I just meant I noticed a significant change in the way I had originally structured the story and the way I'd phrased some things, compared to the way I'd tackle it now.<br /><br />I've been kicking around the new piece for a while now. I seem to have kicked it into into a corner so hopefully now it's not moving about so much I'll be able to start writing it.<br /><br />The picture book sounds exciting. Hope that goes well.<br /><br />And, yes, read A L Kennedy. "What Becomes" would be a great place to start. I really liked "Day" as well, and "Indelible Acts", so I'm going to be delving into her back catalogue in the next few months.Dan Purduehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633271913854946500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942294427695379658.post-24000010155789329282011-01-20T20:57:24.247+00:002011-01-20T20:57:24.247+00:00I like that, the idea of collaborating with yourse...I like that, the idea of collaborating with yourself from a few years ago. Good luck with the new story, sounds like a very, excuse the naff expression, 'organic' way of going about it. It's nice, to have that gestation time. And to try new ways of working. I like sketching around ideas when they are very new, and that's actually led me to my latest project, which is a kind of picture book. Maybe.<br /><br />I have A.L Kennedy on my 'read this writer' list. <br /><br />'someday being some sort of actual writer' - funny - first off, I reckon you ARE, but also - the amount of words you've added in, to make this less direct and therefore less showy is funny and very English, and I do the same kind of thing.Teresa Stensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17027879292470220383noreply@blogger.com
