It’s a very windy day – gusts up to 100mph are
forecast. So what to do, but catch up on my blog and think about a sequel.
Then I bumped into my neighbour who had just
finished reading Fighting Back.
‘You have to write another. I couldn’t put it down.
A great thriller.’
What a lovely reaction to a book I had ignored for
so many years.
I know perhaps people wouldn’t tell me the absolute
truth if they didn’t like it but I have had such a strong reaction from
everyone that I am beginning to think maybe I should write another.
When I was proof reading Fighting Back, I found
myself crying at times, even getting very angry and also longing to
be sailing again. Strange, isn’t it, considering I wrote it, and it was
obviously fiction.
They say there’s a book in everyone, but I never
actually thought there was until I was forced to sit around in a hotel having
hurt my knee skiing. Friends will know I don’t really sit around doing nothing.
But writing is something that makes me relax totally. That and sailing.
At school when we were told to write an essay, I
would write about ten pages compared to others in the class who stopped after
half a page. I never really thought about it then. I just enjoyed developing
every story.
So, here goes. Fighting Back to be continued . . .
