As I wrote last week, I'm even closer to finishing the novel now. I have managed to write another three thousand words this week.
Although I reported that I had another idea for a novel, after a workshop on Tuesday, I now have another one. The initial idea must be put on the back burner for a few months. A little teaser, it involves mince pies.
Before Tuesday evening's workshop story plot revelation, I had purchased two entries to the latest Bath Flash Fiction Competition. That means writing two 300-word stories in time for the February 4th midnight deadline. I really should sit and work through a couple of plots over Christmas.
This week, I managed to print out 'Beasting Dartmoor'. It was quite a sight, 180 pages long and still ongoing. It is now closer to that 200-page mark. I did write a while back that Beasting Dartmoor was a working title. I have been thinking about alternatives and will announce that in the coming months once I have really decided the way to go.
Christmas is the time for giving and receiving presents. Let's think about those not having the best Christmas during these times of national difficulties. Also, this time is for remembering those not with us. We lost my Father and Brother in December past, and I'm sure you will have someone in your thoughts, too.
Like any new year, 2024 is shaping up to be another exciting year. With all my writing goals, we also have several trips booked in 2024. I can't wait for the better weather to arrive so we can go camping again.
Here's wishing you all a Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
Merry Christmas.🎄
Living you best life, Stu. Good for you!
