A Window in the Rain

I've been frustrated and bored lately with retooling the book I just finished. My main problem is taking what I have hand-written and physically typing it into the computer. This, on top of all the rewriting I am doing along the way, has driven me to another writing fit. So, I started a new book. I am not abandoning the last one, just trying to keep my creative juices flowing while slowly working the last book (The Tower Quail) into something smoother. So, I have begun to write somethng a little younger and more fantastical. It has elements of C. S. Lewis and other fantasy writer styles thrown in with a science fiction slant. I plan to work in the spiritual symbolism and general good vs. evil conflict that you see in Lewis' writings. But, I love the way Madeleine L'Engle uses spirituality, symbolism, and sci fi together so that feel will be present, to a degree. It all starts with a boy and his father on a rainy night. They get into a car accident and the boy awakes to find he is in the care of these peculiar beings. Then the story unfolds and we begin to learn what caused the car accident, who these people are, who the boy is, and for what purpose they have been brought together. This is just the beginning and I plan to make this a series of fantasy novels. It's been a dream of mine to write this sort of thing since I was a small child and I have finally figured out where the begin, where to go, and where to end. Should be an amazing journey!
