Disneyland First Day

So I said I wouldn't post anymore this week, but I have a moment right now so I think I will. It's after midnight, so this will be a Wednesday post, which is okay. The first day at Disneyland was great, and right now we're all back in the Disneyland Hotel winding down. My two sons are busy playing their video games or whatever kids do on iPods these days. No, I don't have an iPod, so I really don't know much about them. Heck, I'm still getting used to this laptop that I rarely use.

You see, I'm a desktop computer type person. But I brought this laptop down to LA just in case I had a moment to turn it on, and here I am. And even though it was all about the family and Disneyland today, I could't help but wonder how I might write a Trent Smith story that takes place in Disneyland. I think that would not be wise. And that's because Disneyland is a kid's place. And KILLER OF KILLERS is NOT a kid's book. It's not a kid's story. Not by a long shot.

So I concluded that the two cannot be mixed. But the fact remains that I am still in the process of thinking about the third installment of the Trent Smith adventure. I think trilogies are the in thing, what with LOR and HG and the two Star Wars trilogies and the list goes on.

So as readers of this blog may know, KILLER OF KILLERS is the first episode and KILLER EYES is the second. The thing is, I wrote the conclusion to KILLER EYES so that it could be the final ending to Trent Smith's story. But that's not written in stone, as they say. In fact, it's not even written on paper yet. It's still just a file in a computer. I guess that would be a virtual file. But it means I can change that ending or use that ending for an ending to the third story if I write one. We'll see. And if I do write a third Trent Smith story, it will have to be a real killer of a story. Like the first two. But can that be possible? That's how good they are. But if other authors can do it, so can I.

Well, that's it for now. Maybe I post tomorrow, but if not, I'll for sure be back on Monday.
