Things have been rather busy here at White Owl Manuscripts headquarters. My wife and my son have been in West Virginia all week helping make homes warmer, safer and drier as part of the Apalachian Service Project. Of course the first day they were away, July 4, we had a terrible storm that tore down trees and knocked out power for two days. A live power line came down across the street and burned for an hour. Pretty scary stuff. Here's a picture I snapped:
Once power was restored, I was able to take Thursday and Friday off from work as I had scheduled previously. This gave me a chance to, in addition to some chores and yardwork, concentrate on some writing.
And write I did. Over the past three days, I managed to write almost 3,500 words. That brings my current WIP up to 10,400 words over 16 chapters and 54 pages.
The really exciting part is that I think I've ironed out several, but not all, major items that had me stumped (and paralyzed). At this point I am feeling pretty good about the story to this point and I have great hopes So much so, that I've finally been able to come up with a name for the book.
It has been troubling because usually I have a title in mind almost from the very beginning of the process. So I am happy to announce that the second book in the Dragon Island Legends series will be entitled Serpent's Den. I will keep you up to date on my future progress soon.
Peace
