We're approaching the four year anniversary of me writing 56 Seconds followed immediately after by Becoming. When I started writing 56 Seconds I wrote on whatever scrap of paper I could find that first day and then typed it right after I put my son to bed. Unfortunately I threw out that first scrap. By the next day I knew I was writing something special and dug out a notebook my sister gave me either for Christmas or my birthday the year before.
In the video I included the notebook for Stef and Tucker for comparison. While finishing 56 Seconds on the laptop I was writing notes for Becoming and other stories in the notebook and on post-it notes. I think I started carrying around index cards with me around that time as well as the post-it notes weren't surviving in my bag.
Unfortunately after finishing Becoming the creeps decided I had been single long enough (I hadn't) and started the sexual harassment, which was very stressful and I lost the rhythm of these poetic pieces (and then some personal drama, followed by neighbours from Hell, excessive amounts of freelance work). As I write Snow White that style is returning to me. As I say in the video, Dream Princess is going to end up as a fairytale after I finish Snow White (Sleeping Beauty). I do need to go through The Daisies That Open at Midnight, We Gave the World Synthpop Dreams and That's Where All the Magic Is and fix them as they're not working as they are right now. After that I will write The Memories of the Excess of Yesteryear, Powered by Cocaine. I am hoping to do that by the end of the year. And if you've seen my Instagram or public facing but personal facebook page, you know I've come up with a way to repel the creeps.
On 15th March 2022 I will be releasing two Era Two short stories on godless. If that's successful, I'll have two more for Halloween (or a novelette).
