Well, I’m back, as Sam states at the end of the Lord of the Rings. It was a bit of an adventure, except for, eg, ringwraiths, magic rings, elves and what not.
Would like to get back into the writing, given the complete lack of it this last week, but the next 2-3 days promise to be still just as busy.
It wasn’t a complete loss writing wise. Though I got nothing done on Winter Wolves, something odd did happen. It is a bit over three hours driving to my parents, though this time it took slightly longer. There I was, driving along, mulling over things and unbidden a short story popped into my mind. It was an non-serious Sci-Fi with a fair bit of dry sarcasm tossed in, not my staple fare. I still have no idea where it came from. The drive took a bit longer than normal as I stopped a few times to make notes – I had a couple of notebooks with me just in case. All up made around three and a half pages of A4 notes. Just need some time to sit down and write it up properly.
There were some other thoughts that came during the drive, but they will require a seperate post me thinks.
Mist and Shadows 
Very cool! I love it when ideas just happen and you have no idea where they came from. Excellent stuff! And so prepared of you to have notebooks – I would have had to resort to text messaging myself the info I think 😉
They hadn’t been in the car to use while driving – I had them in case I had any time away to do some writing. It was just a happy co-incidence they were at hand. As it was never got to use them after that.
