So, the first five pages of my book are done, at least in draft fashion. Now, it gets tricky. I have a protaganist, who I want to give a voice too. Originally, I wrote his part the same as I wrote the first part of my novel, AFTER I had started! Don't know why I did that, clearly my brain is on some kind of feed back loop in this regard. Its only after I start, that I go, "hey, there's something else I want to put here, first!"
At least I seem to be actually getting into some kind of regular swing with 'making' myself write something everyday. Except for weekends. Because anyone with young children, will know that just when you think you have gotten them occupied with pestering their father in the garden, or set up with their barbie dolls and my pony's in their rooms. You sneek into 'your' room, quietly close the door..... hands are racing across the keyboard, almost in time with the thoughts zinning through the brain, when a little voice will go,"Muuum! I'm bored." Go away! your inner muse screams, I've got myself on a roll here, after much dilly dallying around. But you turn and say of course, "oh darling. poor you, what would you like me to do?"
well that's what you say, if your me and have only one child and no family within cooee and all the school friends seem to be constrained by parents reluctant to venture from the safety of 'town' out to the rural blocks. So back to square one!!
New rule for self. Writing to be done, Monday to Friday and if I can 'force' myself to do extra pages, to account for the two days, I 'have' to have away from the writing device....then I will at myself on the back for the superhero mother, writer woman I am!! Up Up and away.........
