Happy New Year!
Progress continues on Command Authority. I added 8,500 words this month, so it now stands at 142,500 words. That's long even by my standards. I've identified a few scenes that I'll probably cut.
I finally joined a local writers' group in Blackpool - the same one my mum was in, back in the 1980s. They've been around a lot longer than the groups I've been in before now, and they're more formal (they have a committee and an annual subscription), but they seem friendly enough. They have periodic writing challenges, which might provide input for a new book of short stories. No doubt I'll have more to say about them in future posts.
