Alright, so I can get quite carried away with some things and other things I can be absolutely useless at and forever dis-enthused by. This story that's started my 'From Shorts to Novels' blogs has been something that I was constantly excited about and so it got to the point where I thought "Look, you need to calm down, you need to slow down and quite frankly have a break" because for someone like me who has hand tremors excessive and long amounts of writing results in constant hand spasms. Funnily enough hand spasms take the fun out of writing. Instead of some heart-felt love message or bone-crushingly thrilling chase scene you get something along the lines of "and so, my darling petal, I cannot explain in any language on this planet how much I lov-£$%aksldn,ag vbvef nkllsdfgm bvcnmndkjd kfdjc djkhjfddjj" Thus forth the beauty of the scene is ruined. My hand tremors were pretty much everyday at this point and it wasn't going to be too long before I left Uni, so I thought I'd finished my exams, relax, read and get inspiration then go back to it. This gap was about 3 weeks or so and has made a huge difference, the problems and inconvenience the tremors brought with them made the process of writing more of a annoying task rather than the usual enjoyable, thrilling feeling. So here we are, once again talking about the novel I'm working on; Rediscovering Clarity and it's good to be back at it! and it's Summer here in England and although the country is normally synonymous with miserable weather there's plenty of sun, inspirational beauty and happiness about! Nothing more influential and uplifting than good weather and good atmospheres!
The story itself is going well, the break hasn't disrupted the voice or narrative at all it just helped me collect ideas and images in my head ready to put into words and descriptions. Practically the whole story is now completely mapped out in my head, and what's REALLY annoying is I really want to just write the end (not to finish it, oh no!) because I'm just excited to write it, it contains the largest amount of fantasy, sci-fieyness, beautiful locations (most of which are real places) and just the right amount of sentimentality!
