Coffee With David

As I wrote in my last "Coffee with David blog", I am having to juggle a lot right now. During some moments when I actually had time to think on the stories and novels I am writing, I began to understand how much of my schedule I will need to juggle, what I will need to do, and how I will need to re-prioritize things.

Here is what I have realized and why I consider it humorous in a twisted fashion. One, the novel Dark Medicine will need to be re-plotted and rewritten. I will discuss this in more detail in the blog dedicated to that novel. A second thing is that the novel The Guardians needs to be so re-imagined that the original novel it was derived from needs to be tossed into an incinerator and the ashes swept into a dust bin. I will discuss this in more detail in the blog dedicated to that novel. The third thing I have come to grips with the new issues I have to adjust to is that the short fiction I am writing will have to be reduced from the original ambitions to trying to get one story out a month—and not stressing over it if I don’t.

The fact is, as much as I love to write and how much my heart is dedicated to being a full time author, I am not there yet and must give top priority to the “bill paying job.” I am not surrendering, I am not retreating. I refuse to surrender. With a force of will I am regrouping my efforts and holding the line to reach fro the stars and beyond.
