March - It's Almost Over!
Here's the first book related post of March - and we're already 3/4 of the way through it.........
Yeah - time does fly!
It never used to when I was, how shall we say, working a 'proper' job.
Then, especially during the afternoons, the time dragged like a b*tch - every day!
Now it gets to 16:30 hours before I get even half of what I had planned completed!
It's been 5 years now since I did that last trip back from Bradford - yeah, I can't believe that figure either.
5 years - get outta here.....😯
Book 6 is currently carrying around 46k words.
It's been fun re-visiting the lives of Alex, Dan and Annie.
Another week or so in their company and it'll be time to put them to one side once again and head back to the Bozeman Trail with another edit of Book 5.
I need to complete two more full edits (taking around a month each) and run through the list of over-used words etc by the end of July.
It sounds a 'comfortable' enough time-frame, but we all know what happens to the 'best laid plans of mice'n men,' eh? 😀
As the suns shining in through the window I'll leave you with a few pics of a place which has become a favourite - Galveston, Texas - and, God willing, will be the start of this years book tour.
With 30+ miles of beach, great seafood and a sea temperature in the 30's what seriously not to like? 😀😀
Wishing you all a great weekend.
Stay safe out there..........
Cheers.

The exciting journey of a new author.
Hi.
Thanks for stopping by & reading.
I'm not going to make any rash promises about updating this with daily posts, but I'll try to make it more frequent than once a week!

Within in these blogs enteries I'm going to post updates on my writing/editing process as it develops.
Hopefully it will of interest to someone. Especially a person who's considering making the transition themselves from reader to author.
Have a good day! ...more
