I am always write!

The fun never seems to end in these difficult days, and with the introduction of our new puppy, the focus of the family has changed. Earlier mornings coupled with early nights to compensate have put a premium on time but in a good way. I now make sure that I spend my writing time wisely producing concise prose. A first for me!

Akresha II has moved along well and I am pleased to say that it is on target now. I am producing enough each day to see a real change and witness a positive move forward in both plot and length. I do try not to concentrate on producing a ‘package’ but also understand that there is an expectation of a novel being a given minimum. The new book will be, and I am working on a few new plot twists that will give the work new legs – so to speak. In the mean time, I am looking to publish a couple more pieces I wrote some time ago. This I may do in a different manner to Akresha as I wish to explore other publishing models. the choices are considerable, with the opening up of publishing systems and I fail to see why I shouldn’t take advantage. I also see the amount of work that it takes to self publish a novel. There are no ends to the pit falls so I intend to take my time.

I, like many, am not missing 2020, although 2021 has not shown its’ true colours as yet; but I want to put a positive spin on things. My day job is going well, meaning I can afford to indulge in writing at my leisure, with luck, a more rounded and better produced book. I am in no rush to publish as I have no need of the revenue immediately. My book publishing journey is driven by desire, not financial necessity and my hope is that it will reflect in the quality. That’s not to say that I don’t want it finished and looking all shiny in the advertisements, I do, and I have a dozen more ideas burning holes in my head. They will all find their way out eventually.

I think that is enough for today so please take care, look after yourselves and those around you and keep safe.
