Just a little bit excited today as I hit the agreed word target by end of 2015 that I’d been aiming for. The 100 thousandth word was the very exciting ‘and’.

The only trouble is, the novel isn’t near finished. It’s looking like another 25-30 thousand words before I have a complete draft. I have no doubt a decent editor will trim it back to well under 100K but that’s all part of the fun process called writing.

So I hope to be at re-drafting / editing stage by May or June everything going well. A huge thanks to those who have offered to be on the initial team of ‘ideal readers’ to provide feedback on the second draft. If you like gaming / sci-fi and could devote some time to reading an unpublished manuscript in the second half of 2016, send me a message and I’ll let you know what’s involved.

I hope 2015 was as good as it could be for you, and that 2016 is even better. Thanks for all your support so far with this writing journey.
