I just had an “oh wow” moment. Often through the day my mind lives in the clouds. If I’m not reading or watching a favorite movie, or TV show, I’m thinking about them. Running scenes or moments that I loved over and over in my mind. I’m sure everyone does this.
I was sitting here just wasting time online, not really paying attention to anything. My mind was wondering. I was thinking of a scene in a book where an evil mage is torturing some lowly peasant. The scene was from the eyes of his son though, a child innocently watching as his father used really evil magic. It was really scary for him to see his father in this light.
But I couldn’t remember where this scene was from – what book had I read that in?
Then it hit me, it was my book. I wrote that.
I haven’t touched it, other than to read through it a couple of times, in over a year. I think maybe it was the universe kicking me in the pants to pick it back up. Duly noted universe. I hear you loud and clear.
David’s as-yet-untitled-adventures will be properly sorted, edited, and re-written. I think I officially have myself a New Years resolution.
Good luck with the re-writes. I’m doing the same with my book at the moment and like you have tried to remember where I’ve read something to think ‘that was me’. I hope it goes well.
Thank you! Good luck with your re-writes too 🙂
It’s pretty cool when that happens!
Good luck as you continue writing your book. The plot sounds intriguing! 🙂
Thank you! I wrote it during NaNoWriMo 2010 so its pretty messy right now but hopefully I can pull it out of its mess.
It’s amazing when you realize you created something that stuck with you and begged to be revisited. Good luck with revising. Great POV moment. 🙂
Thank you! It really took me by shock when that happened.
