On goes the attempt to work on multiple books at once, with the intention that one might stick...
...or I end up finishing all of them at the same time.
Either way, I'm fine with that! 😅
On Thursday, I tried out working on one title per hour. It worked to a certain extent, but I'm easily distracted, so maybe a five minute gap to plod and fuss about the flat may help before starting the next hour if I do this again.
Today is Saturday, so I'm sat in my comfy chair, with a hot chocolate because it's overcast outside, and trying to outline a Christmas Romance.
I've taken my other romance (originally deemed a 'Chicklit' but that isn't used as a name anymore, I think I read), a very Kinsella type story, and set it at Christmas. It works well, but I never outlined the whole thing, but did write about 5k or more of it.
So that's a rework and a plan to do.
And I feel festive, especially with the hot chocolate writing fuel next to me.
Yesterday, I began writing what I had decided for the Catchoak Horror/Suspense novel so far. I think I like it, and it's following one of my most favourite characters from the Phobia short story collections: a certain journalist by the name of Danny Bosh (he features in 'Everything's Blue in Fallowhills' and also 'Deep Feed').
Earlier in the week, I dug into my Cosy Mystery, which is a rather massive rewrite, so plenty to be getting on with there. 😅
And about the Children's High Fantasy, the results aren't in yet, but I'll be sure to share them once I hear back from all who I sent it to.
Just a note for those who aren't writers and may not know, but submission responses can take anywhere from a week to twelve weeks and yes, it's quite a long time, and no, no one enjoys the wait of it.😄
Right, here in England it's almost time for tea, so I'm off to eat and watch Birds of a Feather on UKTV Play with my bloke.
Have a great weekend!
