It's been a funny sort of year, though I am aware that I say that each and every year and some point or another. This one though feels different. The writing process has sped up in the last couple of months with issues in the first quarter of the year causing it to slow for a while. It feels like the whole world has taken shape and my characters are people with souls, a feeling that surely only a writer can have when it comes to writing life on to a page.
I have been writing a lot of reviews for my Cinephiliacs movie blog which helps me keep my brain fresh and gives me an alternative source of writing choice at the same time. A pleasure. Silversoil though, a story I feel offers something truly different to the vast world of fiction, is something that I am proud of. With tens of thousands of words penned, and the same amount deleted at this point, I feel as if I am crafting something that someone, somewhere will truly love.
This year though has been difficult, on a personal level, as well as on every other level there is. Still, there are good things always going on, so that is something to not only smile about but find an incredible joy in. The bad stuff can kiss my pen holding hand and my seat filling arse.
So yeah, another random blog post that means nothing other than a short update on me, my work and what's going on. I have also added another writing example to this site for people to read.
Happy Mid-2014! I hope the rest of the year brings you happiness in a gift basket of sunshine. Or something.
