Inspirations

So I think its fair to safely say I am failing at the whole BEDA thing. I did warn you that my life wasn't interesting enough to pull it off!

So today I went to Lacock Abbey, which was where they have filmed a heap of stuff, most notably the first two Harry Potter films. It was such a lovely place, and I know this sounds so stuck up, but it really inspired me to start work again on my nanowrimo novel.

I have never revealed much about my novel, but one of the main settings in the book is an old abbey that has been converted into a manor house, and Lacock was literally exactly how I imagined that abbey. I now have two real life locations for the two main places in my novel! So now when I finish the bones and come to editing, I have a more solid base to portray my setting, which I find very exciting! Not only that, but it lead me to re-evaluate some plot points I had been having trouble with, and now I have new ideas and new directions to go in ...

Right now, I'm feeling more upbeat about this book than I have for a long time!

I don't know why, but that makes me feel like such a real author; you know, writing what I know and utilising my influences and all that jazz, which also helps with the upbeatedness (if that's even a word, and I'm pretty sure its not, but oh well).

So, tomorrow being a Monday, I intend to get back into writing at least something every day. I am also intending to maintain the diet and exercise and shit, do better on the drinking more water, do some work on both designs and my business, and do some cleaning. I have a lot to do tomorrow.

Something has just occurred to me. This blog is nothing more than an overly wordy to do list.

Fantastic.
