Working

The reluctant Jesus in Western Kansas is actually working quite well.
I can't say the end product will be as satisfying for the reader as it is to the writer ; but, the story feels damn good to write. It has substance and merit and allegory and illusion and all those things in school we learned constituted meaningful literary fiction.

I have no aspirations to literary fiction. I'm not Ernie. I'm not _Islands in the Stream_ good let alone _For Whom the Bell Tolls_ good. This story however feels damn good.

It feels like reading "A Clean Well Lighted Place" for the first time. The story feels right. Now if I can get my head out of my ass and continue to execute.
