Welcome

This blog is just to record my experience of writing a story. That is something I have wanted to do all my life. I guess it is now or never.

I am just doing it for fun. I do not really intend to publish it. Mind you, I shall give that a try if I ever get it finished :).

The blog is only intended for me to keep a diary of my thoughts and for some of my close friends, especially those at the Richmond Writers' Circle (bless them for their patience).

If you have found your way here by accident, comments are welcome - especially the kind ones.

If you are, like me, attempting to write your first novel, please share the ups and downs.

Prendick

The last few scenes I have written involve Edward Prendick, who was the narrator of HG Wells' Island of Doctor Moreau. Actually I think that David Thelwis who played the role in a film (left) looked pretty much right but I had Roger Allam (right)more in mind as I was writing. It was funny though when I re-read the last few lines of the book (which I had forgotten) how good a fit Well's Prendick was for the story I am writing.

It finishes
“I hope, or I could not live.” A line I shall definitely steal.

It seems to me that when your intuition is on the right track writing there are many happy fits.
