I get an idea for something, go at it and then realise that it is all too complex and so it slowly fades away, but never completely. Some things get incorporated into my “interest list”, which means that I am likely to return to it, say a couple of times a year. For a few weeks then, that thing becomes a focus and I find it difficult to concentrate on anything else.
Now I’m sure if writing a book is in that category because it is pretty much always there either at the forefront or remaining in the background, never really completely going away. The question though, is always what am I going to write about? Non-fiction? I thought that would be easier than fiction. Well, not really, because obviously, you have to know your topic. Whilst I might know a bit about something, that by no means makes me an expert, so if I am going to write about something it has to be that which makes me really interested.
The question is, have I found it? I keep a handwritten journal mainly because I enjoy a bit of handwriting, even though my handwriting is not at all good. Anyhow, I started writing down an idea that I had for a book, and actually, this one is growing a few legs.
It combines areas of interest and will require a lot of research, but it all maps into plans that I have for our future in Dorset.
I really want to tell you about it, but I can’t here. Somebody might take the idea and do a better job of it. Also, is it really a good idea. The only thing I will tell you is that it is a work of fiction.
