Trying to Focus on a wet Thursday in Feb...

OK time to focus - no not go and drive a Focus - focus on books! But what to do first...?

Create a book - I'm busy painting characters for my next book, and they're coming along very nicely. They're still just hanging around deciding what to do though...

Sell a book well hopefully you can help me with that - go on, buy a book... you know you want to! I'll even sign it for you - it'll be just like meeting at a book signing... except that we won't meet, and we won't have to go out in the cold - well, I will, obviously, I'll need to post the book. But I don't mind, honestly!

Get Lost in a Book - I could very easily go and light the fire early and curl up with a book that someone else has written - all the work is already done, all I'd have to do is to start reading, and allow myself to slip into the imaginary world that's already been created... hmmm sounds good... but no, I shall go and create something new!

Is it just me...? I don't want to fit my writing between the lines...

Is it just me...

I quite often like to go back to basics and write with a pen, in a notebook. And given the choice I would rather have a notebook with plain paper - I don't like the idea of someone telling where to write on the page - isn't it enough that writing on a computer screen is in straight lines, with every possible error pointed out with coloured squiggly lines...?

It's quite therapeutic to have a blank page to do as I please - I might want to doodle a picture while I'm writing, and I might want to choose what size my writing is going to be - not have to force it to fit between predesignated lines...

I might even want to write in a wavy line - I haven't done up to now, but now that the thought has struck me, I think I might give it a go...
