It's a start!

Today went reasonably well. Despite the obvious hiccups, I was able to straighten out chapters two and three and I'm pleased enough with the results so far. I had come up with a few ideas on holiday which I managed to put onto the page today for the first time. I also came up with another brainwave re chapter two last night... I even refrained from writing it down until today, keeping it in my head until ready to work with it - so now I know it must have been a good idea because otherwise, I would have forgotten it.

The other challenge I have at the moment is that my better half is now at home. He suggested we go for a walk this afternoon, maybe call in at the tennis club to find out what's what (we played and enjoyed a lot of tennis on holiday). I'm happy with regular walking. I would also be happy to fit in a regular tennis session each week so, in keeping with the usual January stuff, that's another thing I'll have to keep you informed about.

Getting There...

One more day to go, the kids will be back at school and some semblence of normality can resume. I have the most up to date version of my manuscript copied to a flashstick (or two) and from tomorrow I am relocating to some peace and quiet (hopefully). I've even switched myself off from other distractions and have resolved not to get involved in any new versions. This is it now. This is me taking my life a bit more seriously with a self imposed deadline (Easter) to knock this thing into a publishable state. I'll pop back from time to time with a progress report, not because I assume anyone out there is interested but because I think it would be a good way to keep me on track!
