edited and revised

Update: This was originally posted without title - another mistake I won't make again.

For those of you who didn't make it by here yesterday, I published Part 7 of 'One Knight's Story'. The story - in fact, the whole post, is here. I won't do that on a weekend again.

I am preparing an edited and revised edition of 'One Knight's Story' as a single chapter of a greater whole. There needs to be one more 'Part' published before I will be ready to re-publish the story, so far, as that first chapter. It wasn't something I started out to do - on the other hand, I didn't start out to write as much as I have - but I now realize that if I'm ever going to be a better writer, I'm going to have to learn to re-write, and re-write and re-write. Til I get it right.

I spent the afternoon at the office yesterday. There is a particularly peculiar gremlin I'm working against that is making me crazy. Again. Meh.

Today is the first day of the two day Carnival in Trinidad and Tobago. Two days of non-stop party!! Oh, how I wish I could be there. Next year ... next year.

Wordless Wednesday - well, almost

UPDATE: For those of you who missed her, Velvetverbosity is back online - and I'm willing to bet that the 100 Word Challenge will be renewed real soon now.

I have some work to do to string "One Knight's Story" together a bit better - I have to go back and flesh it out just a little bit so there is a clearer understanding of where he is and why he's there. That said, in Part 5 he makes a decision about his life and decides in favor of 'Home and Family'. However, this is where his story really begins - for now he must find a way to get home to England, alive. I don't know where this story is going to take him - but in the past he fought in support of the whim of the Pope, and now he will be fighting for his dream - a wife and child; a home. And he WILL fight his way home.
