Light bulb....

This story has been rattling around in my head from the moment my brother presented me with the drawing. I knew what I wanted to do with the story but not how to get there. I started writing anyway. We writing people are like that. For us, writing blindly will usually lead to an epiphany. The characters will let you know if you've stepped in poop or are on the right path.

Real life intervened and threw monkey wrenches the size of mountains in my way, and I was about to give up on this thankless passion. But... a discussion at my seasonal, temporary job with a very interesting co-worker fanned the dying embers of this tale. I came home and wrote three pages which may not seem like much, but set the story in the right direction.

I'm not sure how long it will take, but the Mage is forming up to be what I had hoped. Stay tuned.
