Just thought I'd better report on how I'm doing with the latest fanciful tale. I've just reached that point in the plot that is the mid-way climax. Yes, it's half time, the players have all been put through their paces, physically and emotionally, and it's time to introduce a slight pause in proceedings to allow them to get their breath back. Then I can all ramp up again for the big ending and put some of them through some real misery!
I'm 47,000 words in and I can honestly say that this is the most fun I've ever had writing. Usually, I get my kicks out of piecing the plot together. Putting it all down into words then feels like such a nause. It's like I've already seen the film in my head and now I have to tell someone exactly what happens. And that's when I get frustrated as I never feel I do that imaginary film justice. Reading back over what I've written I always think it's just complete tosh. This time, however, it feels very different. It's like the characters really are just channelling their story through me. Of course, next time I fire it up I'll probably be sat there staring at blank page!
Anyway, I can't wait to finish this one and for everyone to read it - I've certainly got such a buzz from writing it so far.
