Writing Another Novel
Awhile back, in this blog, I posted that I had decided on a plot for my ninth novel.
After working on the manuscript every day since, I finished a first draft towards the end of June and have been busy with revisions.
It’s been quite a thrill and, after having spent all summer and part of autumn doubting myself, a relief that I still have fiction writing ability.
I haven’t chosen a title yet but “Losing and Winning” is one idea I’m tossing around.
The characters have led me out of New Zealand to Australia and, for a climax, to Sicily.
The more I write, and the more feedback I get on my work (and on others’ books) the more I realise that no plot ever suits every book-buyer or borrower, no matter what the genre.
As always, I hope my ninth will prove entertaining to my loyal readers.
