So I;m sort of poking at The Mourning Tree again, as part of joining wrisomifu (Write Something You Miserable Fuck.) Not yet written anything new continuing from the last place I got to, sadly, but I've reread it and typed up all my snippetty sections, made a tiny request for information from Myv's physiotherapist boyfriend which hopefully will come back soon and I've decided what has to come next. Now it's all a question of deciding how to make dead people characters in the book as much as the living without a) zombies, b) flashbacks, c) out-of-place timeline.

Bugger.

Yeah. Don't you remember the ghost in like the first chapter? There were going to be more of them later but then I wanted more dead characters than just people, like trees for instance, and the ghost thing wasn't working cos they needed to be more connected to the real world but I couldn't get around it and got frustrated instead. As I said, I'm going on a marathon blitz this week. Maybe I'll sort something out.

Ghosts-as-characters is easier than non-ghosts, I think, because at least the ghost is still thinking and talking - I have to find a way to insert Susie and Greg in a gen-fiction sort of way.
