Counting down …
I love a countdown. I really do. The countdown I have presently is my favourite sort. It's not a book release it's entirely for me. My Knight will be home for a holiday soon. It's the best countdown ever and the shortest we've had. So hooray! This week just got busy, especially Wednesday. Appointments all … Continue reading Counting down …
19th Nervous Breakdown
Thanks to the Rolling Stones for the title of today's rambling. 🙂 Actually works quite well. Finishing a novel is a weird time for me. Always has been. The intensity and single focus of getting to the end pushes everything aside and takes over. This is true of [Foxtrot Mike Lima] just like every other … Continue reading 19th Nervous Breakdown
I have to say something …
If you're a frequent flyer reader here then you know that there are occasions when I read a book so dreadful that it becomes a teaching moment. Notes are made. I use the awfulness as an example (of what not to do) for my crime writing class. Who can forget the honey-haired denim-eyed fiasco? This … Continue reading I have to say something …
Friday 13th
Always been a bit of a special day. Good day to do all sorts of things. Especially if you're a bit Wiccan. Anywho, that's not how I spent my day. I spent it elbow deep in [Foxtrot Mike Lima] and I very much enjoyed it. Turns out my first draft isn't a shitty abomination at … Continue reading Friday 13th
And the reading has begun …
Yep, I'm reading [Foxtrot Mike Lima] for the first time as an entire story. So far so good. 🙂 It's always interesting what I have in my head that could be issues compared to what is written. I was pretty sure that I'd skimped on some details/description and whatnot. So far, I have not. That's … Continue reading And the reading has begun …
It’s over rover …
But it's not really over it's just beginning. The initial writing stage is over. Hopefully [Foxtrot Mike Lima] now has 97k worth of bones and sinew and is ready for a little bit of muscle. As much as I want to dive in and start reading this weekend, I am not going to. I am … Continue reading It’s over rover …
Nearly there!
Yep, [Foxtrot Mike Lima] is closing in on the finish line. Looks like a finished first draft is going to be this week not the end of October at all. Definitely coming in well before my original thoughts of late November. Joyful! I am very much enjoying writing this book.I have said that for every … Continue reading Nearly there!
The Tide Is High
There's been a lot of writing happening here over the last few weeks. So much so that this new book will be a complete "first draft" sometime in October. I was aiming for late November. It's gone places I didn't think it would. There is more than one surprise in this story. I love when … Continue reading The Tide Is High
Do you ever?
Do you ever check which country visitors to your website are from? I do it everyday. Depending on the country my mouth will engage and loudly say, "Well you can fuck off." Certain countries are a precursors to bad shit going down. How's that for a generalisation?Usually if I see a particular country lurking on … Continue reading Do you ever?
