Okay, it’s about time I sat down and wrote something for my journal instead of advertising several things. It’s amazing how quickly the weeks pass. Here was me moaning, saying I need to get back in rhythm with my writing, blaming the Xmas holidays and all that. It’s now February. What have I done these past few weeks? Good question… the weather is still cold over here in the northeast. The other day we had some frost. It looked quite nice, especially with the daffodils starting to grow. Jeez, it’s nearly Easter! There’s another excuse not to write for another week… Oh, you want me to answer that.

Okay, I haven’t done much. Barry is sitting at 42k words. Chapter 30. Another 20 or so to go. Fingers crossed I’ll reach my aim of 70k. If I got stuck into it, I could have that done by the end of March. Dangerous Desires, well I succeeded to reach 50k in a month for the ‘nano’. It still needs an ending. That shouldn’t take long to finish. But my Hell of War – actually, I’m still researching this. I have a feeling it’s gonna take a while to write the novel. I want to get all the facts correct – no mistakes! So, why rush it. I have years left in me, yet. I hope!

I’m tempted to start another novel… I know, I need to finish the ones I’m doing. Jeez, you’re a hard bunch. I will.

What else have I done? Oh, yes. I’ve entered two competitions and entered three short stories to magazines. I’ll let you know when I get the rejections. That’s the problem with entering competitions or magazines – the waiting period. It’s worse than waiting for paint to dry. It’s best to forget about them really.

Right, I think I’ve bored you enough now, so I’m gonna dash.
