Behind the Scenes

 
Currently Watching
Gone in 60 Seconds
By H.B. Halicki

Click here to see part four of the Whiskey in the South series.  It's called "Fawns in the Clearing."

When I sit down to write, it's different every time.  Parts two and three came out of me like a breeze, matching the tone of the first without much effort aside from a little pruning when the descriptions felt too strong.  I introduced ideas carefully, taking care not to state, but to drift through the experience, landing on the events that cycled throughout the whole week.

Part four was a different matter.  It was painful to write, and I found myself launching into blunt rants about eternity and spirituality.  I even breathed heavier, fighting to keep the anger out of the piece.  In the end, some made it in and some didn't.  I let it rest overnight, and revisited it this morning, making a few changes to help it fit in with the previous installments.

Writing is hard work.  My dream is to do it full-time, but the stamina required is staggering, not to mention the amount of effort required to sell the work.  Anyway, this is a start.  I didn't expect to finish this series, but I'm only two pieces away from the finale.

ian. i've been thinking a lot about you as life has been pressing on, up, and over each hurdle (i'll e-mail you and explain explicitely), and i've reached the conclusion that you inspire me. i love the way you feel so intensely, pouring over every thought and word, experience and relationship.

it's as if you're a selfless paramour and your mistress is the intensity of life that you try so desperately to share.

i miss and love you, dear friend.
