I can’t wait to introduce you to Jasper next spring. For now, I’ll give you a peek into the way he thinks. (Coming across this section during edits has encouraged me. It might feel like I don’t know how to write a whole darn book, but this reminds me I don’t have to have it all figured out straight away. I’m responsible for showing up and doing my daily work to the best of my ability.)
Since leaving home I’ve stowed away and tracked down Mel and climbed a mountain and traveled the Yukon on a flimsy raft, and tackled a whole pile of other things I ain’t never done before. Now ain’t the time to start believing I got to have things figured out before I try.
Now, back to work on the editing…
Love the excerpt! And I like the way Jasper thinks~ I’ll be digging into a revision in the coming weeks and need to remember his words…
He’s my Huck character! I hope you approve…and I hope his words give you courage as they have me.
Love love love.
