Word count’s now 25,565.
I’m still writing at least every other day, but now also trying to balance final edits for 2 short stories.
Can anyone recommend where to send psychological horror?
Hoping to get a short story published this year…

Thinking about this today.
One word at a time.
To paraphrase Stephen King, it’s that easy and that hard!

Just totted up the ‘ol’ word count: 20,327
Think that’s officially the most words I’ve ever written (including my undergrad dissertation).
First novel’s around a third of the way there… I think.

I’ve either stumbled upon something quite useful OR I’ve reached epic levels of procrastination…
Currently using @Milanote to create MC profiles (with AI-generated pics).
The plan’s to then plot the story.
Any other ‘plotters’ done something similar?

Playing ‘I Spy’ in the car with 5 year-old son, colour edition.
He chose grey.
My unsuccessful guesses included: road, pavement & lamppost.
The answer was: Daddy’s hair.

It might not look much, but this guy’s keeping the frost bite at bay in the garage gym!

Today’s Wordle was a bit on the nose.
Fine.
This is the year I write the book.

A question for the #WritingCommunity: do you rewrite as you go or wait until you’ve finished the first draft?
I’ve already thought about some big changes for Ch 2 of my WIP & am about to start writing Ch 3 🤔… I’m also trying to stick to a word count goal per week!

Tough week this week, what with the little one (still) not sleeping 🥱.
But pleased I’ve managed to hit my 7 day word count target over the weekend 🙌.
That novel’s not going to write itself!

Ham sandwich + Ready Salted crisps = 🤤
A pod member was spotted placing crisps into his sandwich earlier this week & it reminded us how AWESOME crisp sandwiches are!
It got us thinking:
- Do 'grown-ups' still do this?
- What is the go-to flavour?
- Why aren't crisp sandwiches on menus?

Finished reading ‘The Plot’ by Jean Hanff Korelitz last night - a brilliant, dark, psychological thriller. Would highly recommend 👍.
Now onto ‘Dear Child’… 📖

Ok, I’ve been doing some sums…
In order to complete the 1st draft of my 1st novel by the end of the year, I will need to write a minimum of 1600 words per week.
Let’s do this 👍!

So, I'm currently reading 'The Plot' by @JeanHanffKoreli a book about an author who steals a deceased student's plot & turns it into a bestseller.
Then I hear about THIS on the radio this morning... 😱
