I’m running late again this month, unfortunately running is the thing the I’ve stopped, one terrible experience at a Park Run and I’ve been right put off. Still, I will get back into it some time. This is really just a quick note to tell you all is well. The depression is under medication (which I hate taking) and fortunately, these are helping me sleep, but they are dulling any emotions. Not great downers but no ups either.
I’ve also been very busy.
I’ve finally finished editing an anthology which goes on sale on the 25th.
I have finally finished writing “Locked In”. Yey! Had some major issues with this. This is in fact, a full rewrite – i.e. I threw the first version in the bin and rewrote from scratch. I’d had an edit done on the first version and boy did it tear me apart!
After the rewrite I went back to the comments to check I’d done everything – and I hadn’t. So I was in a quandary as to what to do. This was all about a secondary plot line that wasn’t working. So I took some advice that I disagreed with. Then I ignored the advice and decided to delete all references to the second plot line – and after I had, I’d only lost less than 1000 words. So that’s it, gone. Sometimes you just have to cut out the deadwood.
And, of course, I’ve been reading and reviewing comics.
So life continues and I hope to blog again soon.
