Moving house...

Hey anyone who is interested...:)

I am moving house at the moment and working a lot as well as studying, so there is not much writing happening. I am deferring university until next semester. I will do my film and television subject then.

The other day however, I thought of my main character and how she is still lying in a hospital bed, beaten up by her neighbour...a complicated story...but I am not sure where her life is going now...

She is in good company with her new Irish boy friend and her irritating mother. Roger her West Highland Terrier is waiting for her at home in her townhouse on the river at Hill End, Brisbane. It comforts me to think about her and know I will go back to her soon, to continue in her story. But for now, I am too busy. The story, the novella must go on in the background of my mind while I continue with all of the things I HAVE to do. No one is aware of the dreaming, musing and imagining that goes on in the writers mind when they are sitting on a train, bus, at a soccer field, on a beach, with a notebook...scenes, dialogue, character's thoughts, backgrounds...

However, there is a time for everything and for now my time is limited. I imagine the reader of this will understand this very well. At least I know in all of my busyness, I can still work in small increments. Quietly and patiently, the narrative can still develop, under any circumstances.
