A Revision Update, and Revisiting Obsessions of Old V

A Revision Update:

Chapter 30 of The Saint of Santa Fe is ready. Chapter 31 contains many historical details. The challenge, then, has been to remove the “hiss” of history and make the narrative read as “story.” This is a time-consuming task, but I find it fun. The good thing, though, is that Chapters 32 & 33 are just about set. And from that point there will be “only” 17 chapters to go.

An Invitation to Revisit a Posting:

A few years ago, before I started working at Vasco Núñez de Balboa Academy, I was invited to speak before students about the writing process. After my talk, I discovered that I had neglected, unintentionally, what I would've considered the most important question of the day.

As a late response, the following day I sat down to write a piece that turned out to be my advice for young people who wish to become writers.

I invite you to read, or reread, “A Question Left Unanswered.”
