( 2.9 / 63 )Ah, the snow, the snow, the snow. It keeps coming down like the bastard it is and refuses to go away, instead preferring to turn into clear hard black ice on the doorstep when a fella's just popping out for a smoke.
Ho hum.

( 3 / 64 )Ah well, it's that time of the month again; three days before payday, and the machine no longer likes my card. Ho-hum.
Friday is payday, and more to the point, it will be a slightly richer payday than normal, pay-rise last night and bonus tonight. W00t! And then of course, ym vastly reduced rent at Plymouth Road taken into account, and the bond that is (allegedly) going to be returned to me from Duke Street, and January should be a pleasingly replete month.
For tonight, however, I'm going to take advantage of my nicely expanded floor space, get out all my little index cards and get the novel planning back on track. I'm now at fifty-thousand words and have not yet introduced the villain. this should not be.
Ho-hum. Sing ho for the life of a bear.

( 3 / 77 )Well, here I am again. Gradually settling into life at Plymouth road, and resuming writing, as well as a bit of editing.
Wordcount as stands, 48431.

( 3 / 81 )Hello children.
I just want to say that you, with your puny human bodies, can have no possible conception of how tired I am right the hell now. I've got move moving related stuff to do, I'm utterly exhausted.
But the house is lovely, and will get lovelier-er-er. Will post pix in time.

( 2.9 / 64 )Moving house next week. w00t! Will post new address up here, and then will completely drop out of view as I wait for my internet to be connected.
During that time I'll be working at course, so I should still be contactable by e-mail. I'll post my new phone number, when I get it.
I'll also be working on Coldtouch and Dark, as well as, maybe, some music, with Dan.
Ciao for now.

( 3 / 65 )My Novel, Coldtouch and Dark, seems to be gradually coming together. There's still going to be some horrible cutting to do, but draft three now has it all: Romance, magic, drama, detection, can-can. Well, maybe not can-can, but only because can-can is hard to do in written form.

( 3 / 84 )Hi all. Seem to have got over my twenty-thousand word hump, and am now back in writing mode again. Wordcount as stands; 40577.
Woo woo!
Still going to be a lot of re-drafting to do, but I'm cracking on now.
I also suspect I'm going to have to do some truly vicious cutting at draft four stage.
I'm beginning to get in the frame of mind to look for manuscript reviewers. I've got a few people in mind, and I'll be e-mailing you all soonish.
Cheers, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

*EDIT* Draft One Stage? Moron.
