No Title

HAPPY NEW YEAR

We went away for Christmas this year, staying in a hotel in Devon. We did lots of walking after every meal so neither of us have put any weight on – which has to be good. Therefore no need for a New Year’s resolution to lose weight (except that I really could do with losing a few pounds) And now I have my head down trying to finish Vidal and Elena’s story – still half a book to go and my deadline is the end of January. With my rate of words per day it will be hard going. Nevertheless I’m sure I shall deliver on time.

I’ve also vowed to myself that I’ll try and blog more frequently than I did in 2008. Even if it’s only to tell you my word count for the day. And any time now I’ll be setting a new contest.

So – Happy New Year to everyone, may it bring you peace and happiness.

I’m feeling much better now and have managed to get back into my writing – which is good – except that I’m not halfway through the story yet and it’s deadline is the end of January. I’m facing a big black hole in the middle. I wish the Christmas fairy would wave her magic wand and help me through it. I know how it’s going to end but what’s going to happen in the middle is still a mystery. At least Vidal and Elena are happy in their m-o-c. Perhaps that’s the problem. Are they too happy? I think it needs some deep thought.

Bug

  • Posted on December 12, 2008 at 7:14 pm

I’ve not been feeling well all the week. I caught a bug that’s spreading across the country, starting off with sickness and a stomach ache, turning into a cough and cold that will not be shaken.

I’ve done no writing so have nothing to report. Poor Elena and Vidal must wonder what’s happened to them. They’re stuck on the second day of their arranged marriage wondering where it’s going to take them.

I must get back to them soon.
