This week’s progress report reveals I’m now 19799 words into the second rewrite. It’s been a bit of a bitty week with various appointments here and there as well as necessary work in the garden, so the writing has not been the only draw on my time. I’m still enjoying the process, and hope to do a lot more this week. It’s interesting how the odd piece of news reporting, or the tweets and blog posts of others can stimulate new ideas and sponsor small changes as the work progresses. I’m improving the story due to such influences, and increasing the layers that deeper readers will enjoy discovering.
Hopefully, if you’re a writer, you’re having similar success: I hope so, anyway. Let me know.

Ah, well, Simon, having worked full time, whilst also writing, for 49 years, I’m now also living a life, you see!

Much slower progress here, Stuart, but I know by now that you have the envious knack of being able to ignore distractions and write a lot faster than me!

I may write fast, Mick, but I struggle to ignore distractions: there are so many interesting and attractive options when you’re sitting at a keyboard with a screen in front of you! Keep up the good work.

Finding time to write is hard. I know what you mean there, but I love writing scifi!

Me, too. But I have only a thin excuse about writing time, as I’m now retired from full time work!

There’s not much excuse there, I would be writing if I wasn’t working! 😃
