I’m making good progress on my children’s adventure novel: ‘The Badger Helper Watcher: The Misadventures of Sam and Sally Book One’. So far this week, I’ve typed a little bit up every day, so I’m hoping to keep up with that. I can definitely see how much I’ve improved as a writer since I first scribbled down the words in these now ancient notebooks, but I’m not editing it too much as I go along. It’s more important to get to the end and then edit it later. There are huge chunks that I can cut out (I’m up to chapter 59, so that tells you something about how ridiculously long it became) and I can see why I had to step away from it for a while, but in stepping away from it I went on to write (and finish, most importantly) my first full novel: ‘A Fifth Visitor’, so some things happen for a reason. All paths lead somewhere, I suppose, even if they just connect you to another path that you didn’t see coming.

There’s still time to get the first two Pulse Hospital Radio stories: ‘Richmond’s Rarity’ and ‘Richmond’s Christmas Rarity’ for free on kindle. They’re there until midnight tonight.

It’s been a crazy few days of trying to get the paperback cover uploaded to amazon kdp. When I’ve converted it to a pdf, it’s been adding a massive white space (thanks, but no thanks). I finally managed to sort it by pasting the original jpg into a word document of exactly the same size and then saving it as a pdf. Here’s a print of what the front and back cover will look like. It’s been a hard slog, but hopefully worth it.
