There’s still not much to report on the writing front. I hadn’t done anything much until last night, when being poorly meant I couldn’t sleep, so I ended up sitting up for a while and forcing out a few more words on the story. I don’t really like writing at night – it tires me out, but I’m always sitting there thinking, “Maybe I could be asleep right now if I’d tried a little bit harder” – and I wonder if maybe the quality of my writing would be a bit better. Last night, however, I felt so ill that there was no way I could’ve slept unless I wrote until the point of sheer exhaustion, so I managed to finish chapters one and two (I started them both at the same time and was writing them concurrently – never again! It was such an effort to get them finished!). Not going to start chapter three until I’ve got a bit more editing done – I really don’t want to get any more done until I’ve made progress on the editing front, and so far, I’ve got very little done on that front.
One update is how I write them – I still use a computer, but I now save everything to the cloud, using Google Docs – I love how it’s easy to edit documents, it saves them as it goes along and you can download them as a word file to your computer too. It means that, should your computer crash and your hard drive gets wiped, you’ve got a copy of it – kept securely, so there’s no need to worry about plagiarism – on the cloud, which you can access from any computer anywhere if you sign in by email.
Will probably update the writing section of the blog next when I actually HAVE made progress with anything of note, which is why the blog’s been so heavy on the non-writing-related stuff recently. Keep reading, folks, I really appreciate the reads/likes/comments/follows!
