Red Sky Title Page

I printed out my novel Red Sky! It is so cool to actually hold the hard-copy in my hands!

Today was one of those writing days that when I sat down to write the first thing that I thought of was, “What am I going to make for supper?” Good advice is to push on through and write no matter what. Guess I’ll take today off

I have about 25 pages left to edit for this draft then I will have to decide what I want to do with this book. I was thinking of self-publishing but I may send it to an agent instead.

I had to figure out a way for my characters to get around the security fence at the nuclear plant that wasn’t too easy. My current way of getting them into the facility didn’t seem realistic enough. One of my sons gave me the idea using a carpet to lay over the top of an electric fence. I think he saw it in a movie, maybe it was “Fight Club.” Anyway, I have to go back and work it in.

I’ve been fairly close to the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant by walking along the Lake Michigan shore. The Van Buren State Park is right next door and it’s amazing how easy it is to get close to it.
