I haven't blogged in the last few days because I've been writing. I don't have anything to share yet; besides I have to keep some things back. I'll want you to buy my book after all.
I've been finishing up my prologue, which I mistakenly referred to as Chapter 1 in my last posting. I'm also beginning Chapter 1. It's still slow going but I'm getting used to the rhythm. Writing is becoming a more natural feeling process for me. I suppose that's what happens when you do anything repeatedly and over time. You just become more comfortable doing it. What was once outside of your comfort zone becomes a part of your comfort zone. This is happening with writing for me.
I'm also re-reading some of my favorite mystery authors. I just started (for the second time) Robert Crais' L.A. Requiem. Crais is one of my favority mystery writers. His Elvis Cole character is engaging and funny (OMG, I sound like a book critic) and his dialogue is spot on and snappy. Crais seems to have picked up the wise-cracking detective genre where Robert B. Parker left off when Parker's Spenser novels went from fun to formula. After L.A. Requiem I'll be re-reading Parker's Looking for Rachel Wallace. This is one of my favorite Spenser novels and arguably the best of the series.
I'm trying to get on a regular blogging schedule every day. I've been writing every day, which is good. Because of that however, I've been neglecting my blog. Hopefully I'll get that straightened out soon.
