****Shawn Brink’s MY GYPSY WAR DIARY is #205 in the never-ending series called INSIDE THE EMOTION OF FICTION where the Chris Rice Cooper Blog (CRC) focuses on one specific excerpt from a fiction genre and how that fiction writer wrote that specific excerpt. All INSIDE THE EMOTION OF FICTION links are at the end of this piece
Name of fiction work? And were there other names you considered that you would like to share with us? The name of this book is MY GYPSY WAR DIARY. It was between that title and THE NORFOLK DIARIES, but my editor Laura Vosika (https://www.facebook.com/laura.vosika) at Gabriel’s Horn Press (https://www.facebook.com/GabrielsHornPress) felt that MY GYPSY WAR DIARY fit the overall theme of the book better, so I went with it.
What is the date you began writing this piece of fiction and the date when you completely finished the piece of fiction? The work for this book began at the beginning of spring in 2016 and wrapped up when it was published in 2018.
(Right: Laura Vosika)
Where did you do most of your writing for this fiction work? And please describe in detail. And can you please include a photo? Most of this book was written on a park bench near where I worked at the time. I would walk to the Meadow Lane Park in Omaha, Nebraska and would sit on that bench and write during my lunch.
What were your writing habits while writing this work – did you drink something as you wrote, listen to music, write in pen and paper, directly on laptop, specific time of day? I am an easily distracted person. That’s why I chose to write at a park bench where distractions were limited. No drinks. No music. It was just me and my laptop on a bench in a quiet park.
Please include just one excerpt and include page numbers as reference. This one excerpt can be as short or as long as you prefer.
Excerpt from MY GYPSY WAR DIARY Chapter 1 (page 1-2 in softcover version)
I stood there in that attic, holding the book that would guide me to salvation. It felt old against my fingers. In the dimness, I brought it up close to my face. The leather was cracked, but the embossed name of the book’s owner still appeared brightly. No mistake, this was the artifact I had come to retrieve.
The rain pounded on the roof, reminding me of the sound of bacon frying. My stomach growled. No lie, I could have eaten some bacon right then, but the mission needed to be completed. Besides, I had no bacon.
And then—I froze in terror. Mixed with the bacon-frying, was another less distinct noise; one not created by rain, wind, or thunder. It was a rhythmic creaking.
That sound verified an unsettling fact. I was not the only one interested in the book. I was not alone in the house. Somebody was climbing the stairs.
The creeper ascended slowly, evidenced by the time that passed between each creaking reverberation. Whoever was slinking up those steps, was trying hard to slide under my radar.
Shivers squirmed up and down my spine as I looked for a place to hide. There was nowhere. The attic was an empty space, void of anything to cower behind.
For lack of options, I hurried to the blackest, furthest corner of the attic where I would be much less noticeable. But would it be enough? I crouched down into the small space where the roof slanted down to meet the floor. Cobwebs brushed my face and tickled my nose. I held my breath, fearful of a sneeze. I forced myself into a painful silence holding the old book in one hand and my flashlight in the other.
Lightning blazed through the broken attic windows and for an instant, my invisibility evaporated. Panic stabbed me, but I had committed to this hidey-hole. It was too late to move. Besides, no alternative presented itself. I hugged the book close and stared out into the darkness, praying for my salvation.
A strange light glowed upon the wall opposite from where I hid. At first, I could not understand what it was doing there or where it had come from. Then it hit me. In my terror, I had forgotten to turn off my own flashlight. I did it, just in the nick of time.
My light vanished, and a split second later, another light flickered in the stairwell.
I held my own flashlight like a bludgeoning weapon, now that it was no use for seeing in the dark. I gripped it in my hand, keenly aware of how inadequate it was compared to what I wished I had.
My body and mind were nearing the critical flash point, that moment at which panic overcomes rationality. My thoughts were of the darkness and how that darkness was my only cover—and how easily that cover could be removed with a simple swipe of the stranger’s flashlight. I sank further into the valley of terror.
END OF EXCERPT
Why is this excerpt so emotional for you as a writer to write? And can you describe your own emotional experience of writing this specific excerpt? This piece of fiction takes place in my hometown of Norfolk Nebraska. Although this excerpt is fictitious, the town is real as is (or at least was) the location of the abandoned farmhouse outside of town where this excerpt takes place. Although I never hid in the attic of that place while being hunted by someone or something, my imagination often went to those scenarios when I was young and at that location. Now, decades later, my memories are what created this excerpt. It was very emotional to write because writing it took me back to an almost forgotten time from my past. (Above Left: abandoned farmhouse in Nebraska)
Were there any deletions from this excerpt that you can share with us? And can you please include a photo of your marked up rough drafts of this excerpt? I don’t recall having any deletions from this excerpt specifically. This book was written as a mixture of fiction and memories from my childhood growing up in Norfolk, Nebraska. As such, there were many memories that I wanted to relive by including them in the book that later got deleted simply because it slowed the story down. I wanted this book to be an entertaining suspense novel and not simply an archive of personal memories. Unfortunately, I don’t keep old drafts of my work once they’ve been published so I don’t have a marked up version to show you.
