Good Things Really Do Come To Those Who Wait

I don't really have much to add today, I have been so busy with work and yet find myself strangely unable to focus on anything….other than editing my manuscript that is.

My wife is out tonight which leaves me home along and that means only one thing… all the time in the world to get back to editing Through Hell and High Water. I am really feeling the story pull together now, the loose ends are being tied together and I think that I have created something half-decent even at this early editing stage.

The main reason behind this post is my excitement at yet another unexpected brain wave that came galloping into my mind yesterday… oddly enough it was at about the same time (to the minute) as my moment of revelation a few days before. Hmmmmm.

If you read that post, you will recall that inspiration came to me and I finally figured out how to link everything together for a crime novel I am planning called Par 4: The Course. (Of course there is a slightly supernatural twist to this at some point.) While I have been dancing through the streets now that, after about 2 years (although it has not always been my focal point) and several false starts the novel was finally coming together. You can only imagine my mood yesterday when it suddenly unravelled even further in my mind to the point where I now have the entire plot of the novel outlined in my head. The bare bones at least, I have the route the characters need to take,, the secondary character has appeared and had a story to tell and I have the motive and "moral" aspect of the story too.

It seems to strange that after so long, the entire plot has just appeared over the space of a few days and without an effort. Now I just have to find time to sit down and write it. Or more to the point, once Through Hell and High Water is complete, do I write the second story in the trilogy or take a break and work on this?
