Having recently completed the latest in the ‘Lower Methil Annexe’ series – ‘Bathsheba and the Grapes’, I thought that it was time to work on the next story – ‘The Game of Snooker’.
I write my stories using a programme called ‘Scrivener’ (Recommended! They let you try it for free. I liked it, and bought it.) As I complete one part of the story, I update it on tachras. Be it a chapter, or just a paragraph or two, the story will gradually appear. If you want to wait till the story is complete, do so by all means. I will let you know when it is finished. But if you wonder how a story is written, and want to see it, grammar and spelling mistakes and all, then feel free to follow its progress. As I re-read the story before I start writing the next section, you will find editing, re-writes, and sundry changes between one week and the next.
Sometimes I write a lot, sometimes very little, and often, I am doing research and nothing visible may appear (todays research covered Ali MacGraw, Linda Cristal, the High Chaparral and culottes – all relevant to the plot, believe it or not!)
Amy comments will be read, and may even be answered!
