writing progress – MC Houle https://www.mchoule.com Looking for that Happy Ending Wed, 02 Jan 2019 00:46:37 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.0.21 Lisbon, Portugal https://www.mchoule.com/lisbon-portugal/ https://www.mchoule.com/lisbon-portugal/#respond Wed, 19 Aug 2015 08:40:45 +0000 http://www.mchoule.com/?p=1199 I have been in Lisbon for about two weeks, but haven’t done much in terms of visiting. I have some beautiful pictures of the neighborhood of Belem. Of its tower and its monastery I did visit a close-by little town of the name of Cascais with a Norwegian friend I met in Madrid.

I’ve got only a few days left, so I should be doing some visiting soon before I miss out. The next stop is Porto in Portugal, from where I’ll head for the UK meet in September.

Mostly I’ve written a lot, a good 10K+ since my arrival in Lisbon. I didn’t much advancement with The Scarlet Shadow, but I started a short story about child-acting, and a foodie F/F short story.

It’s my first time with lesbian fiction, but since I have an idea for a F/F time travelling novel in my rooster, this short story is going to be a bit of a test run. This still untitled short story in the world of food blogging isn’t just my first in the genre, but my first female point of view since my early days writing Draco/Hermione fanfictions more than ten years ago.

I’ve travelled in ten different countries, and I still have about five to go until I get home.  I’m leaving Barcelona for Madrid tomorrow morning, and after two weeks at the same place, I feel a little bit sad to be leaving.

I love learning about other countries history, and I wished there was more of it in school. Some part of the Scarlet Shadow world has been inspired by what I’ve learn about the Second World War and communist regims around the world. It probaly could have been better for productivity in terms of words, but it’s been pretty good for ideas.     The plot for the first book of the Scarlet Shadow series came to me after listening to local legend from Hamburg, Germany.

I’ll try I won’t try, I WILL be writing more about it until the end of the trip.
