First 50 friends
Got my fiftieth friend on here yesterday. Nice to meet you all!
It's getting too expensive to say drinks on me (unless they're virtual...), but thanks for the friendship :-)

First Contact
Got a nice review of my latest short story on Amazon today. Four stars, and the reviewer thought it was worthy of Asimov! Quite made my day.
Free this weekend, btw:

Twiddling thumbs
I've done all I can do at the minute on Eight Mile Island. On Saturday, I was twiddling my thumbs, thinking...I should be writing something.
Or doing something creative. And I was at a loss because I wasn't! I don't have any writing thoughts in my head at all at the minute.
Nope. Not a thing. Not even a short story.
Feels weird, like my Muse is kicking back by a pool somewhere, enjoying a drink and getting a tan. I'm sure she'll be back, but I sent her a reminder I'm here not working while she pours herself something with an umbrella in it. That's gratitude for you!

Eight Mile Island: Second Draft!
Well. That's it then. Second draft of Eight Mile Island is finished. Just need to send it to my Beta reader (who would be my wife), but that's it done and dusted.
Is it my best book so far? Well, of course!
Actually, I still think that's American Girl. But this was fun to write - I've never done an unreliable narrator before.
Anyone want to Beta Read? The format will only be A4 PDF. Let me know if you do and I'll email you a copy.
