At last I have made it to the Wain Stones which is a setting in my book. It has been a place that has fascinated me for such a long time.
Also knows as the 'Kissing Stones' for obvious reasons, I felt the place had a special significance for my characters because of the way they the stones are frozen in the anticipation of a kiss. I always pictured this as my characters first date. Anyway I made it and now I have to attempt the first draft of this scene. I have 'page' fright as it's a big scene in a romance book - the first kiss, that is!
This is a rugged hard landscape and my thoughts are to draw symbolic parallels with the inner landscape of Alex.
It is important that Alex feels alive and at peace with this landscape and that Pan senses this in him.
The finale need to be the kiss but I like the idea that the stones are at once hopeful and sad; they anticipate the long awaited kiss and yet they are frozen apart, never to actually touch. It's kind of tragic and romantic all at the same time.
