To try and get myself blogging more I thought I’d try a new ‘Wednesday word count’. I’m not even sure if it’s Wednesday or not, because it feels like every day has been stuck on Sunday for about a week. But the calendar insists that it is. So who am I to argue?

Right now I don’t think there’s been much change in terms of the word count going up from my last post (I reckon it’s around 49K or so). I’ve managed to finish the first draft of chapter 21 (I’m aiming for 30-ish) and it took a few days of bashing away at things before my brain started to make words that fitted together. But hopefully, I’m starting to get back in the zone. The bad news is that term starts again next week, so my burst of new-found enthusiasm might be short-lived. But with a bit of luck I should be able to get up to chapter 23 by the weekend.

So yeah, this is a reboot. I’m having another crack at my 500-word-a-day plan.

Happy new year!
