Yes, of
course this bad weather is terrible. Travel has been disrupted, power has been
lost to thousands of homes and millions have had a thoroughly miserable day. But
I try to look on the positive side. Forced to stray indoors, I’ve devised a PowerPoint
presentation for the first of my 2014 Swanwick Summer School lessons on editing,
and I’ve made progress with my next WW1 novel. As a pleasing extra, I’ve
discovered that 2013 was a far more productive writing year than I had
realised. Six old novels were re-edited and re-released by Cloudberry Books.
Two complete novels were written from start to finish and were put on
Cloudberry’s publishing schedule. Three partly-completed novels were finished
off. And I wrote a short manual on how to construct a novel. To cap it all, “In
Foreign Fields” hit the ground running just a few days ago. Reckon I’ll take a
break over Christmas, if only I can keep my fingers away from that darned
keyboard!
