I had mentioned a few
weeks back that two ideas are jostling in my mind for attention. Both
are ideas for adult novels; one is Young Adult and the other is a
Adult thriller. Though I have just jotted down a few points for each,
both the ideas are sending me their own thoughts about how they want
to be written.
The Young Adult
novel ofcourse wants to be written in first person, while the adult
thriller is screaming that it wants to be written in the third
person. Both the ideas have very sweetly even come up with decent
titles. I am actually quite surprised that with all the family health
issues I am handling, my brain is still in my thinking of my new
manuscripts mode.
Though I have
actually not sat before my laptop, even then bits and pieces of the
stories are cropping up in my mind. Sadly for me, I have not had the
time to write them down. I only hope I won't forget them. Its at
times like this that I am grateful to my God and my Spiritual Master
-Amma for my writer's mind.
I did steal a little
time and start my revisions for my current Middle Grade novel. And I
managed to edit and revise 6 chapters. So, I am quite happy with it.
Thank you all for
your prayers and good wishes. I will be visiting all your blogs in
the next few days.
P.S. I feel like
the squirrel, grateful for everything that God and my Spiritual Master
are doing for me and my family.
Sorry about the family health issues.
ReplyDeleteIs there a way you can record your thoughts for later? Tape recorder, mp3, or something?
So sorry you are dealing with family health issues. That can really be stressful. I'm glad you have good spiritual resources during this difficult time. I think your Muse will be waiting for you. And is sounds like things are being stored away. Congratulations for being able to get some editing done. Take care.
ReplyDeleteGreat to know that your mind keeps thinking of new novel ideas and keeps you moving. I need to force my mind to come up with short story ideas, even!

Share some mental fertility ideas,Rachna! Look forward to read your publications !
ReplyDelete((Hugs)) Having health issues takes so much out of you. I feel it is a tender mercy from Heavenly Father that you are able to hold onto this little piece of Heaven! Go with your inspiration because that is what will keep a smile in your heart during your hardest moments.
ReplyDeleteI love what Alex said!
It's very nice of your stories to give you titles before you even start writing them. Mine make me pull my hair out over titles.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you have to worry about forgetting the ideas. You seem too excited to forget. Talking and blogging about them helps.
Good luck with everything.
Rachna, my thoughts are with you as you continue to deal with family issues -- I've been there and know how much your energy can be drained, even while you think you're coping well. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your family issues. As for the story ideas, jot down as many notes as you can, even if on a notepad. Then when you're ready to get started, just do a little at a time.
ReplyDeleteI hope you continue to feel better. I think it's great that you are still thinking about writing. Good luck with your projects!
ReplyDeleteHi, Rachna....
ReplyDeleteI hope all is well and your family health problems are healing... It can be so stressful when our loved ones are not well...
WOW... Two books at once. Now that is IMPRESSIVE. I envy writers who can jump into multiple stories. I have worked on my first two for YEARS. Did start a third, a novella, that I hope to complete once I am moved into my loft.(It's been under rehab for two months now... hopefully it will be ready in two weeks.... I has to be. I'm moving on Nov. 16th. LOL...)
Take care....
