8th July, 2008

So, it seems that I can’t actually take a day away from writing. Not at the moment, anyway, when I have so many different novels bubbling up inside of me.

I sat down with Shaede today with the intention of getting the first chapter overhauled. It’s the chapter that beta readers have had the most issues with, and I had a few problems myself with it. I managed to get halfway through it (2,552 words). I really wanted to get the rest of it done, but it just didn’t happen. I’m currently in flare and dealing with the aftermath of a nocturnal migraine, and my brain just didn’t want to work any more.

I’m not sure how much editing I’m going to do on Shaede. I guess I’ll just keep going and see how things go. Just working on it has made me enthused about the world it’s set in, and now the two sequels are clamouring for attention. Books, there’s only one of me, dammit. You’ll all have to wait your turn, or find a way to make my brain work for longer periods of time.

That would be awesome. If you could email me their details (azhure AT gmail.com) I'd very much appreciate it! We have a good chunk of sagging ceiling in the kitchen and dining room and we also need to get the living room ceiling stripped back, sealed and repainted (the paint is flaking off from not being sealed and then getting moist) - I was hoping to get someone who would deal with it all.
