Update on the latest book!

[PS Power]

All right, it's too short, and will never sell, but I wrote it just for you, wherever you are.

(Yes, I'm cribbing off a Barry Manilow song there in that line above.)



The current book is done, and I'll start editing in the morning. I am way uncertain about it. It's so different I doubt anyone will like it. Too emotional and a bit hard on Gwen, in a lot of ways.

Still, I'll finish it and let people judge for themselves.

Then start on the next book.

great, looking forward to it.

By Barry Manilow: (Just so people know I'm strange, but not taking credit for someone else's work.)

This one will never sell, they'll never understand
I don't even sing it well, I try but I just can't
But I sing it every night and I fight to keep it in
'Cause this one's for you, this one's for you

I've done a hundred songs from fantasies to lies
But this one's so real for me that I'm the one who cries
And I sing it every night and I fight to hide the tears
'Cause this one's for you, this one's for you

Yay! A book when I get back! Pulling into maimi now. LOVED the warm weather.

Don't feel bad, Dale. Barry Manilow did some really good songs. Darn it, now I have "Mandy" running through my head.

Looking forward to seeing Gwen's latest adventure. I think she is up for a little emotional stretching. Because she is inhabiting a beautiful shell, many people in her new world still don't get how strong she is from her constant conflict, physical and emotional, back home. Mainly only the Westmorelands get it. Her "parents" also, to some extent. I'm giddy as a school girl thinking about a new Gwen.....

Mwa.

Ha.

Ha!

The thing is a bit dark. I'm about to start the first rewrite now. In a few minutes.

[lenoirdenantes]

Can't wait for it to be released. Will be looking for the announcement. Gwen is a great character.

[lc_allen29]

Oh come on! Aren't you done yet? Don't release it next week. This is my spring break and I've read the entire internets (sarcasm meter pegged)! Don't go too dark with Gwen, she was already broken when she got here. She deserves a little pleasure in her life. What? She isn't real?

Take your time Dale. I'll be patient.

[lenoirdenantes]

I agree that Gwen deserves a life that contains happiness and pleasure. She has become a strong character because of her first reality. But she is still fragile.

[PS Power]

I should have this ready for you all to look at in about two days. Maybe three, but it could be less too!

That is, more or less, what the current story is about. Of course, filtered through my own warped mind, which means things go a bit differently than people might expect.



Which might be good, or bad.

It's a bit scary, to tell the truth.
