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.

A short break

Tomorrow I'm off to Australia for a couple of weeks. I expect it will be harder to post from there. I've set myself the task of completing Chapter 5 while I am there. This is going to be quite a difficult one with lots of exposition that I shall have to try and fit in in an interesting way. We shall discover more about Vivie and Gwendolyn and about the purpose of the Kensington Gore Croquet Club. More importantly we shall finally get to Ludens and Vivie's involvement in his release. I am well aware that I'm a long way into the story and my star turn is yet to make an appearance.

I have just been watching Johnny Depp in the Ninth Gate - a sort of occult horror. I'm amazed by the liberties that this and other films of its kind take with the audience. Characters have to behave peculiarly to help the plot along. I want to try to avoid this if I can.

I am determined to return to this blog even if I am only talking to myself and I hope to report on a satisfactory Chapter 5.
