The next few weeks

 

I have been trying to write less about my writing exploits in this blog than I had initially started out and more on varied subjects. I have concentrated more on my writing for the weekly Substack email.

I will be away for a couple of weeks after this weekend, and as it is the beginning of the month, I wanted to update you on my writing plans.

I am rewriting 'Beasting Dartmoor', my first novel draft. At first, it was proving slow, and the motivation needed to be more on point. No worries, I have been back on form these last few weeks. This week's productivity has amounted to several thousand words back into the novel. I'm now close to 11,000 words rewritten. I have taken advantage of my half-hour break at work and have used my time in the evenings. Within the next few weeks, I will have an idea of when I should complete this part of the writing process, and I can then start the next.

My cosy crime novel has taken a back seat to the rewrite. I may be inspired to write more for it over the next few weeks. I also have a short story, which, out of the three projects, is the most pressing. It's strange how 1500 words can take so much time. But I have a deadline, and I must get it done. I also have a plan for a third novel from that short story. 

I have yet to get too far with setting up my website. I might have somebody complete it, but I must consider it more.

I will expand on the plan for the next few months in my Substack this week. 

As I will be away for the next couple of weeks, there may be a few ad hoc blogs during the week. Please keep an eye out for them.

Have a good week, everybody, and many thanks for your continued support of the blog.
