September

Perhaps if I try a blog post a month I'll manage to keep up. We'll see!

September marks a new beginning for me as I'm now doing just a four day week in my 'day job' thus allowing me to dedicate Friday to all things writing. So a quick update...

The new novel is complete and has gone out to two trusted readers for one final critical bashing before it's submitted. I'm happy with it. I'd say it acheives 80%-90% what I intended when I started it and I'm learning that this is quite a good average. Searching for the last few percent can take forever and in my experience you just never truly get there, perhaps because you're always developing as a writer. I'd be interested to hear what others think on this subject.

I'm now working on something completely different for the next few weeks, something light hearted and quirky before I get back to the heavy stuff.
