MetaFic

With such a title, this could be about our church, which doesn't have its own building so has to set up and take down every week, but it isn't.

Instead, it concerns my current writing project which is set in Anglo Saxon England. I didn't really appreciate how much work it would entail in bringing the wealth of information that is out there regarding the period (its set around 924 AD)into a story. It's also showed me just how much info I have stored in my head about the world in which Harry lives.

If you add into that the normal hard work associated with writing a story, then you realise that its quite a project you have set yourself. Characters present themselves and then have to be given a back-story, locations are picked, rejected, picked again and the rejected again. I could go on but you get the general picture.

But I am enjoying myself and have even managed enough research to pen my first 1500 (very rough words)of my initial first chapter target of about 10,000.
