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 […]
Been away and busy for a while, so this hasn’t been updated recently. But now I’m back and getting stuck in again. Last week we were at the Harrogate Crime Writers Festival. Some very interesting speakers and some very big names – Lee Child, John Grisham, Ann Cleves, Val McDiarmid etc. Plus quite a few […]
The Cold Tale will now take a back burner for a while, I’ve started to work on the sequel to Luck is a Leprechaun. The working title is Luck in a Pickle, but that will probably change as things move on. This will be written in the third person, I’m happier to read works in […]
Some weeks ago I submitted a short story to the Strange Horizon’s website. It was rejected, which was a little disappointing, but not the end of the world. I blogged then that I felt I could quite easily take that short story and make it into a full-length novel with just a few minor changes. […]
The final draft has now been completed and read, with comments. I’ve incorporated all of the comments and corrections that I can. Mrs D was invaluable, as always in this process. It seems the scene in the Jobcentre is simply (and technically) wrong in how those places work, but as the scene covers some things […]
Well (almost) all of the writing has been done. I’m editing and correcting at the moment, which should take a few days and the ending just needs rounding off neatly. The major issue at the moment is the title. Loose Louche simply won’t do so I’m actively considering alternatives. This is actually turning out to […]
I’ve done some sketches of three of the characters, still got some more to do. Lemmie Prunella Senility
