Day 3 - Yet again

Late night writing was never my favourite time for writing but when you have to write each day it seems it's the best time. 302 words today, it's getting bigger and I think I'm starting to see where my story is headed. My characters are giving me some of their history and their future. Everything starts to make sense until I stop writing with another thing I need to find out. I think I stop writing at a point I have to go back and continue to write so I don't forget. I think I am giving myself way to much credit.

I use to write a bit of a story and show my Mum and ask her what she thought and she would ask where I thought the story would go and I would respond with, wherever the story wants to go. She would always laugh at my response and only today did I realise that it was a complete and utter valid answer. You start to write and then your mind gets going and words flash across your mind and you write as fast as you can to get them down and in the end your left with something that looks like a story. The story directs itself, not you.

I started UNI today, master in creative writing here I come. I hope. Essay writing was never a story point but writing nonetheless will be fun.
