Yesterday I wrote a thousand words (for a total of 3,046 so far) on a time-travel story I’ve been thinking about since I woke up from a very vivid dream back in mid-April. It’s a bit of a romance, too, which is outside of my normal métier. Wait. Who am I kidding? It’s completely outside of my normal métier.
At the moment it’s not something I’d publish; I’d have to go through and make a LOT of changes, or publish it under a psuedonym. Some of the events are too close to the reality I’ve lived over the past couple of years, and the backstory is too well-known to a number of my associates, some of whom I have no reason or desire to offend (and would, if this went out in its current form). But it makes an interesting story, I think. Lots of conversation, not so much action. And I’ve got three different possibilities for ending it, which also is not normal for me; endings are hard.
If nothing else, at least I’m writing fiction again.
