Nine forty five and I really should have put my laptop down by now, I was up at six a.m this morning pushing ahead to get as much done of my new novel by this weekend as i possibly can, I am up to just over 65000 words and as anyone who writes will tell you there are probably 3 different endings in my head and more than likely not one of them will make it to the finish line.
I am going to try and hit home base tomorrow with the last chapter but the apartment has the cleaners coming in at 11 am so i will be pushing it, I have done all i can do tonight as i really need to overnight where i am up to, its a wonderful part of a book to be at because the hard work has mostly been done and like an airliner cruising down from 40,000 feet to the airport I can now set the throttle back and enjoy the glide into base, of course it never works out just how you want it, something is always there in the writing sense anyway to remind you the God given gift you have, has to be worked at to get just right, but at least it keeps us honest.
This is the first full novel I have penned in my own name and is going to be followed up very closely with a second that i have been writing and correlating for almost 3 years now, it is a much heavier piece and very much a history lesson of hard times in the Shropshire hillsides in the 30's and 40's, I am very much in tune with where that book is at and will hopefully have that ready within the month, exciting times and the products of much hard work and even more patience, something I am not known for generally, but hey we can all change.
