I’ve been playing with a scene that fits in to an early sequence of novel No 3 (Hard Drives).<\/p>\n
Over the last fortnight I’ve given\u00c2\u00a0it a lot of mental energy, examined it from different\u00c2\u00a0 perspectives, changed the narrators ‘voice’ as well as shifting narration from first to third person (and back again).<\/p>\n
At last, happy that it’s ready for paper (albeit electronic paper) on the drive home this evening I started outlining the scene syopsis.<\/p>\n
Two hours later I pulled up to the house – with a brand new short story almost completely dictated.<\/p>\n
I got so caught up in the mentally-refined version that as I dictated the scene I realised that with a few minor tweaks it could stand alone as a short.<\/p>\n
And so it will.<\/p>\n
I don’t know if it’s good enough for publication – I’ll have to look at the finished article to make that decision.<\/p>\n
But it’s not bad.<\/p>\n
All I need is a title…<\/p>\n
