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

The Ghost Tree by Christina Henry
"This is a very difficult book to review. It has great elements, but certain parts of it make me very uncomfortable. I’m hesitant to recommend it because certain problematic aspects are never called out.

"3 of 5 stars at The BiblioSanctum https://bibliosanctum.com/2020/10/26/...

I’ve long been a fan of Christina Henry, but The Ghost Tree was the first novel I’ve read from her that wasn’t a dark fairy tale retelling, and I was pretty excited to check it" Read more of this review »
Pam Baddeley and 16 other people liked Carla's review of The Ghost Tree:
The Ghost Tree by Christina Henry
"Everything about this felt very generic and predictable. Also, call me crazy but I'm sure the writer was trying to emulate Stephen King with the writing style in this one?
