A person I thought I’d merely mention in an early chapter as background ended up being one of the most important people to my main and the entire subplot was about them

*laptop is not connected to the internet so I don’t lose The Sims 2 which I will if I do the next update (has not been connected to my wifi for many years bc the sims is the only other thing I use my MacBook for lol)

That was your first mistake - making plans that didn’t involve being bitten by a snake 🐍
Hope all is ok though

My upcoming book (when I finally finish B1) came about because I mentioned that 2 Aussie actors I liked looked like they could be brothers and then it snowballed into an idea I’m really excited about. I find it helps with making the characters realistic if I have a frame to hang their personality on

I’m writing stories that could star actors i find sexy so that if they ever become tv shows I’ll get to meet them haha (not like Tom Hardy level, more local Australian talent)

I’m not really a fan of chocolate. I love coffee flavoured stuff, just not hot in my tummy haha

I usually have a glass of what we call iced coffee in australia but is basically just coffee flavoured milkshake most days but I’m not a coffee-fiend or purist like others are.

Oh no! I don’t drink any hot beverages.

We never stayed, it was a once a year thing driving down on a coach from East Lothian. I even made my now ex-H (Australian)go there with me so I could show him when we still lived over there.

Yeah this shocked me too. We used to go on field trips to Hadrians Wall and always looked for this tree. Robin Hood was on tv a couple of yrs ago and I showed my daughter the scene and told her I’d been there

Thanks. I’ve just added another 2k but they were a tough 2k. It’s getting to the really sad bits of my book so I’m spending a lot of time writing through my tears lol

My life before my ex-H cheated on me was mundane. My thoughts in the year between me finding out & beginning B1 were filled with horrible reminders of what he put me & my daughter thru. My solo thoughts since have mainly been B1 & now B2 as well so my writing has made my brain a safe space again 🧠

And the story came to life when I thought about them (and a location I’d never considered before but lends itself well to the vibe)
