Revisions

Episode 10 of Scurvytown is proving itself a little bastard to write. I am just over 350 words into it, with a decent start, but the rest is not as forthcoming as I would like. It’s kind of like you’d imagine what trying to pull Captain Tullis’s teeth would be like. Man, could you imagine being his dentist? Ugh!

It’s been a tumultuous little shit of a week, and I will be glad to see the tail-end of it, and am looking forward to throwing myself in front of the ongoing traffic that is the weekend, as soon as I see the headlights begin to round the bend.

I have been working on some ideas about what I want to do next with Scurvytown, and the “what happens next” is definitely impeded by a much-needed editing process. I cannot deny for a second that this story needs some professional help, if I ever hope to do anything more with it than post it on this crapshoot of a website.

So please, feel free to offer any advice on where/whom I might turn to for help in gaining some focus and perspective on this project. I know there are timeline issues, narrative flow issues, and a multitude of other problems that I have no doubt can by overcome with a little spit and elbow grease, not to mention cursing at the keyboard until the story somehow rights itself (because it ain’t going to write itself, that much is clear from my troubles with episode 10).
