With my first week of 9-to-5, commuting work in the books, it's time to gear up for week number two.
Work continues still on the rewrite of, "The Plunge," and now I'm currently a bit more than one-third through it. My laptop crapped out a month ago, which in turn has prevented me from working on the computer document as much as I would like to. In turn I've improvised as best I can, and am editing and note-taking on the physical edited copy.
I put "The Plunge" down in December after finishing, and haven't picked it up since. By the time I was finished with the rough draft, I was so sick of the story I wasn't sure if I'd ever want to look at it again. Luckily re-reading it has enabled me to catch a lot of transition and other issues that were missing in the first run, and I'm reliving a lot of the moments I was experiencing approximately a year ago.
"The Plunge" is a fun story of pseudo-redemption that everyone can relate to on at least one level. Many will relate on all levels. Getting married is a life-altering step, and as I've learned it alters a few things you didn't expect to be altered. The act of planning a wedding is a different case altogether. It's hilarious to look back and see how serious such small things were, like buying a cake and picking out flowers.
On a different note...
This coming Friday the fabled Resident Evil series will make it's long awaited return to console gaming systems with its newest installment. I am looking forward to getting my hands on the new game and seeing what the survival horror franchise has in store for the new console generation.
I've been into the Resident Evil franchise for over a decade, and the 'zombie' genre has evolved quite a lot since then. There's no question that this venerable gaming franchise was a major influence on me while writing my first novel.
Until next time...
