LUNATICS: another draft

Wernher von Braun, the principal "lunatic" in my novel.

Working on yet another draft on Lunatics, this time with these particular commandments in mind:

·  Show, don’t tell.

·  Get to the action right away. Explain later.

·  Remove as many adjectives and adverbs as possible.

·  Start scenes later and end them earlier.

·  Raise the stakes.  Every scene should be about Death (physical, professional or psychological.)

• And finally, most ominous of all, the Grand Commandment
  

 of the Holy Editor in the Sky:

                                   KILL YOUR DARLINGS!

That is, get rid of everything that is probably only of interest to you, the writer.

                                   DON’T BE BORING!!!
