Crossroads

Mark this date down.
I am literally at a crossroads........

Its only just colouring outside. Dawn is approaching.
On the table in the sunroom lies the completed first draft of "Flora and Fauna." It has been collated, printed and put together in A5 form and all 14 stories are ready for "reading"
I have spoken before of my "Gang of five". Editors/Book shop owners/Avid readers and ultimately friends whose literary opinions I value and respect.
Now.......finally it is completed to a stage where I am confident enough to show it to the world.
Self publishing is a risky business. One must have confidence in ones own judgment.
Hopefully the input from my critics will propel the work to a fitful conclusion.

I have been self editing for weeks/months now and can no longer see the forest for the trees.
I won't look at it now for a week or two.

Also at the crossroads of music.
The Blue Valentine CD is almost finished and ready for mixing.
The direction of the music coalesced as it went along and a lot of songs and ideas fell by the wayside. Now it seems to have a voice of its own.
I am now collating rushes and takes from the 2004 sessions of the Figtree Renaissance "Stone Fruit" project.
It is the next project to sink my teeth into.
The show must go on
