This is my last delaying tactic before I start rewriting The Edge of Darkness. I know where I’m going to start. I think it’s the right place. Only this time I’m going to trust my training and instincts. I have been a professional writer for nearly 30 years. I have a tool box filled with tools. I just have to trust that I still know how to use them.
That said you can always add a new tool, and one of my associates at Rio Hondo gave me a marvelous piece of advice. Paul Witcover said to me, “Every first book has a back story too. We just never worry about telling it.”
So as I leave the blog and move to word processing I’m going to develop amnesia and pretend this is the very first Edge book.
