The Festival of Writing – York #FoW15 is where I’m hedging my bets with my current WIP – Novel 10. I hope the plot, underlying conflict, and characters pin enough interest by an agent to take me on.
I hope.
However – whatever the result from York – I shall begin Novel 11.
Below is the draft plot – with approximate word counts. (I have masked the details for obvious reasons).
Starting a new novel before I know the outcome of another does 3 things:
Stops of the heartache of it not being picked up.
Stops me redrafting again.
Gives me a new project to launch my spirit into.
The plan is to spend September to December getting the first draft done.
Simple plots stop me from hitting blocks.
Onwards I say. Onwards.
Sorry if this affects your eyesight. Just blink a few times.
Any typos are subject to interpretation…
