This is a continuation of my blogging here at WdC |
This will be a blog for my writing, maybe with (too much) personal thrown in. I am hoping it will be a little more interactive, with me answering questions, helping out and whatnot. If it falls this year (2024), then I may stop the whole blogging thing, but that's all a "wait and see" scenario. An index of topics can be found here: "Writing Blog No.2 Index" Feel free to comment and interact. |
NaNoWriMo #26 Day 26 Tuesday, my day at the library, and I knew I wasn’t going to get much story written, so I threw together a quick 970-odd word short story for the radio programme next month, a Christmas story about the meaning of Christmas in a secular society (no, I am not a believer, don’t @ me). So, had lunch with a potential client (still potential, but she paid), then hit my room and the writing bug hit. So, Joanne went through her grandma’s paperwork in the house she has now inherited and she discovers photos sent to her grandma from when Joanne was in the cult. The pictures are of the children, an she sees the girl from the hospital security camera – it’s her murdered cousin. She shows Luke and he recognises it as well. Ooh! Ghosts! Well… not quite. However, then things get rushed, as she is given just a week to decide if she is going to take Anne in or not, and so she goes to talk to Anne as not a counsellor or psychologist. Finally, she receives a letter from her mother’s lawyer. Building up the back-stiory and adding lots of hints as to what’s to come… While going through grandma’s paperwork in her house, which Joanne has inherited, she finds a photo of her dead cousin, which is the same face that appeared on the camera. She shows Luke. Then she is given very little time to decide if she wants to take Anne in, so she goes to meet Anne. She is also contacted by her mother’s lawyer, and is given a letter So, what else is going on while I write? Today, I watched AEW’s Full Gear PPV this afternoon, and it helped get me into a nice relaxed mood in order to churn out 5300 words. Yesterday, it was a lot of music (Roxette – The Remixes for those playing at home). I cannot write in silence because my mind wanders, but if there is something going on, then that wandering part of my brain can focus on something and the writering part is not drawn away by anything. Again, before people jump down my throat again – this works for me! And, again, it does work. People like my writing… including publishers. I am tired now, and am going to bed. I only have tomorrow morning and night to write, as I have meetings all afternoon, so let’s see how I go… Words today –974 (short story) and 5312 (demon story) Total words– 142029 |
