Week in review....

I spent the weekend going over things online.  I tried writing to no avail.  I'm going to give it another shot later this afternoon.  I've got a bunch of poetry to read, edit, and have critiqued.  I'm still working on a rough draft of Eternity's Edge.  That will take awhile.  I've run out of things to read.  I want to get more done this coming week.  The goal is 1,000 additional words. 

My younger sibling finished the first rough draft of his novel.  It's over 286,000 words!  It's way too long for a first time novel.  But he's done.  It's a cyber-noir crime story.  He's been working on it for a long time.  This was his second attempt at writing it.  It's long and involved.  My brother is a much better at descriptions and world building than me.  However, his characters have had little empathy in the past.  I don't know if that's changed with his latest writing.....

I'm working on new summertime projects....

I been reading A Collection of Short Stories, Volume:  One by Louis L'Amour.  I've also read a couple of Napoleonic fantasy novels that were OK.  I could write better stuff than what I've read.

Writing-wise, I've tried my hand at poetry.  I've also written a western short story (it's actually flash fiction).  I also restarted my rough draft of Eternity's Edge (about 27,251 words).  I hope to have about 40,000 to 50,000 words by the time I'm done with the rough draft. 

That's it for now...
