Slave traders

Hi

I went for my usual walk the other day and saw that the stately home that was falling apart now has a company renovating it. I was so glad.

I'm up to page 355 and I can't believe I've gotten this far. I'm thinking that I will have to write a third book to complete the story properly.  But the last book I will leave until I have polished the other two first.

I've just returned from Nyngan in the outback. The scenery is so different to what I'm used to that I think I will incorporate it in my story.

I've decided to include a chapter where my main character has a very scary time with slave traders as they were very much a part of the ancient world. On the main, they have squashed-in faces and a strange way of expressing themselves. Other than that these men are the type you wouldn't want to run across in a dark alley.

The whole process of writing surprises me. I don't know where the ideas come from. Sometimes I just can't get the flow going and then something sparks an idea and off I go again.

Sometime I think I'm crazy to be writing with no guarantee of success. I can't explain why I write. Maybe I hope that one day something will work and I'll have people who like what I write as much as I do.

Best of luck with your efforts.
