This post is borrowed from the Only Writing blog - the one no one reads.
Well - I have been researching, and reading and getting involved in someone else's project, and generally being dissipated in the last two weeks - no submissions, no writing, no "progress" and I have felt thoroughly at a lose end... I know I am happiest when I'm writing... and so, although I didn't intend to think about writing "The Malice of Fairies" for a while, I was at a thoroughly loose end this afternoon - and as a result, thought I might just try a scene - so now I have 2,500 words - which might be the beginning of the book. Writing is an excellent cure for boredom, although it has the negative effect of sometimes making other things seem boring.
I like the words I am pleased, starting GATD was a slow business, and no reason why this shouldn't take a while to get going either...Actually, damn it - I am really excited and happy and feel like proclaiming it to the
world....
I am also pleased that I am not repeating the mistakes of other books (writers):if at first you don't succeed, try again with something similar... I suppose my heroine Deidre is like Anastasia a bit - not as nasty though - differently neurotic!
Very happy making - and I don't HAVE to do it, since I have the other prospect to console me - but I am not discussing that here until I know for sure.
