I love being a writer; I love everything about it, but nearly half way through my non-writing year after beginning another novel, the fourth in my trilogy, and without so much as a by-your-leave, another idea for a completely new novel crops up and will not be silenced. I have to start it - just have to.
I tried, for the first time ever, a speed painting. I've never had the courage before because on Youtube they all look so good at it.
Well it's done and I know it's rubbish, but do you know what, I actually enjoyed it. Now if I can just wrestle those two new novels (in my supposed non-writing year) to one side I'll try another.
Actually, I quite like it. It's the kind of thing I could look at all day. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's very kind of you. Kinder than my wife who said it was rubbish.
DeleteLove the painting. And I know the feeling when a new novel demands to be written and won't stop bugging you. Go for it before you lose it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I knew as soon as the idea hit me that my year off had ended.

ReplyDeleteThe paining is certainly not rubbish, very atmospheric in fact. Now get on with writing that story, you know you want to.
Thanks. I've tidied it up a little now. The story has begun. I've just got to look up a synonym for disembowel.
