Fun

The joy of writing is definitely returned to me. I’m still absorbed with my piece of fan fiction for CSI New York, and having a huge amount of fun writing it. Even better have been the reviews and feedback people have given me. I’ve now posted up three chapters onto the fan fiction forum, and have had some fantastic comments. I sat there reading them with a huge grin, it’s so worth it writing. If nothing else, I’m writing and enjoying it, and giving other people pleasure by reading what I’ve written. Some people wrote they’d been really moved by what I’ve written, that was cool. I’ve nearly finished my story, one more chapter to go, and I have plans for more.

I haven’t been forgetting though the official stuff. I’m now feeling more confident about my non fiction project, which is definitely going to be about the phenomenon of Steam Engine / Train enthusiasts. Hopefully, in a few weekends time I can go up to the Severn Valley Railway and have a footplate ride. Which is always an amazing experience, and one I would recommend to anyone. The thrill is awesome.

Script ideas I’m still a little unsure of, however I have one or two, so can work something out. One is also on a Steam Train theme, which would be good to link in with my other module. I love hearing other people’s ideas as well, despite sometimes suffering writers’ envy that I hadn’t come up with them. I’ll deal with it.

Finally, this weekend I’m having my first visitors to Cornwall. I was beginning to feel a little paranoid that I’d been here since the end of September and not even my mother had made it down. Okay, so it’s a seven hour or so drive down, but surely for the eldest child… Instead, she has promised to visit in March, and this weekend my Auntie and two cousins are making the journey from Chester. I’m really excited about it, and looking forward to showing them round and showing them all the places I love here. Weather as it was yesterday would be lovely, so I shall hope. Even if not I know it won’t matter.
