"Short Term Relationship" - Cover Art.

So I mentioned breifly before that my new story "Short Term Relationship" will have it's own cover art. This is a first for me, so I hope you like it. I feel that it just adds to the story and it helps to give it character and make it more individual. So anyway, this is the cover art for my new story :) :

"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!

New Story Info!


Ok, I know you’ve all waited a long time for this since the launch of my last new story “I Don’t Want The World, I Want You!”, but the time has finally come for me to officially announce that there will be a brand spanking new Web Cam story launched over the coming weeks! Exciting isn’t it? You may have seen my recent post about the plan for what is going to happen this week. If you have not read it yet, you can see it on my blog homepage, just below this blog post. So as you can see on the plan, the purpose of today’s blog post is to give you all some basic background information on the new story.

So, first thing’s first, the name! I can officially tell you that the name of my next new story will be “Short Term Relationship”. Now, what’s it about I hear you ask? Well, it’s about a short term relationship hahaha! The clue is in the title. It is written in the first person perspective as if the main character, who mysteriously has no name, is talking directly to you- the reader. Now obviously I don’t want to give away too much of the actual storyline, so I can’t go into too much detail on the actual story itself. I will tell you though that what this mystery man does tell you, will keep you interested and entertained from start to finish, and with any luck, he may even turn you on a little! ;)

What inspired me to write this story? Well I visited a beach earlier this year when it was hot and sunny, I think it was sometime in early August, or possibly even at the end of July. While I was there I was at a cafĂ© having a bite to eat when I noticed two young men looking at each other across the room from their separate tables. They seemed to just keep looking at each other for a while until eventually one of them stood up and went and sat down at the other guy’s table. Between eating my fish and chips I occasionally looked over at them because I was curious as to what was going on between them. They clearly were getting along well with one another. Before I had a chance to finish my meal they got up and left together, still talking and smiling with each other. I couldn’t help but think about them for the rest of that day, wondering what they might have gotten up to after they had left. So I decided to use my imagination and make it up, so I started writing a story about it. And a few months later, here we are! :)

So anyway, now you know a little bit about it, and I hope I have caught your interest with this brief introduction to “Short Term Relationship”. If you’re interested in finding out more about it, then stay tuned throughout the rest of this week where I will be telling you all much more about it, as you can see on the week plan which I mentioned earlier.
