Hi
all,
all,
Half
of last week was taken up with successfully completing National Novel Writing
Month. Apart from a great sense of achievement, that I could actually average
1667 words per day over a month, I also finished with a sore lower back from my
desk chair. The back seems to be on the improve today, after a swim, adjusting
the chair and spending less time sitting in it over the past five days.

On
the last day of NaNoWriMo I got an email from the editor of DiVine magazine
wanting me to write a short article about a research
project into the experiences of students with disabilities at school. I got
up early the next morning and wrote the article and it was up on the site an
hour later. We were both happy with the quick turn around; a nice quick earner.

My
first draft of the novel is probably not halfway written yet. It should end up at
least 100,000 words. At the moment I am 6,000 words into part two of its projected
three parts.

My
plan for the novel seems to working well. Sometimes the characters take the
storyline away from the plan, but they then seem to naturally return the
narrative to my outline.

I
hope to continue writing the novel at about 7,000 words a week. At that rate,
it will be a couple of months before the first draft is finished.
