saturday night fever….
Always filled with anticipation, isn’t it? Saturday night.
A really odd thing happened a few weeks ago when I met up with friends, some of whom I had not seen for a long long time, a couple of others who are closer - probably as we know more secrets then each of us might dare to tell. Even if pushed, sat in a comfy chair and face to face with a man in uniform - Enough of that…….
Still, writing Shoes in November last didn’t leave a lot of room for research, and that’s a shame because the research would have got me a few more Saturday nights out with friends and wine.
We were sat catching up in a bar earlyish on a Saturday in June, and the feeling came upon me that I had been there before, though for various reasons this was not possible. After a while I was glancing round, looking for people I was expecting to see, when it occurred to me that those faces I thought I might see were just characters from my book. Everything fitted and I could have been another person in the plot. I hope that means that what I have written is realistic and readers will find something that is significant to them to be able to relate to.
Don’t know why I have left it so long to do, because I am trying to edit now when everything else has got so hectic. Maybe that is the trick….
