Always Busy

[image error] Life has finally settled down again, after the absolute chaos of the last couple of weeks. I’m getting a lot of reading done but not so much writing at the moment - still waiting for my editor to get back to me with the next book in the line.
I have found, though, that keeping a mix of writing methods at hand it always useful. After not having written anything significantly by hand for a number of years, I found myself in the situation recently where pen and paper was all I had to capture the story forming in my mind.
It took a little bit of effort to get used to writing large amounts of text, as well as getting it neat and tidy on the page, but at the end of the process I was quite proud of what I had achieved.
Writing by hand always seems to necessitate a different approach to thinking about the plot and character development and way of thinking about what comes next in the story. It can be a really powerful tool in the writer’s arsenal, and is one that I found a lot more enjoyable than I initially thought I would.
Now I just need to find the time to type out what I wrote...
