And they call this a holiday

Tomorrow may be the Independence Day but it is not a holiday, not around this house. I ave finished putting my edits into the computer and after reading the ending, for the 5th time on full read through, I am not happy with it. It seems to be missing something that I can't put my finger on. I think I may have to let this one simmer for a while longer and maybe change the POV that I tell the story from. Not what I want to do, but I think it will do the story more justice. Besides, it is only 23,000 words long so it won't take long to change it. I just have two POV's I would tell the story from. The third one I can't consider because they die in the end.

So, now that one project is filed until a later date I can focus on cleaning the house and building monkey bars for the kids. Tomorrow I bake some cookies and then we blow stuff up, or watch other people blow stuff up, legally. It is completely legal.

Also, before I go I want to give a shout out to Barry Napier who just had his collection, Debris, picked up by Library of Horror Press. If you haven't already, go on over and give him a virtual pat on the back. Even if you don't know him. He would like to meet you. He is a nice guy, really.

To all of you out there, have a good and safe weekend. Don't put sparklers near your eye or in your friends eye, although rude strangers- NO, Don't do that either.

A little later than expected.

I finally finished the edits on my Middle grade book, "Big Chief's Gold" yesterday. At least what I had written. I have completely re-written this thing twice now, this is actually the 3rd time, changing the tense and the POV each time. I think I have it right now. I just need to finish writing it. I am almost up to the climax and in this new POV it should be easier to do. The last POV I wrote it in stuck me at page 76. At least I know the story, inside and out by now.

I have been toying with some short story ideas and I think I have an entry for the Vermin Antho. I am still trying to come up with an idea for the Oz book. I think that one will take a little bit of time to do.

Anyway, I have a ton of stuff to do so I will now be going. Have a great Wednesday.
