Thanksgiving break has been a busy time for me. Besides cooking an entire meal, I also typed until my eyes were blurry. I'm really anxious to finish my new book and so is my wife. She has been on me to get it done. So getting as much done during my week off has been top priority. I'm at 404 pages. I still think I'm about two chapters from the ending. The closer I get to the end, the more nervous I seem to get. While I really look forward to the final punctuation mark, I really dread the time when it's all said and done. That's when the unknown takes place. How many will sell? Will people like it? Will this be my big break? During the writing and editing process, these questions are mostly silent. My focus is on the characters and the action during that time. When the book is printed and available to the public my questions plague me. This isn't about fame. It's about seeing the full vision of my work. That can only happen if I have the opportunity.There's always the hope that Marvel, DC, or some movie producer will stumble upon my Gruff trilogy and want to take it to the next level. Hey, a guy can dream, right? For now, day dreams and high hopes are at a stand still. They are still silenced by my unfinished manuscript. When Gruff: Rising Sons is complete the dreams, hopes, and the unknown can be as loud as they want to be. I still have more work to do. 404 pages and counting!
