This work in progress is shaping up nicely, and as always I’m
starting to see scope for both sequels as well as extending this story beyond
my original planned length.
That has also, in numerological terms took me past the 550k
mark, and exactly 35k ahead of schedule.
The heat today has been oppressive, but at least we haven’t
had to deal with the gale force winds and torrential rain that kept my business
partner up all night a couple of days ago – that is I guess one advantage of us
both living at opposite ends of the world. Our weather is not her weather, and
sometimes, like now, that’s in our favour, and sometimes, more often in fact,
it’s in her favour. New Zealand is blessed with many things compared to us,
climate being just one of them.
Unfortunately those benefits come with an attached curse, New
Zealand is in an active fault zone and the earthquakes can be doozies. I can
remember seeing the reports of what happened in Christchurch a couple of years
ago with my heart in my mouth, until I got the message telling me Paulette and
her family were safe. Just tell me how I managed to get from 3,434 words to
earthquakes via sunshine? I have no idea. Who’d want to live in the mind of a
writer, hey?
