While motoring back, I looked to the position of the house, Trevenen, and I knew that the book must be rewritten in first person. I have to confess that the thought came to me complete and of such certainty that I will have to follow this up even though I have only ever dabbled with first person. However the ground work has been laid with the removal of Tristan's pov in the last revision. So this latest light bulb moment tied up with the one I had in bath about two months ago while reading Agatha Christie I think will make August Rock the book it needs to be. I am a happy bunny except for the fact that this project is at the back of the queue. I need to submit my NWS partial of Penderown before I can do anything else. Of course I mustn't let the lids know that it hasn't been sent because after last summer I promised them it would be done and dusted before the holidays....
So the question for today....is there anything that inspires ideas or clarifies them for you?

Aha, so that's where you got the name from.
Expect I told you that one of my first sailing experiences with DH was in the Helford River, and I was always scared of August Rock, particularly if DH was late getting back.
Thanks for all your v.g. reports. You should be a journalist too!
I don't like being out on water, though I do enjoy swimming. Those photos are gorgeous!
Yes, Capt B - all is revealed :-)
Susie I don't think you had mentioned it! Thanks for the kind words.
DJ - I'd be in trouble in this family if I didn't like boating...

It's lovely to see the photos of August Rock.
I'm also working on my submission for NWS, but thankfully have a quiet weekend this weekend, so will make the most of it and get as much done as I possibly can.
Lovely photos. I love the sea but don't get there often enough. Ideas often come when I am out running and also in the middle of the night[when I should be sleeping!] but i don't always remember them as I would wish. Or perhaps the ideas just sound better in my head than on paper!!!!
I often get those moments while reading other people's writing, so not at all surprised that you did whilst reading Agatha Christie.
I was there yesterday Liz! How could anyone not be inspired by the Helford?
FP - how true!!!

Inspiration strikes at strange moments, and clarity is an increasingly rare quality in my life these days.
I do envy your sailing, though... :)
I once changed a book from third to first person. It did amazing things for the story, but I was also surprised by how much it required me to change.
Bathtubs and showers are my two best places for inspiration. I guess that counts as water!
Excellent post with beautiful photos. Its really helpful for me.So thanks for sharing a wonderful blog. Keep posting..
