Well, I've overcome another huge roadblock and am now in the process of rewriting the whole first seven chapters. Sigh.
I'm used to writing in third person. I like that it suits any age and I'm able to sneak in more information about the characters that way. This book has to be written in first person. Reggie has to tell her story in her own words. She's too strong and independent to have someone else tell it for her.
This means I am using some new writing muscles. I have to write better. I have to be able to have Reggie tell her point of view and do this consistently.
The prologue has been rewritten and checked out by Nick, Amanda and Jim. A thumbs up times three. It's time to move on.
Title pages are drafted and the book cover designer will get some materials this week. With a down payment, of course. Grin.
Life marches on. Take care.

Rebecca Leonard has teamed up with her son, Nick, in penning their first book, "Adirondack Nightmare: A Spooky Tale in the North Country". Nick, a sophmore in high school, did the 41 illustrations. It's a lively, quick read; set in the heart of the Adirondacks at Raquette Lake.
