Who Comes After
I have notes stuck here and there in my office. Sometimes I can find what I'm looking for, but not always.
But I have the information because like most hoarders, I don't throw things away.
I enjoy researching for books and stories I'm writing. However, the problem is, my books and stories are epics.
My research is also epic, and in many instances it doesn't matter how the item is used in my writing I do copious amounts of research on it.
It may be automobiles used in certain eras, or a certain vehicle, style, color, motor...used in a scene. They are all fascinating history for me.
One of my favorite eras is the 1900s. So much history, inventions, and growth happened in that time frame.
I have currently a four book series written, with the first book still in a serious edit. And like many authors, some of it follows a chronological time, then takes a sashay into the past.
Then there is the Gene story where I've left him, his plane shot down, hiding somewhere in a French hayloft.
I'm wondering at this point. I've felt like I'm in the plane doing a nose dive toward land and no way to pull up. Young Fuzzy is the only one with any sort of vision for the four part series and even his would be different than mine. Yet, I do persevere.
Like Solomon in his Ecclesiastes book, who realizes that he has done all these marvelous works, but he won't live forever and someone else will take over after him, and he asks 'what is the point?'.
