Help Yourself - novel progress

[andrewmck]

Whenever I set myself to a task I can be sure that disaster will surely ensue. Since I posted that I was starting this novel project I had received a flurry of urgent client requests to fix and update websites. My mum's knee has become infected and she's had to go back to hospital for an antibiotic drip. I've been wiped out with a pulled neck muscle and a cold (not a flu, luckily!). And, today, the teachers had a stop work meeting so the boys were here all morning making noise and asking for things.

Nevertheless, I finally sat down last night and got things started. First chapter is done and chapter two is coming fine so far. I'm looking at getting a few more words written this afternoon.  The current word count?

Starting's the hardest thing. And then it's just momentum. Good luck! And here's hoping the orbiting disasters leave you alone now.

A chapter and a bit in 1000 words? That's a gift, my friend.

And I guess this isn't the best time to ask about updating my website? :)

Here's hoping things settle down soon :)

And speaking of clients, give me a buzz when/if you need help with GRM - I've flicked notes etc based on conversations with Rowena but it was right as I started with Commbank so god only knows whether I made a scrap of sense!
