...I'm thinking of writing a book. A novel in fact.
I have been planning it in my mind for some months - quiet dog walking time gives me two hours a day to think without distraction- and I'm just about there with characters and their backstory, plot, and all that. There will be lots of interesting locations, a smattering of violence, some heart break, and even a love plot.
I'm not expecting to hit the bestseller list and be the next Lee Child - my hero is far more believable than Reacher - but wouldn't complain if it did. No, I'm thinking of doing it for a bit of fun, to pass a bit of time over the hare, cold winter we have coming.
Have any of you most excellent people done anything like this? How did it go? Tips? Advice? Bribes?
And I'll need a pseudonym. A longer first name and a short surname so the publishers can have the surname in large gold embossed letters with the first name in smaller letters above.
