Flootin' About: December 2009
http://flootin.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, 19 December 2009. Why do I have a character who won't tell me why he's in the book? I mean, don't get me wrong - I love him, he is a great fun character to write, he has made my story SO much more interesting than it would have been, and I'm grateful that he jumped out of the backstory and forced himself into the role of a main character. He has lots of reasons, in terms of the story as a whole, for being there. After 77K you'd think I'd have a clue. Links to this post. I'm thrilled that two of...

Flootin' About: Please tell me you're joking...
http://flootin.blogspot.com/2010/03/please-tell-me-youre-joking.html
Wednesday, 10 March 2010. Please tell me you're joking. I just read a post of someone daring to suggest that being a smoker these days would be enough to give one a good insight into being a black person in the 50s. Seriously, Mr Smoker? You're going to go there? You're going to compare a choice to pump yourself full of noisome and noxious chemicals with being born. With the 'wrong' colour skin?

Monday, 25 January 2010. You may, if you're a writer type, have come across this blog: http:/ 3amepiphanyproject.blogspot.com/. Me being, well, me, I didn't find out about it till I was already behind and then I have been bad at finding time to actually take the dratted challenges. BUT I will nonetheless post those I DO complete here! Write a first person story in which you use the first person pronoun (I, me or my) only two. Times Keep the 'I' some. Wordcount: 600 ( /- 10%). But here's my first effort.

Flootin' About: As Yet Unfinished/Excerpt
http://flootin.blogspot.com/2010/02/as-yet-unfinished.html
Friday, 19 February 2010. If you saw a book with this title, would you be intrigued/pick it up to have a closer look? As usual my title idea came about by accident. But I think it could work. And I'm wondering if anyone cares to tell me who they would imagine was the viewpoint character in this excerpt - oh, and do you like it and stuff. (No clues from fellow 2YN folks who will know who's speaking, please! It's first draft, be warned, but yeah. be interesting to see. The other kind are no less disorienta...
