This actually happened because I began to wonder how I'd make this work. I had figured out the heroine and who the monsters would be; but it all seemed pretty complex. I had to get into it to get a feel for it; and then, as so often happens, I got the feel. Which means despite our beautiful weather, I have been writing more hours a day than I had expected.
It is a wonderful spring in my part of the Pacific Northwest. I look out my window, sniff the air (other than the allergy issues) and just love it. I used to say summer was my favorite season, but I am learning now that it's spring.
Spring is when things change so fast and in a positive way. Trees and bushes are budding out. The grass is growing. Bulbs are pushing from the ground to yield lovely flowers. Every day is a little bit longer.
So instead of writing more here about the monsters and danger I am entwining into this love story, I thought I'd share some photos from around here. I am having a hard time finding good monster photos anyway-- the royalty free kind that I can use in a trailer. Writing their part of the story has been actually fun as the stories by the tribes yield a lot of material as to the personalities of their gods, monsters, witches and ghosts.
Why aren't these beings still around? Is that a problem to them? What might bring them back into a power with which to be reckoned? That's what this new story is about-- well that and a love story. If I find some good-- that is bad images to use, I'll share them in the blog also...
In the meantime, this is my part of the world-- outside my keyboard and monitor at least.
