Unbecoming I got a care package from a fan, turned great friend, Jerry Swink. I wanted to let her know how much I appreciate her and everything she does. You’re a great friend and wonderful person. I look forward to another visit to Oklahoma, soon. I know you’re eagerly awaiting Unbecoming. I’ll try and deliver it soon. Still working on the plot finish and keeping my inspriation high with all you sent me. It will keep my frame of mind on Caroline and David. Until then, we’ll both have to settle for drooling over JAG discs and NCIS. David James Elliott, Mark Harmon, Muse Watson…enough said.

General Nothing blew up on me today, or over me. Although we did have a small fire in the kitchen that was extinguished before I arrived. The fans were turned on and smoke sent out into the world.
I had dinner with my parents tonight. It was nice, quiet. Then we went into a retail store in Georgia where a fan recognized me. I was grilled on the release date for Unbecoming. I still get a thrill every time a fan says something to me. We stood and discussed how much we missed seeing David James Elliott every week on JAG. I miss John M. Jackson, too. Season ten of JAG wasn’t the same without him. For now, I think I can make do seeing Mark Harmon, and the occasional guest appearance by Muse Watson, on NCIS.
While chewing on my entree I had thoughts swirling through my brain about the plot point I’m at right now in Unbecoming. I think I’ll write around it until I figure out exactly how to fill the gap.
More on that later when my brain figures out what I meant by that.

General A shout out to my friend, Michelle. Congrats on the popularity of your fiction. I look forward to reading it as well.
If you like Fan Fiction, tune in for more of her works. She is an avid fan of NCIS, just like me.

General I had a nice run tonight on the Greenway. Slow and reflective enough that I was thinking about David James Elliott. I have his face in my mind when I write the character of Captain David Reese in the Unwritten saga.
I could see him in my mind in a hangar, helping Caroline Blaine put an F-14 back together, like the pieces of a puzzle. This will figure in with Unbecoming. I’ve already got the scene in my head, now I just have to commit to typed word.
I’m also trying to work out another plot point that I’m stuck on. It involves Caroline and her Dad, Sonny Blaine. Most of you know that I see Mark Harmon in my head for him. Perhaps I should go catch some episodes of NCIS and JAG too for that matter.
Thanks for the emails this week with your opinions on the new blog. I hope to update it regularly. Facebook is just getting to be too much.
