Hello my favourite people, and I hope life is good with every one of you.
As I’ve said in my news before, I keep several Work in Progress on the go so that I can write parts of them when the notion takes me. I know I’ve also mentioned that I occasionally think of an idea, and feel the urge to move that story to the front of the queue. This is the case with the tale I’ve been working on for a few weeks.
The inspiration for It started in the woods came to me when, strangely, I was walking in the woods. I regularly stroll in local woodland to let the daily grind fade. Yes, there is more than one type of grind. Anyway, I was walking along the path and saw a man up ahead squeezing through the undergrowth and disappearing among the trees. By the time I’d returned home, I had the intro and general theme of the new story established in my mind.
With some stories, the words simply flow, which feels wonderful, and this is one such tale. I’m enjoying the characters and their antics, but I’m in no rush. However much an author is enjoying the writing of a story, it should never adversely affect the finished article. I’ll take my time, and it won’t be published until it’s ready, but I think it will be something I’ll stick with until the job is done. I will, of course, leave it aside for a few days at a time between edits, and I’m aiming to publish this one in mid-November.
Until next time, thank you for being there, and remember, if you ever want to leave a comment, you can use the box, or the Contact page. I will respond if you’d like me to, and anything we say will, of course, remain between us.
Katya xx
