Unexpected visitors
So there I was merrily typing away on my gorgeous new iMac (called Mist) with its obscenely large screen, using the newly discovered Scrivener software when unexpectedly there strolled up a Fae war band into Vassilly’s Daughter.
Hang on! Hang on!
Where did they just come from?
I shouted this new happening out to Mark, who was upstairs, killing things online and just got an amused chuckle from him and a: “Okay, maybe you go with that instead.”
It called for a break. And research. And furious rethinking of the story I had in mind for Nika.
It took me two days (I didn’t stop writing the sequence as they were busy posturing and giving Nika and her uncle some grief ) to come up with a viable and waterproof reason why these guys unexpectedly showed up. The sneaky little elves, to paraphrase Gollum.
I love that they are now part of Nika’s story because it’s thrown up a whole new twist on events which I love and am more than just a bit scared of! But it’s going to be fun.
