Another short post about not much
So, I’ve reached 233,253 words towards my Get Your Words Out challenge of 200,000 words in a year. Having cracked the target, I’m feeling very demotivated towards writing any more, which is something of a drawback. Next year, I can see I will have to aim for 250,000.
That gives me two completed new novels – one of which (Too Many Fairy Princes) is out on submission to publishers, one (The Pilgrims’ Tale) is with my agent and I’m hoping to get back with editing suggestions this month.
I’ve also done 101,000 words on The Glass Floor, and am still enjoying it. Extraordinary. That should come in at roughly 150,000, so I imagine it will be finished early next year.
I’m writing blog posts like a mad thing for a Blessed Isle blog tour from 31st of December to 7th of January. More about that later.
On completely different news, congratulations to JL Merrow for winning two Rainbow Awards! Outstanding! And couldn’t have happened to a more deserving author.

And it took me ages to work this out. See if you can do better:

Once your organised blog tour for Riptide is over, would you like another Comfy Chair interview? 🙂
I’m so impressed with, and a little bit jealous of, your word count. Since himself retired in July I’ve managed about 15k. He doesn’t MEAN to be distracting, he just is!
I would love one! And you must come over and do an interview on mine as part of your promo for On a Lee Shore. We’re very unbalanced at present 🙂
My husband is at home atm too – unemployed and job hunting – and it really is hard. You feel it’s your job to keep them entertained and fed and companionshipped, cheer them up and cheer them on and find them interesting things to do. And you end up doing that instead of your own stuff.
I’ve finally bitten the bullet and said “Right, I’m off to write for a couple of hours,” every day, and it’s slowly becoming a habit. But it took a lot of determination and still goes to pot easily.
