Hey folks, just an itty-bitty update today as I'm determined to make the best use of the limited time I have to write wordz that count towards my completing an actual third manuscript, but I realise it's been a while and I'm overdue a blog post. I'm now fourteen full chapters through this latest WIP (which is approx halfway through, hence this blog post's title) and adding to that very, very slowly, but I have less of a sense of urgency now as there's still been no movement on the sale of The Scribes. No publishers are breathing down my neck for a followup and so I feel at liberty to take my time and enjoy exploring other passions and interests. That said, this draft will be a finished book in the next year. I know myself and how I operate well enough at this point that its inevitable. I'm still frequently thinking about the plot and the first thing I think of whenever I'm faced witgh a chunk of free time is to get some writing done in it. I'm in a bit of a procrastination valley at the moment - an enthusiasm drought - but this happens to be standard for me. I'm an author right down to my bone marrow and I'll be trying to tell stories forever. That's just how it goes.
So yeah... off to get a couple paragraphs down while I can. This week's recommendation is filtering blue light. Yeah, weird one I know, but get yourself a pair of blue-light filter glasses - I'm wearing a pair right now - if you spend any amount of time at all in front of a computer screen. Studies have shown it's better for your eyes and can result in better sleep. Also go into the display settings on your phone or mobile device and crank the blue light setting right down (sometimes just called 'night mode').
Talk at you again soon. Be good!
