Five chapters in...

Don't worry, I'm not going to fill you in on the daily details of my re-write (unless you reeeeeally want me to), except to say that it's proving to be not quite the nightmare I thought it might be and I am actually enjoying it! I've even made a pledge with someone to ge up at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning - a m0ment of over-eagerness or a new beginning? Watch this space....

The rewrite begins in earnest...

Remember me? I'm the guy who promised he would post to his blog on a regular basis...

Well in my defence, I have actually been writing. As well as the 'top secret' project that is ongoing in the background, I have just, following the feedback from a literary agent, an editor and my ever-trusted proofreader M, started another re-write of my novel 'Burning Matches'. I spent last week working on the structure and reworking the character motivation and am now apply these changes to the actual text of the book. Will let you know when my brain implodes!
