So, something I have realised about having a passion, lack of sleep! When I get up at 12.30am (having not actually slept due to thinking about plotting and blogging) because I have an idea that I need to get down, no-one told me this it what happens when you find your passion in life! Last day off today before back to work on Monday, so bit of research to do, I plan to start reading the Stephen King on writing, a memoir of the craft to get some tips, probably done loads of things wrong already! I am also going to get some words down on screen! Socialising really takes time away from writing! Word count I plan for today is approx. 1,500, (my current count is just over 24,400) I will update later on what I thought of the book and also word count. Feel free to leave a comment if you want to track your word count, or have any good ‘how to write’ books I should have a look at. 😊
Lack of sleep!

I live in Nottinghamshire, after living in various parts of the UK, including Wakefield, York, Derby, and the Yorkshire Dales. I enjoy reading, writing (of course), travelling, socialising and my new interest is… Kayaking! So far in my writing journey… A Christmas Wish is my third self-published story, which came about after I’d published a Game of Souls in December 2018. I had a lovely chat with a friend of my Aunties, he asked me to write a Novella about a nice spirit. This led to me writing ‘A Christmas Wish’. My short story, A night lost to the past, won third place in the Newark Book Festival 2018 writing competition, which was run by the Fosseway Writers group. This was well received, and many readers asked me to develop and expand the story. I completed regular instalments, which I published each week on my blog. It is now available as an eBook. In 2020 I’m planning to further develop this story into a novel, which will be set in Newark on Trent, in the present day and also in the English Civil War. I'm currently submitting my psychological thriller to agents and publishers. I’m planning to write a series based predominately in York, Jersey, and New Zealand. Book one and two are finished, book three will be finished in 2020; hopefully! In February 2019 I was lucky enough to travel to New Zealand. During my time there I wrote a journal about our 42-day adventure. This will be published in early 2020. I started a blog at the very beginning of my writing journey, it tracks the ups and downs of trying to get published. I need to mention that my blog posts are usually visited by ‘Brackets’ I will let you find out about him when you read it! View all posts by C.L. Peache
