Determined to Persevere

      When an author dies, should another continue that writer's work through ghost writing?  Weird concept to my way of thinking.  What singing group was booed for miming their songs?  Laurence Sanders's books are done that way and many others.  Who should replace Twain, Fitzgerald, or Shakespeare?  Who could we get to replace Stephen King--should the need ever arise?  What ever happened to people writing their own books?        My weblog--my topic.  Okay?  :D  Today was deadline day.  Yesterday was supposed to be deadline day, but one of my interviews got moved to today--hence the added day.  I wrote almost one thousand wds there, before I started on my fiction.  Of course, that counts.  LOL  I'm dedicating the first thousand to you Z.  (what a shining example)  :)         I still have some editing to do on the Mallory novel--Road of Shadows. (Don't have a cow, Sal.  Just testing the waters.)  :D  Then, I have to work on a little story I am working on that is set in two different time periods.  I am writing both of the time periods at the same time alternating between the past and the present showing, of course, the effect of actions and events in the past on the lives of the people in the present.  It is challenging and a lot of fun.  I'm only 8,097 in right now, but hope to be a lot farther soon.  That's my mission for tonight.  I'll post the results.  I am determined to up my daily writing totals and meet my goals.  :D
