![]() ![]() I get too side tracked with new ideas, or I just get overwhelmed with the whole process and struggle to break it down into sizeable chunks. ![]() I’m not really a particularly natural writer, more a natural storyteller. I get really bad impostor syndrome every time I have anything published and I think not having the opportunities to dissect the writing process over a wine or a coffee face to face with people during the last year has exacerbated it. My next concern after getting Matryoshka written though is release day. If I haven’t then I will just procrastinate on social media. ![]() I hate letting anybody down so no matter how hard I find writing, if I’ve got a deadline then I will power through to meet it. I’ve actually not managed too badly with writing over the past 12 months, but that’s only because I’ve had deadlines to meet on stories that I promised people upfront. ![]() Luckily by the time we heard Chillercon was being delayed until 2022 I had pretty much finished the book, otherwise I’m not sure how well I would have been able to motivate myself to continue writing during lockdown. Writing Matryoshka has been a strange experience, I was originally approached by Peter from Hersham Horror to write a novella to be released at Chillercon this year. Hi Priya, thanks for inviting me to talk about my novella, hopefully it won’t be too long now before we can actually meet up and chat in person. ![]()
