Writing Musings
Well, the writing life always has twists and turns. I was working on my Halloween-inspired story Monday night while listening to the Patriots game and realized that the story would be better served by breaking it up into chapters. Thematically, there are pretty distinct sections. It just developed as I went along.
The characters (or maybe it's the haunted boat) is pulling things their way. I had another idea, or rather, a different tone envisioned for this story, and yikes! That spooky thing that fictional characters do kicked in. I want to write it one way but I'm being firmly directed another way.
I thought I was the only person that happened to, but then when I attended my first MediaWest^ Con years ago, I found out other writers experienced the same thing! So I wasn't crazy! :)
With the chapters development, I may get at least Chapter 1 posted by Halloween.
