Well, my thoughts of taking a break from fiction writing lasted all of two days. I've a book due to come out early next year, 2 full subs in to various publishers, and I thought it might be time for a bit of a break.
Cue the insistent character knocking at my brain with useful ideas, snatches of dialogue, and the hints of a plot. (Sigh).
Anyhoo, this hero (for of course, it is a him) is the brother of one of my subbed stories. He's masterful, grouchy, and a fireman.
And what wonderful surname did I give him? The same as his sister of course.
BYRNE. Can I really get away with writing a fireman called BURN????
I'm sticking him on the back-burner (the back-byrner?) and telling him to go away, but that's just making him more determined to be written....
Oh, the difficulties of stories!
LOL!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was just me who writes herself into crazy dilemmas. I love Byrne the fireman - go on write him, you know you want to!

I really do, Judy! Firemen are lovely, but of course you know all about that :)
