#WritingWonders: 18th July

I wasn't sure how to answer this until I saw your answer

It is the characters, but not always how you expect

My #novelx1 (aka #EG1) was intended to be about the archaeology on a student summer dig in the Cotswolds but Elyssia Gadnall, who lived nearby, kept butting in

My current wip(s) - #novelx4 & #novelx5 (#EG2 & #EG3) - is(are) about her

#novelx2: Tom & Theresa
#novelx3: Dr Andrew Bridges

1000+ words written today and another 3 pages added to the wip. This chapter is growing apace

It's a good feeling after several weeks in the doldrums and something of a major rethink

MC POV: When was the last time you felt needed?

Elyssia: Either, last night (Joshua) or, more generally, about two years ago when I had a vac job at The Manor Care Home. Since then, not so much

#WritingWonders 15 July:
Are there any kissing or intimacy scenes in your story?

Yes

And then I thought:

''Six? Mm. Interesting
EG1: 6 weeks
EG2: 6 years
I have a thing going here!
I could do 6 decades for the follow up..."

And then I thought:

"There's one missing: 6 months. Damn!"

So, I've extracted 6 months from the beginning of EG2 as the core of the missing novel

I think it might work 😂

Now I'm writing two novels - apart from all the others I'm not writing at the moment

I'll have to renumber:
#EG1: 6 weeks
#EG2: 6 months
#EG3: 6 years
