Things to Talk About It
Great news! I've not only completed my rewrite of Apprentice, but I've already received a very helpful critique on the new work. There's more to be done, but I truly believe the story is becoming more solid and strong. And I'm not just making the story better. I'm learning why the story is better. That may be the most important thing of all, for it helps me with all subsequent writing. By knowing why a story does, or does not, work properly, I can avoid pitfalls and reduce rewrite time in the future.
For the first time in a long time I don't feel so far away from the goal. Probably am not, as the crow flies. But, like a winding river through a tilted valley, the journey may be quite long.
On another note, I now have four episodes in a new Heroines of the Night super hero story. There's an excellent chance I will have it ready for posting next week on Legion of Super On-Line Heroes.
And, I have attempted some drawings of faces. Not turning out at all like I want, but at least anyone should be able to recognize they're faces.
NOTE: Tried another cat drawing. My cat was laying in front of me as I was sketching and I tried to draw his profile. You can almost tell it's a cat. Nose sticks out too far.

I'm glad your writing is coming on so well.
Thanks. Wouldn't it be nice if my drawing and music could follow suit?
