Easter writing

Posted by Simon on 6th, April 2010 at 09:20:56

Well, that was an enjoyable Easter break, aside from the weather.  Did no one mention to the elements that it's supposed to be spring?!

I had most of the time off, but incorporated it with doing some book bits.  I'm working up ideas for the new tvdetective novel for next year, and decided to spend time on the characters.

I particularly like this part, as it involves a favoured passtime of mine - people watching.  Whenever I go out, I always take a piece of paper and pen and note down little ideas.  They can be a mannerism, a quirk of appearance or conversation, or just about any detail that can help bring a character to life.

My poor friends have just about got used to it by now, but still have the odd qualm when I jot down a note, wondering what part of themselves they're going to see in a book!

Apart from the scribblings, I've also finished the audio recordings of The TV Detective. It'll now go through the editing process - which can take a while, given the number of fluffs I make - and then be released later in the year.  I'll keep you posted.
