Of Sequels and Contests

First, the fire and the Fog is now on Goodreads and Smashwords. Check it out. On Smashwords, the book is free (you decide if you want to give me money). So go get it, and pay me either in money or a review.

Also, on Goodreads, there is a contest for a free copy of the book.

Check that out too.

In other news, work on book 2 has begun, and I will start updating this page more frequently with word counts to keep track of my progress.

Today's word count: 277

Not much, but it's a start!

More Procrastination

Again, I procrastinate. 

Again, I find almost any excuse to avoid writing.  I continue to send my work to Agents / publishers as I can be bothered to, but the lack of replies takes its toll. 

I’m sure I will eventually find my way out of this rut.  I have a whole second, and third, book planned out in my head.  I just can't find the time to bring it out. 

Not that I’m doing nothing, of course.  I spend much of my spare time now doing woodwork; carving is inordinately fun. 

But I need to get back into writing again.  I love it when I do it, when I can lose myself for hours just writing.  But it can be hard to jump start the trend. 

Ah well.

As I try to focus myself on continuing to write the sequel to The Fire and the Fog, I still try to do something with it.  This week I will be submitting to a contest, the details of which can be found at

The contest is for middle-grade fiction, which, as far as I can make out, my novel qualifies as.  I hope. 

Once again, as with everything, we shall see.
