Christmas 2012 has come and gone as with the two week break I had. That not only included a break from work and students, but some technology. I have to feel sorry for those who are addicted and carry their electronics everywhere. I read and watched a ton of movies and did some writing stuff, more than I thought I would, so whoo hoo!
I usually don’t get much writing done on vacations, but while everyone slept late in early morning, I exercised, and wrote, AND got some extra sleep in as well. Not only did I manage to get several pages done, but I outlined three other stories in my head and committed two of them on paper. The other one will keep until I’ve finished with the children’s story. The new one is a science fiction, part of the sci-fi universe in my head. Then I thought of an adventure story that may end up part urban fiction (superhero) and an offshoot of Angus and yet a mix of the Hobbit which I saw over the break. (I had no idea it was a trilogy and thought the ending was the end!) This new story sends a character that’s wiggled itself in my head from Scotland to the States. Archie, a young sheep who doesn’t talk or walk and who knew could write decides to visit a pen pal in the States. He’s accompanied by homebody Alasdair who falters while Archie is brave. I can’t wait to see how that comes out especially since I’d like to include small illustrations.
