Realisations.

Although the novel is finished, I've decided to expand it a little further. The editing has kinda inspired me to think of new scenes and little plots to add in, so I'm going to crack on with those today. I am really happy with how it's going, and have surprised myself. Writing is amazing. I have discovered that I really really enjoy my own company, and that's strange, because I've always hated it. I haven't taken my anti-depressants for three weeks now, and I haven't crashed and burnt yet. I feel suddenly more grounded, more content and capable of survival. I think the novel has been the support and happiness that I need. I almost feel like a void in my life has been filled. I've spent years searching for something that fulfills me, and makes me feel happy to get out of bed every day, and this is it. I sent a few samples off to my literary agent, who has described my narrative voice as '...haunting. This woman speaks from the raw savagery of human nature.'

I think that could be good, but who knows? I'm on a roll, baby! Who knew that writing about ancient queens and revenge could be so fulfilling?!
