Okay, so I’m going to make an attempt at the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). this involves an attempt to write a new novel, or at least the start of a new novel, involving fifty thousand words, in the month of November. To make any sort of realistic attempt on this target I need to […]
Unwelcome Visitors is currently getting all of the attention. Currently standing at thirty-three thousand words. we’ve progressed to now know the situation in the neighbouring village, and its not good. Our hero has resolved to investigate and is, even as we speak, en route to do so. One of the sub-villains, the heroes’ current boss […]
Just realised that it’s been such a long time since the last entry. In my own defence I’ve been busy with all sorts for the last few months, but now I’m getting back on track and will be keeping this site much more up to date. Done a bit of work on the Luck is […]
Coming along steadily, I topped 31k words today, so that’s a nice feeling – it’s progressing. Marc and Lucy are off on their own little adventure, SC is having some success in her nefarious deeds, so she’s feeling happy and we’re just at the point where Lofty and Mannie are thinking about making some […]
Well, Marc and Lucy are off on their big journey – or at least the first of their big journeys. I rather think they’ll have to take at least one more before they’ve finished. I do think that this might be a tad more adventurous than they anticipated. But I also think I’ll need to […]
Looking good, a quarter of the way through, just passed twenty thousand words this evening, when you can get into the habit of writing every day the words just seem to flow. Definitely good advice to make a point of putting some words out on a regular basis. All of the pro writers seem to […]
Had a lazy few days when I hardly managed a few hundred words, but topped 1800 today so I’m feeling a bit pleased with myself. It helps not having any real-life tasks to see to for once. I’ve no idea how people with full-time jobs could manage to complete a full novel, although quite a […]
Now got over 10k words and the story is coming together reasonably well. I have my usual target of about 80k words and if I can keep the daily total in the region of 1,000 to 1,500 per day I should be there or thereabouts sometime in September. There’s already been more action in this […]
Had a re-think, maybe I need to do more research on the crime writing front. I’ve made a start on the story, but I keep getting bogged down in what I suspect are unnecessary details and I’m not yet clear what to do about that. In the meantime, I’ll return to the second in the Leprechaun series […]
Crime writing is somewhat new to me so things are going to take a while to develop but at least I’ve got five thousand words down since I started it. Current title is ‘Linked Secrets’ although that might change later. A DCI and a DS are running the case, but they still don’t know who […]
