Lately I’ve been writing slowly, but almost every day. Although it would help if the fiction writing was all on the same story. Sometimes I work on the second episode of Agent Hammer, sometimes I do a bit of a new story about El Hierro, and today I worked on the rewrite of “Hell Raiser”. It went down pretty well at the critique group. Even better the critiques largely agree, so I know what to do.
The blog about El Hierro now has a total of 4 posts. For someone with no time, that’s not too bad.
I learned how to put a poll on a blog, and added one to the blog about La Palma, asking people what they wanted to see more of. Now I knew fine well that most people wouldn’t vote, but this blog gets an average of 120 visits per day, so I thought I’d get maybe 10 votes a day. I was completely underwhelmed by the response – one vote in the first 24 hours. Oh well. Perhaps there’ll be more later.
I’ve been critiquing a friend’s novel. It’s longer than I expected, and therefore taking up more time than I expected, but I’m thoroughly enjoying it.
I really ought to send off some submissions. Nothing’s going to sell just sitting on my hard drive.
The other thing I’m pleased about is that I’ve been doing a little yoga every morning. Just 10-15 minutes, but I’ve kept it up for 2 weeks and I can feel the difference.
