8 Sentence Sunday

Honestly, I'm really enjoying writing this book but I'm hearing over and over again that there's not much of a market for time travel. I've given about 2 seconds thought to changing it, taking out the TT component but this thing is practically writing itself. I'd sure hate to put the hoo-doo on my mojo by changing it around when I've just figured out how this thing is going to end and how the legend of the black knight came into being. So, without further argument from the little devil on my left shoulder, I am continuing with The Black Knight of Gray Cross as it's come to me. And so, Alice's situation is becoming curiouser and curiouser...

She took a deep breath. “Alice. My name is Alice Talbot.”
His jaw dropped and he sat down heavily on the bench before the hearth. “God’s teeth, Lady Talbot, the entire country has been looking for you these many months.”
Alice shook her head, the impossibility of that statement rocking her. “I…that’s not possible. How can that be possible?”

  7. I would certainly hate for you to put the hoo-doo on your mojo! If you are having fun writing it then readers will enjoy it too.

  8. Stick with it, India!! When they write themselves, that is pure passion pouring onto the pages. It's better to write an amazing story for a small market than to work to write a mediocre story for a big market. You can tell, you know. When a writer is feeling the story, or when they are writing for a market. You are the original reader, and if you are loving it, the reader will too. If you don't, I can't imagine how a reader will either. :-)

    Good snippet. :-)

  9. Wow I like that, it must mean that there is two Alice or she has been looping in time, so intriguing.

    Please keep writing and don't worry about the market, nobody does, especially the readers.

  10. If this is what you are passionate about - and obviously it is, since it's writing itself - then this is what you should be writing. Don't strangle your muse trying to get her to write what you think the public wants to read. Because if you do, then your writing will SOUND strangled. Readers can tell when a muse was forced into a box she didn't fit rather than being allowed to live and breathe - and if your story doesn't capture you, it won't capture them. Write YOUR story, and worry about finding an audience for it, later - rather than finding an audience and writing what you think they want to read.

    And I LOVE that she has no idea what the heck he is talking about. I'm guessing the time travel comes into play with that?

  11. Just because some people say there's no market, doesn't mean anything. They are full of shit, because there's always someone whose going to buy it. I love time travel stuff quite honestly and wish there was more of it. Also, do whatever makes you feel good. You are a writer. You write. You tell stories, and anyone who doesn't like them can go eff a weasle.
