Writing: From 0 to 90,000 words

I am launching my new novel at Parisot Library in France this Saturday, 16 November 10.30am (in case you are in the vicinity).

I will be talking about my various strategies for getting from 0 to 90,000 words, which, in the case of this novel involved salt lakes in the Camargue, chapels in the Pyrenees, pilgrim routes through southern France, medieval markets and wine cellars, floating mills, museum objects and portrait paintings. I will post the full slide show and text of the talk next week.
