It's tough to keep it together in placid times. The uncertainty right now makes my thoughts even more flighty than before. But I do make a little progress every day on different projects. I hope any who visit here are well and will continue to be so.

Perhaps I went too far
I have the first draft of Penny and Drew and The Nearly Perfect Zoo. There were several options on which way to go, particularly at the end. I chose the hazardous way, the kind that means no editor will touch it. It's an essay concerning the welfare of animals, including humans. The human condition and how to upgrade it forms the conclusion. Because I diss war, poverty, racism, and come out for MeToo, to the young, it brands me a rebel. I may be forced to self publish or even offer it for free to those willing to share it. I have a few people to show it to before I make any decisions.

Zoo
As mentioned earlier, I work on other projects when I feel I am not able to do justice to my western novel. I've spent the week at work on a middle school children's book. It's beginning to take shape. I think it would be best for me to stick with it for now. It's a story that will require an illustrator of far greater proficiency than what I possess. I hope to get it to a publisher who will accept for publication and assign a really good artist, who is good with animals and people.
