My First Writing Class





I did it under a fake name because one of my idols was teaching it.  This is what she said at the end when I outed myself.  May get it tattooed....

First Draft Done

That's right!  The first draft of Agnes and Dominic was finally typed in yesterday.  Almost a year after I started writing it.  But that's ok, because I did put it aside to write Broken Bits, my fanfic.

I'll let it sit and then go back and start editing.  Yea me!!!!

Dominic muse




The hair and the face are totally Dominic.  But he is also shorter, thinner and hairier!

Anyway, a close up of the RA nipple makes any day better!

Dominic and Agnes

This is what they look like in my head.  Yeah, another RA character.  Dominic is just so angry and moody at the beginning of the story...

My Imaginary Friends

I do plot stories out.

This goes against what writers are taught.  The ideas come to me.  Or, rather, the people do.  Usually it is just a scene.  I'll think on it and soon the characters start speaking, telling me about themselves.

Sounds great, huh?  20 years ago, I had some way to control the traffic.  Few were allowed in until I was finished with the current story.  I have no clue how I did that.

When I decided to start writing again, I thought I would work on the 10+ awesome books I have written in my head the past 20 years.  They are 90% complete, with a great cast.  Now, as new ideas come flooding in, I am worried that I will die before I get them all down.  I am in my late 40s after all.

But then I woke up one day with an idea that just would not leave.  And it was Victorian!  I barely read historicals!  WTF was going on?

Now that I am back, deep into the world of Agnes and Dominic, I get another great idea.  I even scribbled 2 pages of important info down at work yesterday.  But it has to wait.

I just wish my imaginary friends were more patient and could wait their turn.

New Year, blah, blah, blah

No, not really!
I am back to working on the Victorian book, but it is just not flowing well.  Maybe I should just stick to fanfic?
But I have got to try to do this one.
