Writing Update for August 2008

Work continues apace on GUERRA, got the first draft to around 75,000 words and in the final stretch now.

It is wierd to think that after Freya Rose was born I managed to write 30,000 words in about 7 or 8 weeks and in the many months that followed have only just managed to match that over the entire time – I’m still not sure how I managed to write an average of 20,000 words a week when I was writing from 12am to 3am most nights in between baby feeds but perhaps the regularity helps.

I’m continuing to push ahead with it though and am enjoying writing the story loads which is a good sign at least.  I don’t think there will be a huge amount of work for draft two but I plan on putting the work aside for a month or so once draft one is done (aiming to get this done by my birthday in November) then revising it.

Other than that I have several short story ideas which I need to flesh out a little more before writing but with time as limited as it is just now I’m tending to focus on the n*vel length stuff, at least for the time being.
