I know, I promised...

But I haven't had much of a chance to flesh out my story. I've certainly added to the idea list, however, which is now 7 pages long. Every day I seem to remember something else that I hadn't thought of in years... last night there was a piece on sled hockey on the evening news, and I watched it closely to see if Rick Middleton was still coaching. The piece was about a group of players who are Iraq war vets, though, so it wasn't the Paralympic team. Just weird stuff like that. So I promise: a real post with a chapter next week!

The writing... yeah.. that.

So with multiple people in our house getting the stomach flu this week... the writing has gone by the wayside. So I'm at least one page behind. I added some more detail to my chronological outline today, so now I have 5 pages. Amazing how when I am laying in bed at night, what new memories come flooding back, even when they're not summoned.

Next week, the goal is to finish up the first "incident" story about the trees getting chopped down and get it posted here for your perusal and commentary. Slow but sure finishes the book.
