It's Friday, So Goes Ohio

Yesterday, I decided enough was enough of working on the futuristic "western" WIP involving corporate bounty hunters, a hijacked septic tanker, religious wingnuts, a speech-impaired travel agent, etc. Sent the sprawling bastard off to a beta-1st reader. Ooooh, the dreaded unzipping of the fly. Yeah, I expect a full beating in maybe two or three months when he comes up for air from whatever else is on his over-burdened plate. My mind is still ticking like an engine with ideas on how to fortify the tale, but sometimes you have to take a step back and let somebody else sniff out the bad cheese jammed under the hood. Besides, I need the break to work on a couple of shorts I've promised people. Tonight though it's time to unplug and see Virginia's own...Eddie From Ohio.
