Day 20.

Two thirds of the way there. Ten days to go.

So, I was on the radio today, and that sort of killed the morning, as I took the opportunity to do some research for a book I am collating and had to go to the post office, and did a little bit of shopping. So this afternoon I set myself and managed to get a good few hours of typing done.

Now, I say it killed the morning. But… I wrote a poem. Well, sort of. I re-wrote a poem. I wrote a parody of the C C Moore classic about writing a novel. It was something I could do while I was waiting in the radio station lobby. Took me maybe an hour and a half, but the idea was right there! I love it when a plan comes together! So, of course, with a novel to write, my brain said, “Hey! Here’s a poem!” And I did it.

Stupid monkey brain.

Anyway, this afternoon and the novel. The story is all set-up at the moment, introducing the characters and establishing the religious basis for a lot of the issues that are to come. Slow build, as is my wont. A bad dream to hint at disaster to come, and hints at what happened 21 years earlier.

Not a real lot to report there. More than 5k words in 5 hours of writing, though, so that is a positive. But the biggest thing is – I’ve cracked 100k words! So we are looking at close to what I churned out last year. Apologies to those sponsoring me…

Poem words – 407
