Not NaNoWriMo – Part 3

Hello literature fans, I’m back with the third of my ‘novels that I definitely won’t be writing’ in honour of my non-participation in NaNoWriMo.

Today I’m taking things to the dark side as I present:

The Scary Gardener

Horror always does quite well doesn’t it?

And even if it’s a genre I don’t particularly enjoy myself, I’m certainly happy to cash in on its popularity.

As with my other non-novels, I haven’t got quite as far as thinking up a plot for this particular oeuvre.

But it’s going to be genuinely scary. And probably feature some sort of a gardener.

I’m out sure whether I’m going to go for a more subtle form of horror and slowly build up the tension in a predominantly real world setting which features a gardener who is a little bit sinister or go for a full-on theatrical over-the-top piece with a supernatural gardener and horticultural horrors such as tree that eat people.

Hold on!

Trees that eat people?

I’m scaring myself as I write this!

A sure-fire hit if ever I heard one.

The Tale of the Mistaken Twin

        Is that some cryptic clue the next one off the production line will be something along the lines of JAMES’ GUIDE TO INEXPENSIVE HOMEPLUMBING SOLUTIONS ?

        Now I know you’re being cryptic!
        But I think I’ve worked it out.
        Next one coming is JAMES’ GUIDE TO HANDLING LIFE’S DISSAPOINTMENTS.

    I think you’re on to something. Those trees in that Harry Potter film terrified me.

    ha ha, This series of not NaNoWriMo is entertaining. If I may suggest – “go for a full-on theatrical over-the-top piece with a supernatural gardener and horticultural horrors such as tree that eat people” 😉
