Crawley New Cover
I am really going to town on the redesigns of my back catalogue of Novels. Here is the new cover for my first book, Crawley:
Tetanus
At the GP surgery waiting for a tetanus jab so I can start working as a cat socialiser and photographer at the local Animal Centre.
Lore - New Cover
The new cover of my 2018 novel, Lore. More new book covers coming soon as I tidy up my backlog...
Familiar - Draft 1 Completed
It has been a busy and very productive month. I'm really enjoying my day jobs - probably the first time I have ever enjoyed my paid employment. I've applied to help out at the local cat sanctuary. The 1st draft of my next book is complete. I have even got the cover for it sorted after my Canva course at Gower College last week! The year is definitely ending way better than it began. And, best of all, my daughter is coming home for a few days next month, so I have something very special to look forward to... 🙂
Storm Bert
A really atmospheric storm bludgeoned the house all day, conjuring just the right mood to add a big chunk of writing to the novel I'm currently writing, Familiar.
Three Quarters...
As things stand, I am about 3/4 through my 9th and final novel(la). Whilst I am no longer aiming to reach the word count set by Nanowrimo, I am on target to complete thecfirst draft of the book, which is a massive takeaway for me from the project.
Another UnXpected Turn
I've reached a decent stage of my novel, Familiar. So much so that I no longer feel it necessary to reach my daily word count for Nanowrimo.
I have now reached the stage of the book where I am happy just to write one scene of the book a day. I think this will be sufficient to finish the novel(la) by the end of the month. 🙂

Cracking On.
I woke up this morning feeling quite concerned that on Day 10 of Nanowrimo, I would fail to meet my minimum word quota for the day. At circa 17k words, I literaly had no idea what would happen next in the novel.
It's a difficult task completing Nanowrimo - its targets are ruthless, especially when you are holding down a full-time job. Forcing the narrative, conjuring the plot from the ether can take time, you'd naturally think. But the way this novel clicked together today, really made me appreciate that my muse really rewards the hard graft of daily writing.
When you're fingers bleed,
you're muse will lead.
