Last night was another crappy nights sleep but while I was not sleeping I discovered a story thread (in my mind) that I think I’m going to explore. Has a little to do with foreshadowing but not what anyone would expect. Anywho, I’m going to see how far it goes and what happens. This is definitely a “because I can” situation. I am, in fact, the only person who can do this. 🙂 🙂
That’s the joy of creating a new story with characters that belong to me.
Unlike people who cannot belong to another person. Characters can. And I have quite a list of characters that are 100% mine from inception to dust.
And I will not be giving anyone permission to use them in other works unless a good deal of money comes my way.
I think that’s fair.
I wonder if this “thread” that emerged in the dark of the night is going somewhere?
Apart from that, I am working on [Foxtrot Mike Lima] and it’s about 18K in now, so, making progress. Slow progress but still going in the right direction. It pleases me to make progress. I am having to limit how much typing and/or hand writing I do at once. At the moment I’m breaking it into 1k chunks with about two hours between. A bit annoying but better than nothing.
Last night I wanted something to read and I really could not face the book I’d started the other night. It’s annoying me. So many books do! Anywho, I flicked through reading material on my Kindle and ended up with Eraserbyte! Yes, I am reading my own book. The thing is, I haven’t read this book since it was published in 2015 by Rebel ePublishers. And I’m enjoying it. I’m seeing things I’d forgotten and entire scenes that I can’t recall at all. How fun is that? FYI, it’s a fucking good story.
Today was Pain Clinic day. Pretty interesting stuff really. No doubt I’ll be learning things I can use for a character or two. Everything is an opportunity to gather info if you’re a writer.
For your listening pleasure, here’s an album I love:
I love it when I get the thread of a story, Cat; it can be a lot of fun exploring it and seeing where it may go. And I know what you mean about writing going slowly; I’m in the same situation at the moment, but that’s how it is with some writing…
True, it is how it is with some writing!
Despite how much we want it to move along. 🙂
