I am really enjoying trying out a new genre of writing, and working out my list of possible killers. I have my victim nicely set up, and the location and group of people involved all in hand – now it’s just putting some character profiles together and moving on to the more in-depth storyline. There are plenty of motives and plenty of possible killers. I know who it is and it most definitely isn’t the butler 🙂
There’s something really energising about doing something I know isn’t my strength – it’s as though I have taken the power back into my writing. That is such a great feeling after floundering since the wedding. I will say, thought, that I have learnt a lot from planning a big day and some of the little details I picked up in the process will definitely make it into stories in the future.
For now, I’ll say I am progressing, and that’s something I haven’t really been able to say for quite a while. Roll on the next step in my crime thriller!
Other than the writing, I have been in rehearsals for my panto, joined a ballroom classing group and started a new course (introductory paleobiology…) – I was so busy with wedding planning last year that a lot of other things went by the wayside and this year I want to do more. This does mean I need to keep control of my writing time and targets so here and now I will set a target of no less than 1 hour on writing each day.
It’s not a huge amount but keeps me in the regular writing habit, and that’s a big plus!
I am going to leave it there for tonight, but I will be back on Tuesday with the reading challenge, and hope to get back into peace posts this week too, so I’ll see you then!
Happy writing,
EJ
