4/18/2020 – I will again begin posting the Hearthville Serial in May. Although it ends with a cliffhanger this will be the last Chapter of Book 5 and in May I will begin Book 6. With Book 6 I will be switching to present tense, instead of past tense. I realize some readers do not like present tense but in present tense I am more able to stay in visual mode and although I am prone to even more errors in that mode, I write faster. Also, in present tense my focus remains more on the story and it maintains my interest better than past tense. Even though I am not switching to script form, present tense is more similar to writing a script.
Excerpt:
Victor said, “It does not matter. So you are the one who brought us to Puto Viso? If not to have Belial cage us, then why?”
General Gorgan said, “There is a General I want freed from her cage. I know you are smart. I know all of you are capable. When the vortex opened, I had sudden brilliant idea. That is what I thought but now I know better. I am sorry. Let me get all of you back to earth before disaster falls.”
Victor looked at the fighting spaceships that had gathered above them. “Disaster has already fallen. Our only hope is to get to the caves.”
General Gorgan said, “They can’t see you. They can’t see my spaceship. Get in my spaceship and we will get out of here.”
Victor said, “I don’t trust you.”
General Gorgan said, “I am now working with the Legman on earth.”
“Just because he has trust in you does not mean that I should.”
