I Love to Write

I got a lovely review today! It fair cheered me up!

The author spins a fascinating tale in which traditional Scottish history is merged with mystic and haunting visions.
A fast moving story which combines suffragettes and women challenging a male dominated world and seeking lost climbers.

@hartfire Not bad at all! Very good in fact. You don't have to write a novel all at one time. When you get the urge, write a bit - it does not have to be in sequence at first. Then cobble together later and smooth it in the second and subsequent drafts.

I like that idea. Quite freeing. I often have thoughts about what character do or what happens to them - and they're totally out of sequence with the plot. This cobbling or patch work idea is great! Thank you! :)

@hartfire You can put any character in any situation - and change names and places later to fit in with the text. You are in charge- you do what you think best.

Mostly short stories and poetry (plus nine unfinished novels.)
Am studying Creative Writing at uni, and feeling almost ready to submit to journals.
My main interest in writing concerns environmental issues - some social as well, but I read in many genres.

What attracted you to writing, Helen?

warmly,
Manna Hart

@hartfire The descriptions in Scotland are all from life, and most of the people are too. Not all. In Dark Voyage I used names from ship's logs and descriptions from contemporary journals to get the atmosphere and characters as accurate as I could. My romances all contain real people.

It's time someone at the BBC read Dark Mountain - it would make a great drama!
