I've decided to do a daily blog/diary on the highs and lows, joys and frustrations of being an Indie Author.

So here's the first.

November 3rd.

Another day of finger in the air and hope book promotion. It often feels like shouting at a bus filled with deaf people from across a busy road, but I'm still struggling to discover the alternative.

Navigating plot lines in Book 2 of The Stobes Trilogy - The Assassinator, has been like crossing a lake of treacle wearing a steamed up welders mask.
They say never work with children and animals. Well, it's nothing compared to working with Stobes, Darkinbads, Cribbit Snocklers and Topsiders.!

Far too many cups of tea and packets of Mini Cheddar's have been consumed - again.

Next doors cat has beaten me in a staring contest - again.

Posted a Tweet about a new petition at Chang.org to try and stop Phil Collins coming out of retirement.

Read some Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett for inspiration. It only made me realise how high the bar is, if you want to be a good writer.
