Fantasy Author; sometimes it's easier to create a world, than live in this one.
I've worked in theatre for the past 22 years in various roles, using that experience to set my fantasy novel in a theatre.

I wrote 64 words, then thought 'yeah, time for a break'...now I'm doom scrolling, and know if I don't pull myself free I'll fall into a rabbit hole to the centre of the earth and spend the day thinking 'those 64 words had better be good'.
Anyway, morning #5amwritersclub

I'm genuinely intrigued to find out what happens in my WIP3... It's the second draft, so you'd think I'd know.
But, no. Not a clue. It's fascinating how I can tell myself a story and be surprised at every turn.

In training at work, it's quite important so I'm definitely not working out the family tree of my WIP's royal family.

Note to self: it helps if you write the words down, scrolling through YouTube won't get the book written.

I had a genius idea. I finally knew how to move forward and then I woke up with a scratchy throat and cold. All I want to do is sleep, just as I finally know what to write.

How are we supposed to sit with art? I just saw Wendy and Peter at the Barbican and I want to think about the depth of feeling I just experienced (yes, ok, I had some wine). Instead I have to travel across London and get a bus replacement service home.

I've made a mistake: I looked back at my 2nd draft before I was finished, and now all I can think of are the changes I need to make.
In other news, I'm on my way to London with the sun rising over Stratford upon Avon, lush.

I do love the turning of the year, spring and autumn are always so magical, every day looks different. Funny how we tune into this with books; I'm hungry for A Discovery of Witches, as I often am at this time of year.

I'm forcing myself to read this book for the last time before going on submission. It's hard. I don't reread books and this must be the 80th time I'm reading the damn thing. It's good, don't get me wrong.
Though I would say that; I wrote it.

I'm going to start a thread (my first) to share songs I love to write with; mostly to stop the constant spam of recs I send friends.
Take a look if you're writing fantasy with a dark, and slightly sassy side.

#5amwritersclub I am here! I have a great scene that I'm typing up from a handwritten draft and it's moving the story along. What more can I ask for?
Coffee? I have that too!
*Sing it like Aerial* I've got everything.
