Was steadily working on the next short story in Hang's journey when I realized I've never even attempted a novel before; plenty of short stories but not the long haul.
With the work on Rachael's tale I'm already on what would be the fourth chapter or so, figure I might as well.
The second Hang story is crawling along. The outline is taking shape. It's degrading into a chase/shooter up which I didn't want but you try controlling the voices!
I alternate it with the "random Acts" because it's more of a challenge as its a character piece.
The original plan was to start "Random Acts" the tale of a man who's touch cause good or bad things to happen.
I thought if finished it but found I'd only done ten pages with no outline.
I proceeded to chip at it all day yesterday before putting it aside again. I feel the idea is too vague I couldn't arrive at what I felt was a satisfying ending. I'm still chipping at it but am mainly focused now on Racheal's Tale."
It's the follow up to Hangs Tale. The heartbroken dwarf is still trying to revive his dark elven mate but is sidetracked by friend Whimsy' scheme to finance their adventure.
