Rainy afternoons
Rainy afternoons lead to lots of creativity, for me anyway. The weather has been quite unpredictable today, so I decided to stay in. I'm now sat in my room listening to the rain fall outside and feeling quite cosy.
We are hopefully moving soon so I've been sorting through years of old stuff. I found loads of short stories I wrote as a teenager, including what some of you may remember as 'Three Billion Miles Away', a story I wrote at the age of about 14. I've decided to work on that and try to re-write it into a novel. Of course, it needs a lot of tweaking; my writing was a lot less structured when I was 14 and I have been changing lots of things about the plot. I do think it has potential though and I really enjoyed writing it the first time. Very excited about how that will end up. I am hoping I can make it a series of novels as that's something I've always wanted to do.
I still have to finish the other project I'm hoping will end up as a finished novel too. It's been in my head for about 5 years now and it's only this year I've started trying to get it written down on paper and plan exactly what happens. It makes the writing process a lot easier when you've been living with these characters inside your head for years. I am looking forward to it all finally coming together.
In other news, I've booked a trip to Paris in October which is very exciting! I've been to Paris in all of the other seasons but have never experienced a Parisian Autumn. It should be a quiet time of year too which will make visiting the famous landmarks easier with less queuing. I got the chance to practise my French on Friday; I had to call a goat farm and book an excursion for the end of year French trip in June. I'm not going (the trip is during my birthday week and I had things planned) but I liked being able to help them out. Also, I am very excited about the Libertines reunion. Looks like it will be a good Summer.
Hope you are all happy despite the questionable weather today. Enjoy your weekends :)
