Halfway Home

Monday, February 26th, 2007

I’m happy to announce that Severed Dreams has pushed its way past the halfway mark with the completion of chapter 20, tentatively titled “Lost Chances.” The rewrite is on schedule and should be completed no later than June. From there it will undergo the scrutiny of my fellow authors before a final round of rewrites.

Things are shaping up nicely. I’m feeling really good about the first half of the book, and I’m really excited to bring everything together for the big finale.

I’ve pretty much given up on my flying car. If one ever sees production, the average joe won’t have the wallet to get it off the ground. Still, it’s nice to see that someone is thinking outside the box. While the video’s demo model looks a bit clunky on the outside, it’s like a jet fighter on the inside. With a top speed of 115mph and an equally impressive fuel economy, this little vehicle could save the environment and your drive-time boredom. All it needs is a roof mounted baby seat for the suburb crowd…
