TRAM

I've been writing short stories for years, as well as writing my novels. I got an idea for a story about a tram. I visited a school in Nottingham and the city was filled with them, so I  thought - why not?

Do you know what? This story is one of the most enjoyable experiences I've had in years - and, I don't know why really! I'm still writing it (in between this blog) and, it is only going to be a short story, not a novel. But, the magic that you get when immersed inside the interior of an adventure has been amazing.

I've obviously made the plot sinister, and added a large dollop of suspense - its what I do. The main character is familier to me too, so its easy to picture. Its just that the story itself has opened up so many avenues that its really exciting to write. I did a little bit of research into tram's in general - there are lots of different styles in different countries. I then picked ideas up to make up my own.

When a writer gets to a point of real enjoyment it brings the memory back of why we started in this crazy world of literature in the first place.

I'm thinking of bringing it out in an anthology of sinister stories.

I'll keep you posted.
