I have been working, even though I haven't been updating here very often. The work has been slow and it's probably taken me about a month to get down just three chapter ideas. But they're very thorough chapter synopsises. Because I'm writing about a real historical figure (which means I am still working on The Siblings Come To Power) I want to make sure I research every detail thoroughly. The good thing is that I am writing about a time in George Boleyn's life when very little is known about what exactly he was up to. Which means my imagination is left to run wild, which is what it does best, and all I have to concentrate on is getting the factual events as right as possible. Which considering these events took place five hundred years ago there's a lot of room for debate.

Just today I mapped out the entire book. I knew what parts I wanted to include in the book but was struggling to find a place to end it. I didn't want to run through his entire life because what I'm most interested in are his adolescent years. What made George Boleyn George Boleyn. So it's going to span the first two decades of his life.

I'm having a lot of fun taking my time, letting the story come at it's own pace. Although I have a huge amount of the story already written (from the first draft) there's still a lot of work to be done to make it absolutely perfect. I'm really looking forward to starting to work on it full-time. Unfortunately that's going to have to wait 'til post-baby, though, because I'm due to give birth in the next 9 weeks!
