Every little helps
I finished the first draft of Entrapment this week. There’s still a long way to go – one thing I’ve discovered about myself in the last year is that I tend to write quite short first drafts. They have the main story, all the main characters, all the key beats, but they’re a bit thin. […]

Sneak preview
Monday was a very odd day. In a very good way, but a very odd way. Because Echoes, a book which I am currently querying (current scores on the doors are 1 rejection and 9 deafening silences) and so is some way away from being published was discussed on the latest episode of The Failing […]

Querying
So, I’ve been writing queries…

Is this it?
So I think I just finished editing Echoes… It’s been more than a month since I last posted on Twitter with #200WordsADay, more than a month since I wrote 200 words of anything new, almost a month since I last posted here moaning about how much I hated editing. Since then I’ve been editing and […]

Writing wise, I’ve been writing Entrapment (which is now at about 12,000 words) and begun some editing on Echoes, as well as entering the Globe Soup 7 […]

External validation
I always planned to post today because I didn’t at all last week, but that’s kind of because (on the writing front, at least) there isn’t much to update on. Not that I’m not busily writing (because I am!) but I’m still waiting on feedback about Echoes and contemplating the edit which, to be honest, […]

Progress update
So on Sunday I got to this point: which is exciting! What’s more exciting is that I’m now reading it through and, surprisingly enough (it surprised me!) I don’t hate it. I’m starting to get a bit excited that I might have something here… Watch this space…

My writing week
Bit disappointed in last week, which was about 4,500 words in total and I’ve fallen behind the pace I was trying to set. I could try to catch up, but I’ve learned a few things since (kind of) properly committing to #200WordsADay and one of those is… well, here’s the process I seemed to have […]
