I need to apologize to all those wanting to read the next chapter of “Running the Southern Comfort”—all five of you.
The whole idea of doing the novella online was to write one chapter each month for a year and have a completed novella by the beginning of 2008. As you can see on my site, two months later and there’s just the one chapter.
So what happened? Well, in a word, March. I was in LA for a film conference and things havent’ been the same since (almost before even). I’ve been dealing with beg bugs, stomach viruses, lack of sleep, a dead car, getting a new one, biking in sleet and snow in the dead of night, four consecutive days of getting up with only 6 hours of sleep or less, and generally being wiped out due to all the reasons mentioned. Yes you can read all about it in the blogs—the occasional blog has been the only thing I’ve had the energy to write for the last month. On top of all that, a number of opportunities to get my screenwriting career in gear has presented themselves and I’m trying to pounce on them as well. Suffice it to say I haven’t been able to start on that next chapter of the story. Like I said I wanted to have one chapter a month, and that failed to happen.
I do hope to have another section of the story coming soon, but please be patient. I try to be a man of my word, but I messed that up due to life cropping up in the strangest ways. Look to early May for the next installment of “Running the Southern Comfort.”
Thanks.
