A weeklong struggle to come up with what self-published marketers call a "reader magnet" ended in a stalemate.

An RM is a freebie designed to get readers to sign up on your email list which hopefully will lead to some of them actually buying your books. I am not playing the game well.
Oh, I strapped up and went after the words alright. Got down a 5K kernel that turned out to be the many roomed ground floor of the next volume of Prophets Tango. No way any of it is throwaway. I just can't work like that.
What is going to happen is like the steel spine of one of the more formidable modern rollercoasters; beginning, the myriad middle twists and rolls, to the kind of end where the riders get off and toss back a cold one as they run to line up for another ride.
How it will happen? Story will run riot round that framework organically. I'm letting Life take my players through the paces of change as wild as Kudzu; growth, bloom, wither, die and be reborn.

ha! we used to wait until Christmas Eve to buy our tree (or just take one off an abandoned tree lot), then Santa got to decorate after the kiddos were in bed and asleep ... $5 a week before Christmas sounds pretty darn good compared to what we shelled out at the local big box this time around ... and yours is prettier to boot!
Looks like a great tree!!!!! And a Fantastic Price. Happy Christmas.
Can’t wait to read next installment!
