So, book three 'Lay Me Restless' is progressing steadily. I'd argue that you can never write a book quite as quickly as you would like to, but every time I sit down to write at the moment I make progress and it's always between 2000 and 3000 words, so I have nothing to complain about in that respect.
What is very exciting for me though, as a side project I suppose, is that I've finally managed to edit the musical a friend put in my hands a few months ago. I added a few bits of dialogue, pitched a few jokes (which, if he has even a modicum of a sense of humour will dismiss immediately) and rounded off the characters, just gave them a little more life and added a dimension or two to them. Anyway, they were absolutely thrilled with the result. Apparently, and this is the most exciting part of all, they have a producer who's interested in reading the script. Any author will tell you that it's not the easiest thing in the world to get an agent / publisher etc to read your manuscript, so being able to get a theatre and film producer to read the script immediately is pretty good going on the part of my friend. It's an exciting prospect and it'll be interesting to see what happens.
But, enough from me. It's pancake day and batter doesn't make itself!
One author's quest to have his ship pushed in the right direction.
