Last night I finished my query letter (off to my sweetie for a prrof read) and got the first draft done of a 1 page synopsis. (495 pages boiled down to 1, that was tough.)
During the day I re-read the very first attempt I had made at writing a Seth Jackson story, Assuming Command written about 1992. While I used far too many passive sentences and glossed over too many things that needed their own scenes, the core story and characters still worked out very well.
So I liked, in part what I had written more than 20 years ago. Not sure if this says that the core is strong or that I haven’t grown enough.
