Pottering on, writing my story.
🧩🙃

If I keep procrastinating, you'll see pugs. 🫣🐾

Grecophile. 🇬🇷
It's still alive!

Life getting in the way (plus my procrastination).

Spaghetti stylee (think writing, plotting and line editing with half the plot still decided or written - that's 🧩 'clever' chaos for ya 😉) ...

10k of clean draft reached.

Onwards.

No pugs yet, so you know I'm still battling away. 🙃🐾

So. On what I'm calling my 'clean draft', I've reached an edited 9k.

Into Chapter 3 I go.

Story update: 2,200 words. Time to speed up in Jan. Every day, I plan to read + write 'something' every day, however small.

Come on!

Update: Those who follow will remember I've used AI to structure my plot.

It's been useful but become counter-productive (imo), so I've pivoted to this draft rinsing out anything that isn't my idea/voice. Lesson learnt, I guess.

So, this revised draft is inching its way to 1k of the 13k written.

My story that wants to be a novel when it grows up: my 13k words are all tidy tidy and line-edited.

Now for more thinking on the way forward.

Throwback to first non-parent, with girlfriend, holiday. Italia 1986, crazy clothes, EastEnders extra filming and carbonara for breakfast, while Tracy took over the 🇮🇹 airwaves with her Italo-Disco banger. ☀️

I think I've reached Chapter 20 on the editing. Interspersed with ripping the plot about, swearing and generally tarting it up.

What a lark! 😆

Chapters 7-11: tweaked and edited.

Next draft WILL need extra write-in, to balance word count of chapters and overall, towards 30k.

The final third of draft is yet to be written.

Onwards. 👍
