Well, I feel in the writing zone right now... I am really enjoying editing my work, reading it and adding or taking away bits... I am also writing more instead of procrastinating and without rewards at the moment which is good... I do believe that having a plan ahead of the writing game is key, I knew my main character well enough, but then I found a characterisation tool online that basically guided me through backgrounds, looks, personality etc for each character. Even though most of it doesn't go into the novel, it all helps to build a backstory and give extra dimensions to characters...
I noticed recently that my desk is littered with pieces of paper that say things like 'Rose: red curls, freckles, fair skinned' and 'maybe they don't know about the pit?????' and lots of other notes that I think of when I am cleaning, cooking, reading or just daydreaming that make me stop and write these thoughts down in case they slip away... Last night I had an idea and I didn't write it down, I naively believed that I would remember it when I woke up today... HOW WRONG WAS I????? I really do need to keep on top of thoughts and notes....
I am at a point in my life where I totally LOVE being a writer, and I feel like I am finally doing it... I am over the 20k mark and I never thought that would happen.. now the next milestone of 30k... I can't wait!
'I AM A WRITER!!!!'
