I've been writing since I could first hold a pencil, and by all accounts I didn't limit myself to paper. Walls, tablecloths and the occasional sibling were all fair game, and it shouldn't be surprising to learn that markers were banned in my home with all due haste. Although I now content myself with inconveniencing electrons, the desire to bring the stories in my mind to life hasn't waned.

In my spare time, I read, putter in the kitchen, and relax on my terrace, weather permitting, with my corgi who strives to be part muse, part food disposal. I'm also addicted to coffee and have a close relationship with my Keurig.

How do you deal with writer’s block?

It can start as innocently as deciding that instead of writing the day's word count, maybe a little research is in order. After all, even if this is a fantasy world, I want some things to make sense, or to resemble another time and cultural environment. While the research can be fun, leading to all sorts of tidbits that will eventually enrich the story, even if I don't use them, at the end of the day, I've lost ground.

I tend to have a couple of projects going at once. If I stall on one, or see myself heading into the mists of research, then I know that I'll have to produce that daily word count by working on Project Number Two. It's not a perfect system, because I have days when nothing I'm working on inspires me to write, so my next solution is to blog, or to even work on a fan fiction. You'd be amazed how closing someone else's plot holes can help you past your own block. Or I write a letter, or catch up on my reading.

And if none of that works, I take the puppy for a Very Long Walk. I'm the kind of person who will talk to people, and having an adorable six-month old corgi at my side opens up all sorts of conversational doors. You never know what's going to happen when you talk to someone. They might recount an experience, or mention something that triggers an association in your brain, and the next thing you know, you're itching to get back to the keyboard.

The only thing I don't do is give up. (less)

I recently read the first 2 Ghost's Sight books and wondered when the next will be released. Also, what other stories are you working on?

Morwen Navarre Hi, Andrea!

I don't have a release date on the next Ghost's Sight book, although I do have it outlined. I expect to have a draft by the end of this year, and revisions to my publisher early next year. What I've found with these characters, more so than some that have been the subjects of short fiction, is how much potential they have to change what I've plotted out. I'll be mid-scene, and realize no, Ghost would never say that, or no, Gerry doesn't react like that at all. When the characters speak that clearly to me, I know I'm onto something.

I'm also working on a historical novel, set in a group of mythical kingdoms in a world that resembles Wales in the 4th Century CE, at the end of the period of Roman occupation. I think researching this book has been as much fun as writing it, and if I work hard, I should have the revisions finished by the end of the summer.

The other project on my desk at the moment is not a male/male romance, although there is a romantic attachment forming between two male characters. The main pairing isn't really a romance, either, but we'll see where this one takes me.

None of this includes either the short fiction I write in between chapters, to clear my head, or the outline for this year's NaNoWriMo project. It's a good thing I like coffee!

Thank you for reading my Ghost's Sight books, and I hope you'll enjoy the next one as well.

All the best,
Morwen(less)

Quotes by Morwen Navarre (?)

“You're the one that I saw. The moon shone, and the Sea sent his dreams, and all of them were you.”
― Morwen Navarre, Ghost's Sight

0 likes

“Gerry reached up to smooth a bit of that snowy mane. The strands slipped through his fingers like silk to reveal a witch's mark, a spiral of olive-green stones that seemed to be a part of Ghost’s very forehead, shining against the translucent skin. Gerry had seen such marks before, peculiar glyphs burned into a witch's skin in vibrant jewel-tone inks to offer protection or enhance their power, or so the witches claimed. This was the first time he had seen actual jewels used, though. He thought it was beautiful, exotic like all of Ghost, with that white hair and those ice blue eyes. Gerry returned to admiring the peaceful face resting on his shoulder.”

“You're the first male witch in generations. You count for something. Your presence will be recorded by the witchsisters. Even though some of them hate you and would love to feed you to a lair full of hungry sind." Gerry's eyes held humor. "There are far more who'll make sure everyone remembers how the Witch taught Ghost, a witch and a seer, and a man of honor. I hope they mention your beautiful spiral. Those stones which glow when you're working your magic, but which never shine brighter than your eyes.”

Morwen’s Quotes

“My brother has his sword, King Robert has his warhammer and I have my mind...and a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone if it is to keep its edge. That's why I read so much Jon Snow.”

“Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.”
