Crispin II

Home! We had an awesome weekend with just the two of us in San Antonio, even if he did do a little work while I took a nap. But it was nice. We were together and not worried about the daily crap. 


So I got a lot of great responses to Corpus Crispin. I'm not sure where I'll go with the story, but I got some good ideas on the road. Long drives (5 hours back to Dallas) are good for thinking. So I'm going to get back to work on a second chapter. 

Corpus Christi, the setting

I'm surprised it ended up in the Adult/Youth section. I think most of those readers typically look for much younger "youths" in the stories. I realized after I wrote the first chapter that I'd written Crispin to seem really young so I went back and put that he was 16. I know when I was 16, I'd been super sheltered and was just as naive and trusting as he is. 


As for Clayton's Acquisition. I also have some good ideas for that next chapter, but I want to hold off maybe a week before I work on it. I got a lot of feedback that Tare needs to grow a pair and fight back a little. The story has gotten stale, boring. That's not good.
