I’d like to take the time to write something profound here, but I’m too darned busy completing my latest project, Uncle Herb’s World War II story, which is itself pretty profound. Suffice it to say I’m about halfway through the first full draft of the novel, and on a timeline to get that draft done within a week or two. Right about on schedule.
At the moment, I’m taking just a short break to let you know this project is nearing the finish line. I just plowed my way through the central description of Herb’s gun battle with Japanese Zeros bent on avenging his torpedo bomber striking a destroyer of the Imperial Japanese Fleet.
That unequal fight (against seven Zeros) didn’t work out too well for Herb. Next I’ll be writing about his crash in flames on a tropical jungle island.
So now you know what I’ve been up to. I’d better get back to it!
