The simple answer...write something. It's really that simple. Put words on paper. I know if I don't like it, I can always change it. On the other hand, if I don't write something, I won't have anything to change.
In writing my current project, "Barely Home: Back to the Hills", I completely tossed the first two chapters and the last chapters. I'm convinced the replacement text is much better than the original, but, if it hadn't been for what I originally wrote, I would never have gotten to the rest of the story.

At the moment, I'm currently finishing the sequel to "Barely Retired" entitled "Barely Home: Back to the Hills". In this "risque mystery", Carter and Connie return to their roots, to Carter's childhood home in Southwestern Virginia, where they encounter a murdered family member, Carter's high school nemesis, and his ex-girlfriend, things are bound to get interesting.
I'm also working on a completely different type of novel, this one entitled "Riding America", about a man who, after his wife leaves him, embarks on a bicycle ride across the United States. It's an interesting storyline, and I'm anxious to see where it leads.
I'm also developing plans for the third book in the "Barely" series, "Barely Running". This book is just now entering the early development stage, so Carter and Connie fans, stay tuned.
Two more titles I have started working on ideas for are "The Women of the Dollar General Store of Fingerville, SC" and "Backwoods Burning". We'll see where these ideas lead.

The original idea for the book I am currently working on, "Barely Home: Back to the Hills", comes from my experiences of joining Facebook as I prepared to release "Barely Retired". For years I avoided Facebook like the plague, but I knew that marketing my first novel would require me having a presence on the platform. As I began to reaquaint with friends from high school, many of whom I had not heard from in thirty years, the idea of bringing Carter and Connie back home became intriging. After getting our heros back home, the story just fell into place.
