Well sports fans, I went up north and got only a small bit accomplished. Totally feeling like it was a waste of time. I did get about 20 pages written and modified the length of some chapters. I don’t know. I am really feeling like I should just throw in the towel on this. It just doesn’t feel right. I don’t have the drive to complete this one, like I did the first one. The plot and story are sound but it’s is a much slower pace than the first book and I am afraid that I will lose readers and fans.
The first book was a labor of love and basically sprouted from the real-life plan to walk home 54 miles, rendezvous with my wife and get my kids in the event of a disaster that prevented me from using my vehicle. The story evolved from there. I alternated chapters which kept the reader engaged, this 2nd novel follows the main character and sprinkles in some alternate chapters. I’m not sure that anyone would like it. I am on page 210 and almost 2/3’s of the way through. The action will be heating up from here on out and will end on a cliff hanger. Should I finish? Should I start over? Should I just quit and give up dreaming of being a novelist?
I don’t know.
