izmeinaNanowrimo is over for yet another year and I reached the magical milestone of 50,000 words but added another 5,555 of my own in order to indulge my obsession with pretty and symmetrical numbers
The story that I intended to write was NOT the one that ended up on the pages. Like too often in the last few years Dursley dramas have hijacked any attempts to write normal stories
But there are no regrets. For this giant formless pile of words did not turn into a proper story with a beginning, middle and end but transformed itself instead into a giant Pensieve.
I joined the dots and found all sorts of sneaky but legal ways to get into trance states. The music of Lisa Gerrard is a particularly potent weapon for this purpose. I listened for the tiniest stirrings of the inner serpent and resorted to all sorts of devious means to bring the shy and retiring creature out of hibernation
And that is how the real magic happened. Just in the nick of time too. For if the inner serpent had not come to the rescue, it would have been a dark and difficult time watching Vile Vernon Dursley grandest plan to date to erase the last living trace of Petunia's legacy from the planet
So I have managed to turn the most bitter and sour of lemons into a very bubbly tasty potion indeed.
