These are the moments I live for...

Today I had one of those moments that, as a writer, I live for...

You know, those brief yet vivid glimpses into the future, the discovery of new characters, of new directions for your story to go in; those moments when the writing comes easily, where you feel more like you're channeling the words than making any conscious effort to think them, where it's all flow and you wonder why it can't always be like this, and wish that you didn't have to stop soon and pick your kid up from school; those moments when your characters become real, and you are simply recording the overheard conversations between them, when you feel more like a fly on the wall, observing, than a writer, creating...

...you know the ones.

It's finally going to happen...

So I've checked with my publisher and he says the proof of my short story collection Reflections is on the way. He told me I could probably look at launching in November, but due to other commitments that month I'm tentatively planning for the 12th of December.

I will blog more about it and send out invites when I have everything booked and confirmed.

I think I might just have to get excited all over again!
