So, at the moment I’m writing something very different for me. It’s still a young adult book but it’s one from a boy’s perspective. Now that in itself isn’t a problem, I have three brothers and one son (with lots of friends) so I’m happy enough in a boys psyche.
Also, the book is edgy. As in when I first told one of my CPs about it she had a huge ewwwww moment…. but thankfully she’s over it now! This too isn’t a problem, because even though I can’t watch anything with blood in it (this doesn’t have any) I love all things Criminal Minds-like and read books written by Allison Brennan and Brenda Novak which definitely have some ewwww factor.
No, the problem for me is the way I’m writing this book…. it’s seriously scary….. I DON’T HAVE A SCENE SPREADSHEET.
I have a fairly detailed outline….. phew…. but nothing else. I’m just wondering if this signifies I’m moving over to the ‘fumbling in the dark’ other world, of which my two CPs are a part!!!!!
I’ll report further if anything else starts to happen to me, although one of my CPS says it already has as when I was on holiday I actually did some writing….. quite a lot…. at expense of my reading. I usually read a book a day when on holiday and over the whole two weeks I only read about 6 books…..
OMG…. what’s next….
