Writing weekend.

So I've made the most I can of the bank holiday and got down to some serious writing, I'm up to 16,000 words typed up and I did another 10 pages of hand written work yesterday afternoon so with any luck that's another 2,000 words.

I had vowed to write this book directly into the computer after writing the entirety of the previous one by hand but I just find that there are far too many distractions on the computer. The difference is this time I'm trying to keep up with typing the work up as I go along rather than doing the whole thing once I've finished.

I'm hoping to hit the 20,000 mark at least by the end of today so that I can return to work happy. Hope you've all had a great bank holiday, did you get up to anything nice?

New Novel

Hey all!

Sorry for the two months absence, work's been a bit busier so haven't had as much spare time. I have however began a new writing project that I've had in mind for a while now, I'm fairly excited about it and have began writing, it's a futuristic/post-apocalyptic YA novel. So far I've written just over 12,725 words and am loving where it's all going!

The general gist of the book:

It's 2035 and sixteen year old Lyna believed nothing worse could happen after society fell apart but then her dad's murdered. Whilst battling with grief, anger and a surprising new love her strength shines through as she fights to take down those responsible.

So I will keep you posted on how it's going, I've put a little progress bar at the bottom of the page jut for a little fun and to keep track of how it's all going.

Now I'm off to get on with it and stop procrastinating! :)

Getting on with work

Sorry for the silence over the last couple of days believe it or not I've actually been getting on with some work. I've spent the last few days trying to decide who to send my manuscript to, I've been looking through the list of agents trying to figure out who would be most suitable and who I would like to represent my work, so an interesting few days.

I have also been in work for a few extra hours as the cafe owners little boy hasn't been too well, and I got my hair cut yesterday, it's quite a bit different it's gone from shoulder length to short but I like it :)

So that's my random few days, now I'm off to polish up my covering letter and synopsis ready for dispatch to agents, wish me luck!

A Gaming Day

So I've been very naughty today and probably avoided doing everything I was meant to do, I have spent all day playing World of Warcraft. I admit it is one of my favorite ways of avoiding doing anything useful like writing and other work but we've all got to relax once in a while haven't we?

Okay so maybe playing World of Warcraft for eight hours straight is rather a long time but it was good fun! :) Even though I haven't managed to do any more writing today I have managed to level my dwarf paladin character another 20 levels, my head is feeling a little strange now after staring at the screen for so long so I'm afraid I'll leave today's update at that and go find some dinner.

Hope you have all had a good weekend and are feeling nicely refreshed for a new week at work.
