Just because I've not been posting here much does not mean I've discovered the joys of housework ...
As well as daily pieces on Thinking Ten - some of which are episodes of
'Just cause' which has reached 10,000 words - and weekly episodes of
'The blacksmith's wife' (2,500+ words) - I have sent my final, fifty-first, piece off to
MuDSpots (I think I've only missed one prompt in the year) and am just embarked on a daily post for
100 days of summer. This is imagery rather than writing, based on Orkney, and I am using the opportunity to revisit both photography and art work and ally it to the poetry of George Mackay Brown, long a favourite of mine but recently neglected.
'Not wanted on Voyage' is currently on the back boiler, awaiting a major re-write - I'm deliberately 'resting' it so as to come to it afresh and have several ideas to move it forward - and the as yet untitled follow-up (filed as 'Susannah') stands at 49,000.
What I am working on, and have been since the last week of June, is 'Moving on', the follow up to 'Damage limitation'. I've added some 18,000 words and have ideas for more. Still only halfway at 56,000 words.
What I am
not likely to be doing this year is NaNoWriMo - I really do not want to start
another novel!
Oh - and I am off to Kansas in just over a week for a third gathering of folk from Six Sentences.
