I began writing “Luna” in July as a vessel for discussing the impact of climate change on our region here in the southwest. My beautiful grandchildren, and their fates, provided the impetus.
Last Sunday’s episode, chapter 13, was the end of the first act, with more to follow beginning in November after a break. Much like a television series beginning its second season of episodes.
Once the 40-episode tale is completed I plan to attempt to market it. We’ll see. No matter the outcome it’s been a pleasure writing long form.
I am taking a break from writing the story to devote some time to formulating and researching the saga of her journey north with her grandfather and Rin, the book’s harrowing second and third acts.
This election season has sapped my attention from Luna. I expect to publish Episode 14 in November, picking up where the story ended, at the beginning of their journey north in the year 2124.
I hope you have enjoyed it up to this point. I want to thank my many subscribers who have offered editing suggestions. I count myself lucky to have you on my side as I attempt a new art form.
And when the entire beast is done I look forward to doing some heavy editing, making corrections and enjoying the detailed rewriting process integrating many of your suggestions into the final story.
We can’t escape the heat that’s coming. This story has haunted me for ten thousand years.
Thank you, dear reader,
David
History inspires me. Here in Tucson, our regional history grabbed me years ago, thus I appreciate the fictional creation of a 'someone' like 'Luna' who can help more people understand the story of where they live. Hugs and sympathy coming your way on the massive 'editing' job ahead to condense your free spirit 'long form' writing. --- ASIDE: Hey, FITZ, It's a small world ... I just met Matt! Maybe he'll mention it.
I know we, your dedicated subscribers, and many many other free-loaders honor your break but look forward to Luna returning!
