Well I was right (TG), what I did in my head did eventually work on paper.
We’ve got the drama back!
As you can see, I just tore the thing out and did some smooth cuts with the scissors in certain sections. I like the frayed edges, I like where it’s going. Alas I chose watercolour for this one, and that medium takes AGES to get any depth. I suppose I need to dig out my hairdryer to keep to schedule. (Goes off to find the hairdryer...)
On another topic:
I did some more research on Harold Shipman. Can you believe I managed to find exactly what I was looking for. As a hypothetical imaginative based-on-fact interpretation blah, you have to be able to defend your views. I think I can possibly do that now.
There is still a lot of secrecy around his domestic situation, for instance. In my quiet moments, I like to think someone he knew might one day read it and say “how did she know that?”and gasp.
I need to bring in some other characters, I’ve decided an aunt and a nosy neighbour. You can derive a lot of suspense from a nosy neighbour and the aunt is going to be a very memorable character. She can be super-loaded with nuance. I can see her in my head already, she’s thoroughly fleshed out, even down to her clothes and hair.
I’ve found a few photos of when HS was a boy, a teenager, a young doctor and a family photo.
* Have a great weekend ppl
