It’s that time of year again. I will head to Oshkosh, Wisconsin, for the Lakefly Writers Conference in a week and a half. I need to decide what I will read during the open mic event on Friday. It was so much fun last year. I also submitted a flash piece to the annual writing competition. They have notified the finalists, and I was not among the lucky few. So, I’ll try again next year.

Work on my second novel hit a few bumps, and it appears I will need to rethink the chapter sequence to include threads from the first book that are necessary for plot continuity. Thankfully, the new chapters should fit nicely, interspersed with the existing ones. Writing with multiple POVs is new for me. I hope I can do right by the characters.

In addition to the rework on my second novel, I’ve written a short story focusing on a Highwayman. It was a project inspired by the song, Highwayman, by the country supergroup the Highwaymen. The response I received from my writers group to it was positive. It is now ready for submission. Just for giggles, I started a sequel to it.

So, there you have it. A quick update on my writing endeavors and a preview of the upcoming trip to LakeFly. I’ll keep you all updated on my progress, slow that it may be.
