I find that when I am writing loads of other ideas arrive banging on my door. I have at least three other projects on the go but need to focus on one at a time.
It is three and a half months until I start the OU course 'Start Writing Fiction'. I want to follow it up with the Creative Writing Courses and the Writing for Children and that isn't something I know much about.
I have earnt a day off work due to overtime I worked last week. The plan is to do my ironing and put clothes away and settle down for the daily battle with my writing.
Of late I have found that it takes me a while to get into it but when I do it comes and provides me with such a high, beyond chemical intervention (Disclaimer: I would imagine, having had no experience of this first hand.)
It is strange that I have a general knowledge of where I want my book to go but when I start writing I assess a whole different part of my brain which takes me somewhere completely difference and a whole fictional world is revealed to me as if I am just writing a commentary of what is going on.
I have a worry about my book. It is the sort of book I would love to read but don't see very often but it is very niche and I wouldn't imagine has very popular appeal but then perhaps I am underestimating the world.
I am trying to get two stories going which are loosely connected but with an over all theme. I feel it will give the reader space to digest each character.
I must get on or I will waste my day in avoidance!
