It’s been awhile since visiting the subject of writing in this blog. This is ironic since I’ve been writing a lot instead of writing about writing. Confused? Yeah, me too.

Anyway, the sixth draft of The Ridge Runner is looking good. The beginning 120 pages are tight and the last 100 pages even tighter. Alas, the quest to fine tune an engaging middle continues. Middles are the hardest part for me, because every page must respect the conflict from the page before, stoke the flames of the larger conflict and set up the next situation.

Perhaps some day this will all be second nature. At least I hope it will.
