Yesterday, I made the conscious decision to stick with my policy of resting for at least a week after finishing a project before I start writing again. Sort-of.
I spent the day watching re-runs of Qi episodes. An aside, I really envy you in the UK who get this stuff on air. It's a really brilliant programme! I would happily move to the UK just for the television.
In any case, as I watched, the story basically ran through my head from start to finish, including descriptions of the bad buys (hitherunto unknown). I quickly jotted it down.
I also came up with a title for the work, though it is subject to change. I'm going with:
Ethan Cadfael (The Battle Prince)
What do you reckon? It sounds all serious and stuff, but I shall endeavour to keep this one light. Well, as light as my imagination will let me.
It still has a happy ending, at least. For those who are in the know, that's quite a change from my regular fare.
Right, I'm off to watch more Qi. Did I mention that I adore Qi?
Fuffle
A word applied to an abundance of clothing. A woman with too many flounces or ribbons would be said to have too much fuffle about her.
