With two novels and two novellas in the Guardians of the Circles series already published, I thought it was time to write the third novel… but it’s not!
Shilla is the eldest daughter of Col, the main character in The Apprentice Tattoo, and the younger sister of Lorev, who appears in Children of the Spirits. Book three, which is all about her, will be entitled Disc of the Sun. I even made a start on the story, giving a bit of a background to my heroine’s life, but it’s not ready to be told yet.
The other stories have flowed well, and I’ve written them in quite short order, but this one is more of a problem. It is not completely formed.
That leaves me with a quandary. Do I try to force the story out, or do I take a step back and try to write something else while my subconscious assembles the components for Shilla’s tale?
I spent an hour last night, trying to write this new book. I got about 200 words down… then deleted them.
So, I guess I’m looking for a new story idea to write next!
I’m not short of ideas. There is a story about a Selkie, a tale of love and loss about a psychic medium, a vampire tale with a very different twist, and the story of a man falsely accused of child abuse. There’s a lot to choose from. Which one will come to me first? We’ll have to wait and see…
