I'm Writing Again!

I have been inspired!

It isn't happening as often as I'd like because I am completely swamped with work. Behold, my to do list! (It's written on an unused page in a diary.) And that is just for one week! Except where it says two weeks.

So, as you can see, writing is taking a little time to actually get going.

I was inspired to start writing again, despite all the work I have to do. I'm going to try to write before I head to bed for at least half an hour. Then at least I'm doing something until I get to the school holidays where I can
commit a bit more of my time.

This will be my third uncompleted work in progress. I have my story about the two teenagers who get split up in space and the story about the girl who discovers she has magic.

There is so much out there to inspire. I am so excited about this new WIP. I think I've been worrying about what people would like to read rather than thinking about a fun story I'd like to tell.

This new WIP is going to all be about the fun. I've got two polar
opposite characters to play off each other and a fun, 'anything could happen' story.

I think part of me is basing the characters on my husband and myself, but as teenagers. Although, I don't think I'm actually going to mention their chronological ages but instead give a clue of their age by what they do, how they look and how they think.

I'm hoping the fun in this story is what will keep me writing and keep me working on this book. I don't want to give up again, with the doubt that all
writers get (will anyone enjoy reading this) and without work swamping my time.

I hope that I will return to my other WIPs. I'm particularly interested in the one that follows three main plots: the two teenagers and a researcher flash back plot.

I also have completed novels that require my attention and a huge edit.

So, that's my update! I am writing again! And I am going to write purely for fun.
