I've been neglecting the blog as of late. Traveling for work, deer season, Thanksgiving, etc. All cut into my time blogging about the adventures of the Bryson clan. But my biggest distraction from the blog is the my attempt to finish up my novel starring my two boys. I finished the first 'book' of the series several months ago. In it Ridge and Colton do battle with a fierce swamp creature and recover an ancient diamond hidden by Spanish conquistadors. I have three 'books' in my planned story arch and I'm happy to say that over the past six months I've finished the second book and started on the third.
The second chapter deals with Ridge and Colton once again venturing into the mysterious Conquistador Cave. But this time they are magically whisked away to the Yucatan Peninsula over 500 years into the past where they battle a chupacabra monster in their search for more ancient treasure. "Fortune and Glory" to quote one Dr. Henry Jones Jr.
Anyway, the writing is going good but I'm anxious to be finished. I still need to finish the third chapter, involving a nasty sasquatch and there's a lot of editing to do before I try to get this sucker published. (Or should I say self-published, I'm not that naive) Plus I'm looking to add some cool drawings and sketches into the book that were drawn by Colton. (He loves to draw in my stories.) So that's going to take some time. It's just so dog-gone hard to be creative at night after working all day and chasing two rambunctious boys around at the end of the day.
But I keep plugging along and I'll get there eventually. I hear Peter Jackson is looking for his next project after The Hobbit. Hopefully I'll have it ready by then.
