Forget Elvis, the Muse is in the building and the words are flowing freely in my current WIP, entitled Dead of Winter. I'm only up to Chapter 5 of the first draft, but the way it's going is encouraging so far.
I tried using the laptop yesterday, and managed to blast my way through Chapter 4, inspite of the technical difficulties. I hate that touch pad/mouse thingie with a passion!! But it enabled me to hang out, outside with the kids and write at the same time. And indulge in my other favourite past-time, sun-worshipping. I know, I know - I'm inviting skin cancer, melanoma, wrinkles and all that ... but the sun is just so nice and warm! Esp after months and months (seven months, actually) of winter.
So for today, my project is Chapter 5. Don't know how much I'll get done, what with running back and forth to the school to pick up kids, laundry, cooking (and eating), and a mission to the shoe store to tackle. Mummy needs a new pair of shoes!
In spite of all the interruptions, both self-created and otherwise, the work seems to be going well, my characters are busy hunting down the killer and I'm patiently awaiting news from Insomniac Press. A new book takes my mind off the wait, and its fun to boot!
