Ok, finally all through the Part 2 stories for #GreenhouseMuseum
Felt a little behind there, but thankfully the words wanted to flow today. Guess sometimes you just need the space from a project to get the ball rolling on it again. Next step is to edit everything. Really think these will hit some emotional nerves for everyone

📖 New #Story
The next part in the #GreenhouseMuseum series: Connector 🤝 Meet Jake, the oldest of the boys. There are a lot of things he wants to say but can't. Fair warning: he uses a lot of #cannabis to cope.

Planning?

Some. More than rough but less than complete. On any given topic: plot, character, world.
For #FarNorth, back in 2010, I really *thought* I had a good grasp of the characters. Now, it sometimes feels like I'm discovering the characters in the writing. Same with the world.
With #GreenhouseMuseum it's definitely planned out now. Four characters with interconnecting stories, it's an exercise in timing for me. 😅It didn't start out that way: it was initially a character-driven short story I wrote about a dress I saw online. That story is now the end of the series. It's been both fun and sometimes challenging to write.

📖SHORT STORY
The very beginning of the #GreenhouseMuseum series is now live!
Paolo has a big idea to give back to the community he grew up in. Tired of seeing the eyesore that is the old abandoned strip mall, he has a plan to turn it into a conservatory and community garden. First though, he needs to find investors, and that's when Santi enters the picture.
Come take a peek into the various lives and troubles of the boys trying to make Paolo's dream come true. Originator - Pt 1 is out now!

#GreenhouseMuseum update
The first part is edited and ready to go live next month!!! 🎉🎊🎉
I'm working on editing the rest of the first four parts and will be releasing them on a monthly basis. The first four are free, but the other eight will be behind a (low) content wall. Don't worry, I've included a $1 level tier so that you can have access to all of them for cheap. Once they're all out, I'll compile them into a digital chapbook for pay-what-you-can. 🙏 Thank you for being patient and I hope you're looking forward to more!

Felt like I've been scrambling to get work done in between storms all day 😮‍💨
Still, managed to start Paolo's first story for #GreenhouseMuseum and record for #TopicTuesdays! Need to find some background music and effects for it, but think this episode is a solid start. It's been a long time since I played around in Audacity and it's all slowly coming back to me

#GreenhouseMuseum is now 12 parts long! And finally organized into a (hopefully) cohesive story. It's nice that at least three of the parts have already been written, with hopefully minor edits needed to keep them in the flow of things.
So funny how a random prompt can turn into a multi-part story 😂

Most of the way through outlining the #GreenhouseMuseum series! 🥳🎉
These boys are such trouble too. And all of their conflicts are in their relationships, except for Charlie. 😅 Lots of fights and unhealthy bursts of confessions. Mostly I just hope I can show ways the boys can peacefully resolve things, even when the damage has already been done.
