My last post ended with a bit of a cliffhanger. I was 17,720 words into the rewrite of The Ghost Smuggler and had just convinced myself it was all a waste of time.

This week, I’m 20,702 words into the rewrite (just over a quarter of the way through) and I’m still not completely happy with it but I’m pushing on. Most of those words came on Saturday afternoon which was a bit of a surprise as we spent the morning on a jetski tour which was very exciting, but also very tiring. Great fun though, highly recommended.

Last week was also the second week of the Clarion Write-a-Thon and I’m on track for hitting my 15,000 word target.

No writing so far this week but I have been sending out a few submissions – thirty eight so far this year (that’s already the most I’ve sent out in a single year).
