Finished Lesson 8 of the new (name withheld) Fiction Writing Course

Got over 2000 words today. I am pushing hard on this class, and looking forward to:

• A) Finishing all the lessons… and
• B) Putting the class on sale

I needed to get some distance from the Ohio novels, so I can read back through the books I already have, and take a look at a couple of conflicting story ideas that I realized I was pursuing simultaneously.

Writing nonfiction moves me out of that world for a while, lets me get cold on the writing, and allows me to see where I’ve made mistakes or pursued wrong (or spectacularly right) directions.

Since I’ve done at least two takes on most of the five planned novels (and possible sixth)… I very much want to have the necessary distance when I read through what I have this time.
