Book is taking shape
OK, Im making myself a promise. When I've put the current issue of Falcata TImes to bed, Im taking some Me time. Yep Im going to attempt to get my first fully planned tale to life. (Cue Lightening.....and Mad Frankenstien Laugh)
Yep the plans on paper, Ive one major behind the scenes villain, one major Im going butt kicking villain, a couple of supernatural flunkies and of course more fun than you can poke a stake at. LOL Madness, mayhem, possibly a high body count and a tale that plays with British mythology to the max. Secretly Im hoping for around 300 pages of manuscript which word count wise will be somewhere between 85-120K. So Im hoping to roughly have a first draft kicked out by years end. However FT will continue to be done and I will be looking for some test readers when I have the first draft ready to get thier opinion on the characters and what needs adding/removing etc and then will set about draft 2 onwards. So heres hoping that the Velocorapter will roar, the weaponry will clash and the epic ride to the last battle will be something spectacular (routes planned already.) I might also be rewriting a certain song just so I can have the fun of recording it on MP3 to listen to as I write.
With slight rewrite:
Upon Stonehenge she rested whilst the storm raged all around
The chalk white horses bloody as they charged across the ground
A bolt of fear went through her as they thundered through the sky
For she saw the Hunt riding hard and she heard thier bloody Cry.
