School is on – again.

Kids are back to online elearning for this week, so I can’t promise that I will add as many or any full installments to the ghost of the dirty starling this week. I did write close to five thousand words for it last week with four chapters and a side-note anecdotal addendum that goes into a little more detail about one aspect. I’m trying to flesh out how to tie several storylines together without ballooning into a 100,000 word novel. I want to be concise wherever possible and skip over anything repetitive or boring. I don’t mind exposition, but I’d rather leave more to the imagination to bridge gaps than write all of the inbetween events. They did start as micro shorts of about 400-500 words, so the few that get into 1,500 to 3,500 should be the exception rather than the norm. Guess I’ll break out the construction paper to build a road map to pull the strings together soon.
