It has taken me a lot longer to post a second story than I meant to take, but that seems to be me in a nutshell. Always late and behind in some way. I'm about to travel around a bunch and that means many hours in airports and on planes and trains and cars, so hopefully that also means lots of time to write. I have a couple of good stories in the polishing stages, and a couple of others just laid out as ideas which should be finished soon. Here's a preview:
A lone gunman is close to death and driving a stolen car through an Illinois snow storm fleeing a group of mobsters who want him dead along with the bound and unconscious girl in the car's backseat. Who are the men chasing them? Who is the girl and where did she come from? Who is the mysterious woman who haunts the gunman's dreams? Find out next week in Another Chicago Winter. (title may vary)
I love stuff like that.
Here's a quote that popped up on my Google quote app: We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action.- Frank Tibolt
It's basically the driving point of this blog and these stories. There's been a few times where I've sat at the computer screen, or the notebook, and not known what to write. It's kind of like unemployment. You can sit on the couch all day and it doesn't mean a thing, but when you get off the couch you have to ask, why am I standing?
Anyways, here is a new story which I hope you like. I was a big fan of Choose Your Own Adventures as a kid and I sort of wanted to pay homage to it, because if those books taught me anything it was the power of choice and how every living person is in the middle of their own adventure. Enjoy. Also I will publish it in a larger font size for those who wear glasses and can't read small print.
