Heading away for a few days...
Heading Away...
Just booked a taxi for a 5.45pm pickup tomorrow morning... I really hate early starts like this... heading off to Adelaide again for the umpeenth time. I don't mind Adelaide, and in fact I lived there with my family for about 18 months several years ago. I just hate leaving Deb and kids for the week - we're extremely close. :)
This time around, the anxiousness is exacerbated by the fact that I have final exams (for a couple of Uni subjects) starting on the Monday after i get back. I'm not so much worried about my subject results, but moreso the fact that, for this semester at least, Uni had really gotten in the road of my social and personal life. Only 6 semesters to go... :)
Shower time is creative time...
I've started knocking around ideas for my second novel, hoping that it will be as enjoyable to write as the first. Funnily enough, most of my creative ideas seem to spring into my head when I'm in the shower - I have no idea why that's the case. It's not uncommon for me to come out of the bathroom and tell Deb that I've just written another chapter (in my head). She's keen to see where I plan to take the story and to be honest, I'm not so sure myself yet - just part of the process where I have lots of notes of seemingly unrelated scenarios then try to build a plot around it. I look for *scenes* that I think readers will enjoy, then see how such a scene could fit into part of my evolving story. During my last foray into the shower - this morning - I ended up coming out with the news that I had a problem with my second story - it's already starting to spawn a third.
Anyway, time to be off in order to pack my things for the early start...
I probably wont have the opportunity to post again until Saturday!
