Getting there...

Just rewrote a very quiet moment between Léon and Gabrielle...with a truly blunt attitude from her. She thinks she's maintaining some control of the situation by taking Franz and also keeping Dmitriy, but that's not how things will work out.

I'm getting closer to the ending of this book. Know what's going to happen and then give a strong indication that Gabrielle is in over her head with Franz. He's going to be fun...as is her exasperation with him.

A couple of old projects have come knocking at my brain. An old reworking of Beauty and the Beast, which I set in Ann Arbor, MI at a private high school. Called it 5 Dates.

There's also Mine To Kill, a horror/suspense story that outgrew the confines of screenplay format. About a woman who tries to bring her husband back from the dead so she can kill him.

The Murder of a Quiet Man is nudging at me, as well. Where a simple misdemeanor arrest goes out of control and winds up in death and destruction.

And what am I doing? Just puttering along not rushing anything as I grow older and older and lose more and more of my ability to focus. It's really irritating of me. But the world being in chaos, I really wonder if my work will even be read...

And then I remind myself, when has the world not been in chaos?
