And now for the real work

I've just written 50,000 words in one month!

Will probably have to bin most of it, but even so...

By the way BEDLAM out v. soon!

Less than a week to go

I've got to write 8,000 words in 5 days in order to win NanoWrimo this year. I'm still going to try!

N is for NOVEMBER,NANOWRIMO and NORWAY

On target for NanoWrimo, but only just! I'm planning to write two books this year so this is a good way of accelerating. It's great fun to try and write 50,000 words in a month. I don't know why everyone doesn't do it (!) I've also been doing research for my new novel THE END, which has been fun and of course isn't procrastination. I'm going to Norway on a mini book tour next week, which is great but I think it's going to be even colder than Bridgwater...

I'm also planning the launch of BEDLAM in January with my mate Elen Caldecott, author of the fabulous 'How Kirsty Jenkins Stole the Elephant.' We're going to have a joint launch party as our books are coming out on the same day.
