And so all writing and reading ground to a halt as I made a push to get everything done for Christmas.
Fortunately my mind kept awhirling and has presented me with more horror stories for a collection to be written and published in the New Year, and also the premise for a full-length horror novel... wahoo!
It is frustrating however to have a mind brimming with all these exciting ideas and not to have the time to start on them. I have had to make do with penning the ideas down and playing scenes in my mind like a film. Not the same buzz as actually writing though.
The final editing sweep of my novel "after Owen" was also interrupted, just as I embarked upon a rewrite of the ending. I hope to finish that over Christmas and to get it off to my friend for professional copy editing before the New Year. I'm still on track to publish in February.
Sales of 'Five Very British Horror Stories' are still dong really well, which fills me with impatience to publish more! Bring on 2014.
