The greatest thing about my day off is that I can decide exactly how much time I can spend writing and where I am going to do it. Just as long as my husband doesn't need his laptop, I can disconnect it and take it anywhere I want to write. Since the weather has been nicer, I've taken advantage of my deckchairs and written outside. Ahhh ... now I have to prevent a funny-looking laptop-shaped tan ...
I'm having fun writing my novel right now. She's like me and not like me, and some events I've been able to just think, "Now what would I do in a situation like this?" and just written down what I would do. I think that's a really attractive aspect of chick-lit - it can be as light and fluffy as you want, and you can give your characters all the cool toys and not have to justify it to anyone. If they want to be successful business women in large firms and companies with men working underneath them at the age of twenty-six, then why the frak not? This is not to say that it's any easier to write chick lit than anything else - it's just a little more appealing to me right now. I am interested in fashion and have a large shoe collection, so why not write about it?
I do think I'll attempt a gothic novel next. But I'll have to do that during the winter. I don't think it'd be very easy to write a dark mysterious novel when the summer sunshine is warming my toes. But I am very excited to actually be writing ... :)
