What’s new? I have started writing the second book of the “Salt of the Earth”. I have struggled with this one. I don’t like writing a second book in a series unless I have a story to tell. I know the beginning and the end of this one, but have fought with the why. Usually it comes to me as I write, but this one has really been a challenge to establish the why. I decided to just start writing and see where it leads. After five chapters and wrestling with the point two things occurred to me. #1 the why came to me so now I’m much more excited about the book. #2 the first 5 chapters have good points but just aren’t write so… tear them up and start again
