Yeah, I’m proud! LOL.
This novel was pretty tough at first, but once I recovered from the election, the need to rise above intensified. I forced myself to ask why I was making such difficult choices and commitment, when I am willing to let external events affect me. Bad as this year has been for America, the World, and all of us, the message needs to be grind harder and make the things real that we an. Once I thought of the sacrifices I had already made in committing to doing the book, I found the energy to go forward and bring Lyza to the end of her story arc. I did need to do a ton of last minute research about geology and it’s probably not 100% perfect, but hey… it works well enough.
I’m under no illusions. It’s not really done. It’s just a first draft, but the story is there and “just” is an enormous understatement.
WOW!!!
