Hello all,

This week was good for writing. 

Book Updates

I’ve finally managed to write my way into the flow of Mentor, so that’s going well. It has sprung up to 12,648 words/60,000 (21%, though I’m writing this on Sunday). When I actually started writing this week, the daily average was just over 1300 words, which would ideally place this book to be finished in mid February. This will probably not be the case, though, unfortunately, as I will be busy for the next month or so.

Other Projects

• DON’T SCREAM FIRE IN A CROWDED THEATRE is mostly finished, however it is not yet out on submission. I am deliberating over the ending, and I may send it back to alpha readers to get their thoughts.

• ACHotA has undergone no change (8%)

• Gold Bound has undergone no change (25%)

Other News

• The blog is live, though there are still a few bugs to work out. My website is currently built on Google Sites, which does not inherently have a blog feature, so work on that front is a bit more complicated than for most. As it says, it will contain these writing updates, as well as analyses/reviews, and my general thoughts. Unfortunately, as there is no real infrastructure for this and I don’t know how to code, you cannot follow it. I instead suggest you follow my social media profiles, which will update to notify you of each post.

• As I announced, the word count may dwindle soon. It will be updated every Monday, however I will be busy, so it might not increase by much.

• I’m currently reading ‘The Frugal Wizard’s Guide to Surviving Medieval England’ by Brandon Sanderson. As I’m reading it, I’ve got a lot of thoughts, so I will probably end up writing a review. My GoodReads tally is still at 0/52 – I dnf’d Ocean at the End of the Lane, though will probably return to it soon.
