Howdy folks! I am about 5k behind on the word count but I’ve found a vein of a story that I am building from. It’s gone from being random novellas to what will be a book two in a series. I don’t know where this series will go yet, but the first book was a lot of fun to write and it was my 2020 NaNo project. I’m not too bothered about being behind, I know I can get 50k in a month. My focus is more getting a workable story done, or at least the bones of one and I am getting a half decent idea of where I want to take this second book. Before I started on it recently I had no ideas how I was going to do a sequel. Don’t get me wrong I’ve got ideas about some of the elements I want to put in there, but I hadn’t really sat down and thought about it. I’m also being reminded that I’m a bit of a discovery writer and I learn the story as I ‘m going. I feel I’ve got away from that a little so it’s feeling good writing like that again.

The month is going a little slower than I’d like but a head cold has led to little sleep which has knocked me off my feet a little. But it’s settling down a little so I’m going to try and get back in the flow of it next week. I saw next week as I have my daughter this weekend so she’ll be my focus. I might write after she’s gone to bed tomorrow and after I’ve dropped her home on Sunday but my time with her is more important.

Right, I am going to get some words wrangled before going off out with my partner for a few hours.

How are your writing projects progressing.
