Getting back to normal after going through a long period of episodes you would rather not remember is far from easy. However, at long last I feel that "normal", if you could ever call my life that, is taking hold again.
The shelved novel is getting it's final edit and will soon be off to the publisher. Better still, the thriller I've been carrying in my head for a while is starting to flow onto paper. I've always managed to get suspense in my novels, but I'm finding an out and out thriller much more difficult to write. It's so easy to get caught up in the tangled web I myself am creating. Setting clues and red herrings is easy, but working out the who, the where, the why and the how is far more complicated than I imagined.
However, it's refreshing to write something entirely different, something I have dreamed of writing for as long as I can remember. Right now, the biggest mystery is who the hero or heroine is going to be - not to mention the murderer! Maybe I should do what Agatha Christie is said to have done and not decide until the last chapter.
Well, I'd better get back to the editing of The Raging Spirit today and think more about The Second Man tomorrow.
