Good evening! Hope this finds everyone doing well. I thought I'd take a few moments and catch you up on the latest here.Sunday evening and we are preparing for yet another week at the day job--and, we are very grateful to have one!
So, what do you think about this BizJet? No, it isn't in my back yard. But, I spent all day Saturday and most of Sunday studying this plane. Why? Because it makes an appearance in my Work In Progres (WIP). I needed information like seat belt type, how many seats on the plane, and in an emergency landing, does that door hold hidden steps? How about the passenger briefing card? What's a person to do in an emergency without that? Does this plane have a particular common malfunction? Could that malfunction be caused from----sabotage?! If so, could there be survivors? Whew! These questions and more fill the action-packed WIP. Any suggestions for scenes, please pass them my way.
Currently, one editor is looking at the first chapter or so and another should be contacting me soon. One published friend told me that I shouldn't sell myself short and possibly just self-edit. Aweeee. Though that is a sweet thought, we'll see what comes back from the first chapter before attempting that one. I do so covet your prayers.
The steeple scene pulled together quite nicely. Thanks again for the input and emails.
At the rate I'm writing, I hope to have a first rough draft completed by September. Research is taking most of my time at this point. Tomorrow at lunch, I'll be researching home security systems.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the home front, life is busy as usual. A friend's daughter is with us for a couple months--a real jewel. Chris is nearing the end of summer school and will be visiting family and friends over the next few weeks. Lee is---what can I say---adorable as always :-)
Tomorrow? Hopefully I'll get all the facts about the break in. Oh, didn't I tell you??? The security system. Uh huh, someone will do a neat little break in before the book moves much further. Evidence for the crime is there. Whistle whetted yet? Stay tuned!
Blessings
