I have been spurred into starting to finish book 3 of Chris and Nigel. I have made a start on Chapter 3. Not a good start yet, but a start.
Many things have changed in my life since I last put fingers to keyboard, not least of which is the easing of the huges stresses that created the stories in the first place. The writing helped ease the stresses, but the stresses gave the inspiration. An interesting cycle.
So, no promises. And, with the changed stress levels I have no idea if I finish the chapter if it will be any good.
The spur was Steve. He has been kicking me about "at least writing something, even if it's crap". Well I am accepting his challenge.
The plot is dark and tough, and I am in a corner with it. Somehow I have to get Chris out of the corner he's painted himself into. Stupid brat!

Good luck with the new storyline and hope you beat the writer's block.

Don't kill yourself over trying to finish your book, it'll come to you when you should finish it. If ya know what I mean.
Time is lifes currency, spend it well.

Sometimes it takes a few years....
No rush..... But lets meet in the middle somewhere.... LOL
I know how it is when the muse takes a holiday.... Never fear though, when the notion comes so does the inspiration....
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

Many of those who write "from within," Vs "from without" - reporters, for example - say that ONLY stress creates the story and the need to get it out. I've heard writing compared to pregnancy -- the stressful experience creates (fertilizes) the tale (embryo), which gestates for its allotted time, than pops out with at least as much pain and strain as giving birth. And the completion is followed by "post-partum depression." So, Timmy and all of you superbly talented contributors to the Stories section of this wonderful web site, my heartfelt thanks for suffering the pain. All of us readers really appreciate your efforts. d
