Writing Activity: Rehearsed and revised talk on 'My Journey to Publication'
Made notes on ideas for future novels Just Read: 'Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know' by Ranulph Fiennes Currently Reading: 'Terms of Enlistment' by Marko Kloos Writing Activity: Gave a talk/Q&A via Zoom for Cheadle Library, Staffs, to
mark World Book Day on March 4th Reviewed and revised book talk as prepared for cancelled talk last year - now to be given via Zoom to a different audience. Just Read: 'Tombland' by C.J.Sansom 'Night of the Living Trekkies' by Kevin D Anderson and Sam Stall Currently Reading: 'The Death of Kings' by Michael Evans Writing Activity: Put the novel on the back-burner for a week or so. It
often helps to leave WIP aside for a while - easier to spot errors and typos when I come back to it later. Started writing U3A talk on What Space Exploration Has Done For Us. Currently Reading: 'Harold: The Last Anglo-Saxon King' by Ian W. Walker Writing Activity: Completed latest redraft of SF novel; began work on my
own queries and quibbles. Continued sourcing pics and information for U3A talk Just Read: 'Sword of Kings' by Bernard Cornwell Currently Reading: 'The Goblin King' by Katherine Addison Writing Activity: Continued work on SF novel (redraft number 4). Still work
to do and improvements to be made, but 'Unreachable Skies' took about 14 drafts before final version - and even then there were additional corrections to be made once the publisher's line-editor took a look! Sourced more info for U3A talk Currently Reading: 'Neither Here Nor There: Travels in Europe' by Bill Bryson Writing Activity: Back in the writing routine - writing each weekday
morning, usually for a couple of hours. Continued work on SF novel - reading it through again and correcting discrepancies, as well as adding scenes and working on character 'voices' and quirks. Started research for another U3A talk, this one on 'What Space Has Done for Us' Just Read: 'The Oxford Mystery' by Faith Martin 'The White Ship' by Charles Spencer' 'Fluency' by Jennifer Foehner Wells Currently Reading: 'Queen of the North' by Anne O'Brien Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!
Here's hoping for a much busier and more sociable 2021! Writing Activity: Notes and tweaks - winding down towards Christmas. No
deadlines to meet right now, so letting a few ideas settle and ferment. Just Read: 'The Castle Mystery' by Faith Martin Currently Reading: 'Vicious' by V.E Schwab Writing Activity: Continued work on 4th draft of new novel.
Started noting ideas for next year's U3A talk on 'What has Space Exploration Done for Us?' Currently Reading: 'Wars of the Roses: Bloodline' by Conn Iggulden |
