My Words for Today

I’m under attack from hayfever at the moment thanks to my horse ride this morning, not very nice, but definitely worth it as I love being around horses. I had a lovely ride around the country lanes today. Sadly it’s the season for horse flies and they were continually plaguing the poor horse so I spent a lot of time acting as his fly swat. I know how much the horse fly bites hurt so it was quite satisfying getting them!
     
Once I got back I was freshly inspired to have a look over my children’s horse story. After reading it through I decided that the opening scene needed to be rewritten. The plot’s changed a lot since I started writing the story and the one I had didn’t work anymore so I spent some time thinking about what I wanted from the scene and the story as a whole. I then started writing the replacement scene. I got to 302 words and though the scene wasn’t complete I wasn’t feeling right frame of mind –thanks to my hayfever – to do the scene justice so I decided to leave it there and move onto something else.
   
Happily, I managed to get all 19 world building files for my mist fantasy novel onto my TiddlyWiki and linked them to the relevant characters etc.
   
It’s defineatley helping the story come together in my mind and I’d recommend using TiddlyWiki for planning to other writers.

My next job is to get the ‘plot’ files on and link them.
