I’d hoped to have time for a little rant on drafts this week, but it just hasn’t worked out that way. I blame The Green Hornet. If it hadn’t been so good, I wouldn’t’ve had to do more work on the article.

Anyway…

So, I’ve got nothing for you but this little gem my lady love discovered. Full credit goes to creator David Kazzie who runs a nice blog called The Corner. I’m sure everyone reading this has been in this conversation before, either in person or somewhere here online.

The real question is, which side of the conversation were you…?

Next week, the draft.

Until then, go write.

Yeah, I’m running late. Again. Two weeks in a row. I suck. Deadlines for the magazine, plus I signed the contract for the Ex-Heroes sequel.

So, nyaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh…

Thing is, I’ve been juggling a bunch of stuff and this week’s little rant has completely slipped away from me. I’m kind of ashamed, to be honest. I spent a lot of today looking at the rough notes I’d scribbled to myself and, well, I had no idea where I was going with them.

I thought about just tossing it up anyway. Kind of faking something meaningful, giving it a vague ending, and calling it good. That wouldn’t really be fair to all of you, though. And to be honest, it would just gnaw at me to do something I knew was wrong.

So here’s what I’m going to do instead.

Like any decent writer who knows something isn’t ready, I’m not going to lie about it to you or me. I’m just going to pack it away for now and maybe sometime in the future I’ll pull it out and realize what needed to be done with it.

Isn’t this kind of clever? Talking about not putting up a post has become kind of a post in itself.

Next week, the mystery of the fake mystery.

Until then go write.

And please write something longer than this post.
