I am curious to see where it all leads but for now I am enjoying the ride. It is lovely to be writing what I want and not writing what others want.
Wherein I endeavour to share writerly advice lightened with humour, pictures and a dollop of 1930s-1940s history.

A Good Day
It may be gloomy outside but the sun is shining in my writing world. For the first time in a long while (too long, actually) I have had pictures springing into my mind so quickly that it's been hard to keep up. It's a lovely feeling. I can see the book enacted before my eyes and my job is to describe what I'm seeing as well as I can. Once again, the whole process amazes me. Things that I didn't know would happen are happening. Characters that I was sure would be nothing more than background are resolutely pushing themselves forward.

Love that feeling, especially when you can hardly keep up! Makes you wish you could bottle it, huh. I've been brought to tears by it sometimes because it's such a mysterious process to create something out of thin air, or so it seems.
