Flu. It’s not funny.<\/h4>\n

A few weeks ago I was in the dumps because of our friend the flu. Felt horrible, awful, and didn’t get up for 5 days.<\/p>\n

\"\"Of course I need to add here that I did not get a flu shot. I only got those twice and each time I got violently ill. Blaming the shots for that was a bad idea apparently, because this time I got seriously ill with the vicinity of a shot.<\/p>\n

Crazy ideas.<\/h4>\n

Apparently my brain was in turmoil for a while during those first 5 days of badness. At some point – I don’t exactly recall when but that doesn’t matter – I almost woke up from an avalanche of images that had been churning through my head and that sort of gave me an idea for a new naturist story. I grabbed my notepad (always have one next to the bed) and scribbled down what I could remember of the idea. Then I collapsed into the void of the flu once again.<\/p>\n

\"crazy<\/p>\n

Historical fiction.<\/h4>\n

So far the books I wrote and am writing are in the fantasy and science fiction realm. I love those two genres and I think I can do them pretty well.<\/p>\n

\"historical<\/p>\n

This new idea is in the Historical Fiction<\/em> genre. For those who aren’t aware of what that it, historical fiction describes things from history (obviously). Usually it involves well known places or people. Think for instance of books about King Arthur, Jeanne d’Arc, a war, or perhaps even the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The story doesn’t have to deal with that actual event but the event can take place during the course of the story. It’s that easy to write historical fiction, but it also makes it difficult because you have to get the facts right. Anyone can believe a bug-eyed, yellow monster coming from Pluto to devour our clothes, but for instance claiming that Marilyn Monroe always appeared naked on the set of her films… most people know that’s not true.<\/p>\n

The story in my head<\/h4>\n
\"The
The naked veil<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The story I came up with in my flu-ridden dream doesn’t deal with any of those subjects. So far it doesn’t feel<\/em> like a difficult or complicated story, more something light and easy; something short.<\/p>\n

I am definitely going to develop that idea\u00a0 and see where it leads me (and you). So far the future of the story is still in veils, as is the naked lady on the right. She’s from the right era of my story, I think, so for a while I’ll keep her as the mascot for the new book.<\/p>\n

I’ve never thought that I would ever find a way to write something in the historical fiction genre concerning nudism\/naturism. No matter how this story will end up, I’m thrilled that something actually appeared for it.<\/p>\n
