Writing - It's Over

 Polling Day was as always an anti-climax. Rather like Christmas Eve when all preparations are complete and all that is left is waiting. Even though the outcome was as expected it has to be announced. The scale of Labour's victory was immense and the damage Tories have done to themselves, was legion. 

When we are writing such 'dead water' is going to turn off the reader and so needs to be avoided. It is in your own hands. 

The pace of your writing is entirely up to you and is rather like a delicate flower. If you over-worry about pace and try to keep it going the end product could be more of the rampant bindweed rather than a delicate flower. 

As with flowers, the elements of your stories can be delicately layered and different even within the same species allowing both large and small events that will boost the pace when required but there is still the continuous need to feed and systematically tend the story. Too little light and it may become etiolated and die, too much drawn and malformed. So you need an overview of what you have produced thus far and where the story needs to go to maintain its quality. 

The bottom line, enjoy your writing for yourself and write for yourself because if you don't derive anything from what is produced nor will the reader. 

God Bless
