Cheers Drew – I will get there – for the first time (in quite a while) I really think I may actually (properly) finish a novel…

Thanks Stifyn – the more often I tell a variation on this story, the often I have it confirmed that I didn’t walk this path alone…

I starting to look forward to people reading Endless Possibilities too – I think that’s why, I think, I’ve decided to pick it up again…

[...] was a very strange moment (and is captured here) especially as I’d always known exactly how the story ended, but I hadn’t consulted [...]

You will finished a book, John. I just hope I’m still alive to see it, and not in need of some restorative cyro-sleep myself…

I was just thinking your ‘ps’ when you wrote it. Genuinely did LOL.

Cheers,

Drew.

I, too, wrote a book in my late teens and early twenties that was “complete rubbish,” so I can relate. I wrote mine on an old Epson Equity 1, green screen and all. Still have the printout of it. Samaire keeps saying I should have another go at it, but it’s far beyond salvaging (the idea isn’t bad, but I’d have to start from scratch, because the writing is).

I look forward to reading Endless Possibilities. I take fact that it elicited tears from you as an extremely promising sign.

[...] in love with writing Endless Possibilities again (the exact details of this love-up are detailed here). However, I realised that I was stuck with where the story had gotten too at the 95,000 word [...]

Thanks A – I enjoyed the process and blogging about it just made Stephen all the more real. I can feel him now, even as I type, pottering about inside my head…

Fascinating. I don’t know what the coach did, obviously, but she certainly seems to have gotten your creative juices flowing, and that’s what’s important. I like your story of “meeting” your character. Nice piece of memoir/fiction, John.
Love,
A

A really inspiring workshop. I find writing short stories difficult and this was a wonderful way to open up the mind. I now have a character in my notebook who is begging me to tell his story …
