Thanks for asking, Kaye.
The answer is - all over the place - one novel came from a dream, for example. Often, I have an idea about a character in a situation/scene and then have to write some pages to find out where it is going. Sometimes with short stories, I've entered a themed competition and found it a useful exercise to just daydream about the theme and try different thought experiments - and then something will gell. Or I get the beginning of something and have to start writing before things click into place. I may end up junking what I initially wrote, but by then I'm on the right track to continue. I'm quite instinctive with writing, and am a great believer in the power of the subconscious to come up with ideas and to resolve plot conundrums.(less)

Thoughts on November Writing Part One

Pumpkins

These pumpkins are a little late, but I didn’t quite manage to hit the Hallowe’en deadline for this update. [Image: Depositphotos, standard licence]

November has rolled around again and usually I would be doing NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) which I first did in 2012 and apart from that year had ‘won’ ever since, either completing at least 50,000 words or, when being a ‘rebel’ and editing

Rebecca's Tale by Sally Beauman
"When I was very young, I thought Rebecca, like Cousin Rachel, were incredibly romantic novels. Many years later, they turn out to be much less romantic and much more creepy and interesting. Rebecca doesn’t strike me as particularly good or particular" Read more of this review »

"Rebecca was one of my all time favourite books. So when I found out that an author I liked had decided to write a "sequel" to Rebecca, I just knew that I had to get my hands on it.

Rebecca's Tale by Sally Beauman
""There is only one true legitimacy, and it's bestowed by love, not male lineage." - Sally Beauman, Rebecca's Tale, page 411
