Writing Fiction

 It looks like I might be writing fiction again. I'm not sure whether I like the feeling or not. I've set up a situation and written a couple of pages and now it's like the characters are hustling me to get on with it. I know what the story might be, but not what it will be, because these people are alive and will certainly do all sorts of things I can't anticipate.  They might even walk out on me and leave me looking stupid.

I hope you'll post some of it here--I'd love to read it.

If it happens it'll be the 5th Purchas story.

Ah, excellent news indeed! I've missed her.

Me too.

This new story opens in Rome, in the mid 18th century.

Oh! Oh! Now you have me hooked. Can't wait to hear more!

Thanks.

When (and if) I do I'll be posting it over at my other LJ [livejournal.com profile] purchas

If it comes to fruit I hope you'll share.

[identity profile] poliphilo.livejournal.com 2008-06-27 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed I will. If it works out it'll be the 5th Purchas story.

I would love to read your fiction work and I promise to do so; especially since you know that I owe you for the inspiration of yesterday.
Get Writing!!!

This- if I finish it- will be the latest in a series of historical fantasy adventure stories, the first four of which can be read at [livejournal.com profile] purchas

Good morning, Tony. This is very good news, that you "might be writing fiction again."

(I thought about you yesterday, when Kate came by to pick me up to celebrate her finishing up her novel Stag in Velvet, last of a trilogy. She said she loves to write, loves the characters, and I told her about Purchas, which she may read, as the entire premise fascinated her.)

I've written about 1200 words. It's going to be the 5th Purchas book. When it's finished I'll start posting.
