I had to remind myself that writing is fun. I'm not being forced to do it so why should I slog my guts out? It's not as if I have a deadline. So I've been doing some painting. This is what they reckon England will look like in a few days. I'm not quite sure what's going into this painting but I'm sort of happy with the beginning. I'll probably change it again as I always do, but it relaxes me.
Back to the writing tomorrow. I've reached 32,000words in Kongomato 2. The country's in havoc and I get to kill and maim as many people as I like. The only hard part is moderating it slightly. Remember, there's supposed to be a plot, I keep reminding myself.
I really should finish Hoodies Two. I have only one edit left but as I've just sent Hoodies One away to the Harper Collins competition, my first ever competition entry, I'm going to wait for a while. Who knows. I can be hopeful. I know that hope achieves little in this world, but just for a change I'm going to wait and see.
You are so industrious you make me feel guilty! I like the start of your new painting - hope you show us how it develops.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Will do.
ReplyDeleteYou're kidding, right? You're expecting snow already? Love the new painting. It has lots of character. As for writing, well, when it gets to me I do go off and do anything else or I write some pretty terrible stuff.
ReplyDeleteI haven't sen any sign of it. Your writing's super.
DeleteSnow already? I Don't Believe It!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with the competition I hope someone has the sense to notice just how good your book is.
Thanks but once again I blew it. I didn't receive an acknowledgment of delivery and I found out why; because I hadn't sent the MS in double line spaces. I really should use my eyes occasionally.
ReplyDeleteLast week the BBC said that Britain would be swept by snow this week. Still, it's only Wednesday; plenty of time for blizzards yet.
Awwww :( Can you resend it or is it too late?
