lizwilliamsWe have been having one of those quiet days where one manages to get a great deal done. The shop is closed on Tuesdays in January. My editor has received VANISH and we have set a date to discuss new proposals - Macmillan may or may not want to go ahead with this, but that's a future topic. The next Chen book trundles on:
I have not joined Novel in 90, although I think it's a great idea. However, it's close enough to my own approach (I am on a 2K a day minimum word count for the Chen book, with weekends off unless I feel like it) for me not to feel a need to join up. The approach does work. I'm disciplined about writing (I have to be) and this book will be done by the spring.
Otherwise it's a deeply fascinating round of recycling, housework, and bulb planting - we are very late putting things into pots, but hopefully not too late. Weather is foul - typical January, with chilly rain and lowering skies. I am about to do a Chinese marinade for a mallard. All of the above activity has been brought to you today courtesy of jasmine green tea. I could give up alcohol, but tea - never.
