26Feb18 Updates

Haven't worked on the Wright story as I've gone back to the previous story in an attempt to make them consecutive.  Finished the final rough draft on the Priest story which finally sets up the next story which is the Busewalla thing. 

The problem is now I have to kind of stop everything to study for the Comprehensive exam. It's my second shot and if I fail this time I'll have to switch majors from American lit to probably Brit lit.

I'm finding it hard to focus on the studying these days. I am the kind of guy that needs to be tasked by a Professor to produce. Too much time away from the classroom environment has caused me to move on mentally. All I want to do now is work on my stories and submit them.

Just a peak at where my head is for the purposes of keeping his page updated.

I know, i know. I keep saying it. This fucking story! Why have i not quit this bastard yet? i mean there are easier stories. Stories that are deeper that i could tell in my sleep without breaking a sweat. but this one, she tasks me!

Okay. Streamlined the characters in the hopes of telling the tale on a smaller, more personal level. Cornelius and the Captain Clavo, her driven to find the mythical ship, him determined to never go back. its easier than dragging the whole military aspect into it and is less a commentary on said topic.

but i have come to realize Capt, Cornelius Busewalla is only the slightest variation on a character from a previous short story, Arsealious Wright. This could easily be a continuation of his tale. The problem is some shifts in the structure would have to be made but it could work.

So now i'm looking at yet another re-write, smh. This is the writing life folks. I complain but i love the challenge just the same. This story will be written. I'm of a mind it is my legacy, there is nothing else. That attitude alone should get the son of a bitch up and running!

I plan to post a bit of it here soon. I think it would be good to see some of the early stage and how the characters change with the re-write. we shall see.
