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 🙂

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!
