I haven’t written any fiction for a while, not since finishing Gu<\/a>, almost six months ago. This is largely because I do fiction writing in my spare time and I haven’t had much of it lately, what with one thing and another.<\/p>\n

Of course if thousands of people started buying my books it would become part of my job, and then I would do it a lot more regularly.<\/p>\n

Ahem. Anyway, I’ve been havering about where to serialize my next project, the YA novel The Y People<\/span> – a new Blogger blog? On my C-Side Media site (would involve a new database and installing WordPress and yada yada)? I finally just decided to serialize it here. I may shift it (and the other blogged material) to C-Side Media eventually, but for now, my resolution of my procrastination is to put it where I already have an (albeit small) audience.<\/p>\n

I have the feeling that, as with Gu, if I just start writing it it will come. At the moment I have only a fuzzy idea of exactly what will happen – I let plot arise from character and sudden mad inspiration, I’m not one of those authors who meticulously plots a whole series in advance, which is only one of the differences between me and J.K. Rowling. But I know what happens in the first scene and some of the later scenes, and I know pretty much who my protagonists are, which is enough for me to get started.<\/p>\n
