Everyday life.
Having made further good progress on my next novel, The Blue Bricks Part I (I’m up to page 120 after a few weeks of being so snowed under with university work that I couldn’t get much done) I have been considering something I do in all my novels, a type of writing, a style, a preoccupation - call it what you will.
