Not a lot to report this week. My work week was extremely busy, so only a little progress was made on the next Not About Lumberjacks story, which is tentatively called, “In Cypress Cove.” (And most work on that came on Saturday.)
But it was a good week.
For those interested, the opening of the next story:
Behind the Cut
I really love the Behind the Cut episode for “Milkboy.” It’s written, but not recorded. I’d love to release that by Friday.
What started as an essay about writing without a plan ended up an essay about friendship and struggles. In a roundabout way, that runs with the original idea…and I think you’ll like it.
Random Things
While it came out on September 28, I didn’t pick up Anthony Doerr’s Cloud Cuckoo Land until last week. It’s a departure from All the Light We Cannot See, which I like. (You may have noticed I like different kinds of stories — even from the same author. It’s kind of the reason for Not About Lumberjacks.)
With things slowing down, I hope to spend evenings, at least in part, reading. (But, admittedly, there’s a lot of writing to be done between now and the end of the year. To that end, I think I’ve decided on the short short stories for the Christmas episode.)
Another cool thing about last week? A bottle of my favorite hot sauce arrived!
Yellowbird’s habanero sauce is exquisite, but there’s something about the umami kick from trumpet mushrooms in this sauce that makes me happy they brought it back as a limited release!
The Rest of the Week
While last week doesn’t seem exciting when it’s all written down, I was able to get into the part of “In Cypress Cove” where things really heat up. But writing about writing can be a bit drab, especially if you try not to give too much away.
I hope everybody’s week is off to a good start…and that you do something cool along the way. For me, it will be releasing the Behind the Cut episode for “Milkboy,” and losing myself to a cypress stand in the Big Thicket of East Texas…
