Cara’s Choice Part Five

5 01 2010

After far too long a break, part five of Cara’s Choice has finally been completed and is the first new work now added to this site this year.

Most of the plot had been figured out months back, but due to various things – not the least my own slackness – it never got around to being written.

And so once more the old trap rears its ugly head. There I am working away at Winter Wolves and a totally unrelated story idea pops up and demands attention. Bad brain, bad brain. But I am not falling for it this time, no sir.

Instead I wrote down a brief plot idea from that random idea, saved it and filed it away for the future and forced myself to return to Winter Wolves.

What I really need is a cybernetic implant that will record all these ideas and thoughts without the need to do the actually writing. On second thoughts, perhaps not…
