Story Fourteen and Other Stuff

DAY FOURTEEN…

And story fourteen on the April challenge. I missed doing a cover today for the story from yesterday, so will try to do two today.

Tonight I was tired, so took a long nap and watched a bunch of television. By the time I got to the writing computer, it was 3 a.m.

Saw a half-title on my title sheets and just went with the half title. “Always a Way” and then put A Marble Grant Story under it.

So third Marble Grant story. She was a superhero in the Poker Boy universe, a friend of Poker Boy’s girlfriend, Patty. She got killed and became a ghost agent in the Ghost of a Chance world. But she is different. A ghost agent and a superhero. So a new spin-off of both series. I like her a lot.

So I managed 1,300 words before 4 a.m.

Took a break with some cereal, then another 1,200 words by 5 a.m.

Another short break, then finished it at 4,000 words by a little after 6 a.m.
