month Tribe contacted me via an e-mail message. The company asked if I could submit ten recommendations of venues based in Los Angeles for a gift. I finally finished the last recommendation (East West Playhouse).
Yeah! Now let's see if I get that gift.

Going towards the goal
While at R.'s place of work (see Words), I worked on my writing goals for the rest of the year. So far I have:
- Complete the first draft of a novel. (Hmmm. Is it realistic for a novice like myself to achieve such a goal in barely three months? I know professionals who can but most who can't.)
- Write those Tribe ads.
- Contact Forward Motion to submit an article for Vision.
- Start a comic book script.
