OK, point one. I'm on a diet. So any grumpiness from here on in has now been foreshadowed and explained...
Secondly, been a while, sorry.. Up to eyelids donchaknow. Still up to eyelids in fact, but taking a break from it for a few seconds.
Thirdly did a fathers day card for my dear old dad and thought I'd add it here. Raised a smile so hopefully you enjoy it also. Here am it:
Fourthly book writing. Just into the third act as it were now, and started it off with a sentence, just one line, that makes me shudder really. Tbh I think it's a line that will upset a few, because it's a deeply upsetting line, and in the writing it, even though I had long planned this line and this opening to the act, I realise just what it is that I've planned.... Tricksome, really tricky because.. Well, I don't want to give anything away, from the character that this line involves (tertiary char in book 1, pivotal in books 2 and 3) to the reason why it hurts so much... Anyhow, now it's written it's like a block has been lifted from me. Not a writing block per se (although this particular story arc has been somewhat tough to get into) but a weight really. Does that mean I want to change the line? Nope, well, not at the moment anyway. I'll see how it pans out... I'm planned but flexible now that the third act is hitting the page.... But one line has changed it for me, made things more serious (although there is more humour in Dr Sylver 2), and takes us, and Jamie and his friends, down a dark alleyway... As ever I hope you like it when you get to read it. I think you'll know the line I mean.
Currently listening to: Coldplay: X + Y. Hmmmmmm not convinced just yet. Currently playing: Lego Star Wars. Good, brilliant and not as good as it should be in that order.Current socks being worn: As thin as I could find. Dr Sylver chapter title of the week...: Coming soon, when I have a chance to explain myself properly....
