I wrote this in several sittings so it's not as polished as it should be, but it's a first draft and of a decent length. I'm satisfied with it for now.
I'm heavily influenced by D&D at the moment. I've been running a campaign now for about six hours, maybe more, and I have to say it's freakin' awesome. I have a great group to play it with and they've been really imaginative.
I'm hoping I can use some of their ideas in this, and vice versa.
Today is Bank Holiday Monday, I plan to drink coffee from my favourite coffee place and write this novel.
I make no bones about this; Mother Nature, or Mrs Henson, owes a lot to Stephen King for her existence. I recently finished watching The Stand again, something I encountered in my early teens as a four-part serial, then read. Mother Abagail (I believe that's how it's spelt) is a wonderful voice in my head, a deep South bible bashin' ol' black woman, she won't take no nonsense but if you think you gon' put one over her you got another thing comin'. And so on.
I hope she comes across. There's a certain amount of Day of the Triffids in there too.
Oh, and while I think about it; this represents the start of something. Wonder if you can spot it :D
