Prose Night at the Writing Life, 11 May 2024

A quick special update on a big project... and a new perspective on adult situations and an audience of kids.

I was a bit stuck on what I was going to write about this week.

I’m not quite at the point where I have some brand new fiction excerpts to reveal to you, and it’s not like I write a boatload of short fiction on the regular. However, I do have an update on where I am with a recent project I’m working on, and writing the scene which is part of the project made me think of a particular issue that cropped up as part of the writing.

So, I’ll split this essay into two different and somewhat related parts. The first part will discuss my recent work with what I currently call The Yank Striker 2, and the second part of the post will discuss the issue that arose from that writing. Call this essay, or random thoughts, a mix of progress report, philosophical exploration, and speculative planning for a new project. We’ll touch on all of it today. Join me?
