"Short Term Relationship" - The Writing Process.

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!

Plan For Next Week - Exciting Stuff!

Hi again everybody, here I am at home on my laptop, it's early in the morning and I'm having a little think about the week ahead and what I have planned. I have a feeling it's going to be an exciting week in the world of Web Cam because one of the main stories which I have been working on recently is almost finished, hooray! Although there are not too many readers using the blog yet, it is at least set up and ready to go. So, I thought I'd put it to use right away, and give you guys and girls a chance to see how I plan to use it in the future. So basically what I'm going to do here is write up a provisional schedule type plan for the next 7 days, and tell you what I plan to do on each day. Please remember that it is only a plan so any part of it may change at any time, maybe because of a delay or something, you know how these things go :). So anyway, here goes:

• Monday 7th - *Tell you all a little bit about the story, what it's called, what it's about, why I wrote it, who are the characters etc.
• Tuesday 8th - *Blog promotion. *Continue writing of the story itself (not on the blog ;p).
• Wednesday 9th - *Report on how I feel the writing of the story has gone overall, what I found difficult about writing it, what I thought went well with it...
• Thursday 10th - *Break day - even us writers need a rest you know haha. ;)
• Friday 11th - *Post the story cover art. (New!), this story will have a front cover like you would find on a real book with a title, an image etc. *Blog and story promotion. *More story writing.
• Saturday 12th - *Announce the date by which I plan to have the story completely finished, checked, edited and submitted to be posted online! *Announce where you will be able to read it first.
• Sunday 13th - *Post a preview/taster of the new story right here on the blog. Exciting! 

So there we have it! That's my plan for the week. Remember, the more people who show an interest in the blog, the easier and more worthwhile it is for me to keep telling you about my work, so anything you can do to spread the word about the blog is greatly appreciated! Tell your friends about it, sign up, subscribe, comment on the blog posts, the stories, internet forums and make as much noise as you possibly can :). It all really does help alot and I'd be very grateful indeed! So anyway, we have an exciting week ahead of us, so I'd better get cracking with my preparation. Thank you very much for reading, thank you for your interest and your support and I'll speak to you soon. I'll look forward to hearing from you!
