#wip #writing weekly update. Just did a tiny 500 words on the current manuscript, which I’d allowed for by over-writing 2 weeks ago. Had fun trying a new POV.

Randomly made a few breakthroughs plotting the next book even tho wasn’t meant to be working on it, fixing both the fact my major plot driver was a lady in a fridge, and how the main character copes with mould in his flood prone house. It’s getting very Reanimator inspired, I ain’t mad about that. The dead lady gets to be the POV for the second half of the book.

Gonna call the next book ‘Damp’ which is not coming up as already used on Goodreads/Amazon but seems unlikely, probably just a hard one to do SEO for?

Critique group tonight and it’s my fortnight for feedback, which I’m not feeling great about because I submitted a bit of mess. But they’ll help me fix it! One of the other writers came up with a brilliant framing device for her WIP, so looking forward to telling her how much I love it.

Best thing about having a writing group is a feeling I’m working on five books, not just one. 💜

My masters subject started a week earlier than I expected, as it’s hosted by a different university and I didn’t know they started sooner, so scrambling to catch up. Gotta go back and do a basic #probability subject because of my haphazard approach to post-grad, so at least not too much of a mental load.

#pomeranian meetup in a few hours. 30 fluffy dogs with attitude in a tiny paddock. I’ll try get pics!
