Back, Again.

Once again I haven't been blogging but my (late) new years resolution is to try and to spend a little more time on my Online existence.

I have had a few ideas on how to make myself more available to the online world and I am going to try doing that.

This means, more tweeting, more blogging, more flickring, more tumblring. (OK, the last two aren't real but you know what I mean. More facebooking too I suppose.

What's new? Well I haven't been writing since Christmas. Instead I have been reading. I have been reading a wide variety of things just as fast as I can devour them but that seems to be now finished. I shall start writing again tomorrow whilst I travel to work.

Currently I am winding through the tangled threads of three particular characters. Normally I take each character to a point where they interact with another character and then I take the other character and also take them to that point. Then I write their interactions and carry on. However, these three principle characters are currently working in unison and so I have taken to writing chronologically. I find that I don't write as nicely when this is the case but in the end it doesn't make any difference. This first draft is a simple hewing into shape. Beyond that the sanding down and buffing up takes place at a later date.

This maybe as I don't really know how I write; don't know who my inner voice is. When I have found it, I will, redraft to my heart's content.

It is on my 'to-do' list.
