It's Wednesday, so today I'm going to tell you about how I feel the writing process has gone overall for my new story "Short Term Relationship".
To be honest with you, this story has been the most enjoyable story I have ever written. I have enjoyed every second. It's taken a while, but then I always take a long time to write my stories because I am naturally a slow writer. I have no idea why but that's just the way it is. So yes, if I had to say one thing which I found difficult about writing this one, it would be finding the time to write it. Although it's a one part story and not a series, it's still relatively substantial, compared say to a part of one of my series, it's considerably longer. Oh, well there is one other thing which I did find tricky at times. When you do read the story, it will jump to your attention that the nature of the main character, and the way he speaks in particular is different to anything I have tried to write before. Sometimes it was difficult to translate my thoughts into his words, as he is the one talking to you when you read it, not me. I got stuck a few times with that trying to get the right wording and stuff, but only a few times.
Aside from those small details though, it has flowed beautifully right from my brain, down my arms, through my fingertips, into the keyboard and onto the screen of my laptop. I have never found a story easier to write. Hopefully that will show through when you read it! I think it's gone well, and I personally am very happy with the story itself, although it isn't quite finished yet so I suppose I could still mess it up at the end haha. I will try my best not to I promise!
As I mentioned before in my last post, I started writing it because of the scene I witnessed in a cafe by the beach back in the summer, which got my mind working and inspired me to write a story about it. However, I actually started working on it after I had already started on my other new story, my next big series which I will tell you more about at a later date ;). I had started writing the big one, when I realised that it is probably going to take me quite a while to get that finished (although I am still writing it and am now about half way through!). So I decided that I needed a short one off story to bridge the gap in time between my last series "I Don't Want The World I Want You!" and my next one. Whilst fishing around for an idea for a one off story, I suddenly remembered the scene in the cafe and bingo! I had my story.
So yes, to summarise, I feel the writing process has gone very smoothly indeed with only one or two very small reletively insignificant issues along the way. I am very happy with the story as it stands and I simply cannot wait to get it posted online! I'm so excited to hear what you all think of it! Stay tuned to the blog for much more info, and exciting announcements on "Short Term Relationship" throughout the rest of this week and the weekend!
