Writing Activity: Continued work on U3A talk - notes organised, now
editing words and matching to pictures Edited a 1,700 word short story down to 1,500 words for national U3A competition Just Read: 'Star Trek: Child of Two Worlds' by Greg Cox Currently Reading: 'Great Circle' by Sam Llewellyn Writing Activity: Continuing to make notes and alterations to hard copy
Worked on notes for 'Space Exploration' talk for U3A Just Read: 'Murder at Home' by Faith Martin 'St Crispin's Day' by Griff Hosker 'The Battle for France' by Griff Hosker Currently Reading: 'Nightingale Point' by Luan Goldie Writing Activity: Local repro services are now open, so had a hard copy of
latest draft printed. Hard copy and biro help me see gaps and errors I might miss on a screen - and it's much easier to flick back and forth to check things! Just Read: 'Chains of Command' by Marko Kloos 'Fields of Fire' by Marko Kloos' 'Point of Impact' by Marko Kloos Currently Reading: 'Orders of Battle' by Marko Kloos Writing Activity: Starting another redraft of latest SF novel. Planets to
name, characters to beef up, and a consistent number of main engines to maintain! Just Read: 'Lines of Departure' by Marko Kloos Currently Reading: 'Angles of Attack' by Marko Kloos 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 |
