I am writing a book.
I showed my best friend the intro for the two main characters and she asked, "Is it meant to be funny? I don't get it".
This amused and confused me, but spurred me on to write more, in the same style.
I read it to S and he sat stunned, jaw dropped open and stated enthusiastically, "D, THAT'S FCKING BRILLIANT"!
There were mixed reviews at work - 3 very positive, 1 negative and 1 ambivalent.
The good thing is, that one of the positive reviews belongs to a gentleman who has already had a short story published and is an avid writer, currently waiting to hear back from a publishers about a novel he has just completed. He mentioned that he felt he needed to start writing something again, soooooo, I have suggested he write the narrative to my dialogue. We have come up with a nicely twisted plot and I have never written so consistently.
So, this is why I've not been blogging.
Christmas is only a few days away now. The tree is up and decorated. My son has started learning to read and my daughter has just stopped wearing nappies. It's a busy time all round!
I trust you are all in fine fettle?
;)
I checked, my fettle seems to be fine. You have been missed but I see it is all for a good cause. Wish you success in your writing, but don't forget us!
