Wildhorse
The last few months I’ve been working on a project called, Wildhorse. So far it’s turning into a collection of short stories which are vaguely connected by way of location, and different characters that are loosely connected to each other over a period of four generations.
The stories range anywhere from the 12,000 word range to about 2,000 words.
The first story, which is titled Walking With Rosa, is in a fourth draft and is near completion. You know how it is; you do a draft, let a couple of people read it, get good advice—thanks, Justin—and then you put it away. I’ve put this one away three times now. I will say that I’m comfortable enough to post some excerpts, though.
Other titles that are in various stages of completion are: Wildhorse(third draft), Blue Horizon(second draft), and Little Whiskey And The Cave Of Life(first draft).
Other than posting some excerpts here, I have no idea of what I’ll do with these stories. Right now, I’m concentrating on finishing the damn thing.
