Bang!

So, here I am, posting on the blog again. Not as soon as I'd hoped, but at least this time I made it back in the same fortnight (or, dare I say it, calendar year)! I aim to only improve from here on in. Promise.

While I've given some thought to this post over the past week or so, I haven't been able to sit down and draft anything up (see below why). So, what I'm going to do is just cover some Ossard's Hope stuff, and then give you something a bit meatier next time. Next time will also be within the same fortnight. Promise.

Work continues on wrapping up Ossard's Hope, though I have blown a deadline, which isn't good. The next few weeks will be critical. I need to be able to finish stuff up, but I can't really do anything more than what I am currently doing (quitting the day job is just not an option).

I'm not going to bore you with the details of my routine, but I assure you that I work on the book every day in pretty much all my spare time - aside from the four or five hours a weeknight I grab for sleep. On the weekends, I pretty much spend the whole time catching up on some sleep, and, well yes, editing.

Now, I've been working pretty hard on the book for a long time, but like a deranged fool for the best part of the last few months. I'm making great progress, but I'm still not finished. Clearly, if I don't get to finish with this puppy soon, it's going to send me around the bend.

Crackers!

Okay, so perhaps I'm already part way there.

I'm not writing about this to get sympathy, but to let you know some of what's actually involved in this process in terms of blood, sweat and tears.

Simply, soon the book will be finished, hopefully without blowing any more critical deadlines. In the meantime, I hope I can continue to count on your support and interest, which I not only enjoy, but count on when I sit down to tackle that manuscript everyday.

More soon.

Promise.
