How did you know what would be your (or the subject of your) first novel (novella)
Was it an idea you had and growed for a long time ?
Was it something (for differnt reasons) obvious to you (you knew that it has to be that subject)
Or, did it came by chance, without paying much attention (you were writing disparate things and then gradually you find yourself writing something that could be a novel)
I've been fascinated with Arthurian Legend since I was a child. My idea for my novel took many decades to manifest to the surface. It was the demon inside that compelled me to write.
Yes I know what you mean Barbara. My wife and myself had a conversation years ago about this and of course like people do said it is coincidence... Sometime later, not sure how long, one chat show was interviewing a famous and popular Author, who I can't remember. (How's that for famous and popular lol) but he said exactly the same thing, so it's not just us with the creepy stuff. good luck getting there before they do!
Regards Paul.
I keep putting an x at the end of my posts like I do when I send texts so if I have done that in the past and not seen it in time to delete please forgive an old codger.
Ooh, you gave me the creeps there a bit, Paul. The same has happened to me, other authors writing my stories, or rather, a particular 'proper' writer. I thought it was only me this happened too. I have even used the same title as one of his and though the story was utterly different to mine, it was all about my day job. And to really creep me out, he has used my namesake as an inspiration to a character in one of his later books. I used to think we were just tuned in to similar things.
