Developments...

Well, I've got the first chapter of 'Unbound' finished, and even by my picky, fannying-about-for-an-hour-with-two-sentences-and-the-cut-and-paste-feature style of writing, I'm really pleased with it.

The lovely, and hugely supportive, ladies at the TotallyBooked blog asked me if I'd share the first taste with them, and I was all too happy to oblige; I really wanted readers to know that I'm serious about book 2, and it's fitted beautifully with how I write. I'm not a writer who can just bash it all out and then go back and refine; I need to know that something's honed and edited and complete before I can move on.

This doesn't mean that there won't be tweaks along the way - there might be something in Chapter 20 that alters a detail in a sentence on page 3 - but I can sleep at night knowing that the full stops are all in the right place, and there are no rogue apostrophes!

I love knowing I've got a firm foundation for the rest of the story, and I've reassured myself that I can still write for Finn and Lili (and they still have plenty to say...).

Now all I need to do is keep hitting the keys, and get the rest of it told! I'll keep you posted. Promise.
