Successful Weekend

So, I was checking out the competition today, I think mine could definitely slot in around the number 1 spot lol

Well an update on the word count this weekend…. drum roll please… did you guess right….

Saturday I finished on 5,215, today 3,631 so total of £8,846 if that adds up, I’m tired. Grand total of 53,906. they say an average Thriller is approx. 80,000, so the numbers are racking up. I think I am about 5-6k away from the end of the book and then the rest is going to be back content, research etc that I need to add in. My main aim was to get the story down and I left (DO THIS LATER) brackets for stuff I wanted to go back to, I also have all my notes that I need to check when I edit, to make sure the timeline works and characters haven’t discussed something they didn’t know (if you get my drift!)

I started writing this book on the 28th March, I think it was, not bad going.

Anyway I am tired now. My next blog I will try and update my thoughts on the Stephen King book, just got about a chapter to go to finish that. I also might drop a few hints about my book and my plans for the series…

So any publishers reading this, I am nearly ready.

night 🙂

After living in various parts of the UK, including Wakefield, York, Derby, and the Yorkshire Dales, I now live on a Narrowboat cruising the canal network. I enjoy reading, writing, travelling, walking, kayaking, watching all forms of motorbike racing and socialising (networking). At the beginning of my writing journey, I started my blog which tracks the ups and downs of writing. ((I need to mention that my blog posts are usually visited by ‘Brackets’!)) To the books… My fantasy series, Festival of Time was completed with the publication of Book Three: Battle in November 2022 and now joins, Book Two: Rescue, and Book One: Escape. Click ‘books’ on my website to find out more and follow me on social media for updates – I love chatting with readers and authors.
