I’ve not written on here in a while, so here is an update!
Writing/editing is slow, but it’s still happening! I’ve purchased a new laptop which is allowing me to edit/write on the go and get away from the distractions (Rainbow Six) of my main computer.
After a bunch of excellent feedback from the writing group I frequent, I’ve decided to cut my novel’s POVs to a reasonable four. I used to have a few ‘throwaway’ POVs which interrupted story flow and the readers ability to connect with the characters. I was sacrificing everything for the plot, which I now see as foolish.
The positive is that my novel is now in the best place it has ever been and I’m excited to finish it.
However progress is slow due to full time employment and the struggle to stay motivated. Though I must carry on, even if it’s just five minutes some days.

In other news, please check out ‘Blackout’ by Kit Mallory. It’s an excellent dystopian story set in a divided Britain (sound familiar?). She classes it as YA; I class it as excellent.
