Xmas

Have not been sleeping well since I found out that my Aunties had judged me unfairly at my father's funeral. So didn't really sleep last night and was ill today. Woke up at 1.00, put the potatoes on. My wife came back from work at about 2.20. Unable to afford Christmas so we just gave each other token presents until January. I shut my finger in the door, it really hurt. Had a headache, I think I have a cold or rhinitis at least. Got some nice presents off my daughters. Had another Christmas lunch at my brother-in-laws. While I was waiting to watch the video wrote 200 words of TDO chapter 6. Only another 700 or so to go then I am half way through. I wasn't planning to write anything today but felt better because I have.

Typing

I finished typing in chapter 4 and 5 of The Detective One on Wednesday. Also did 750 word revision of Kendra. Am trying to do 1,000 words a day and type in 1,000. Finished the poem for the science fiction poetry competition.

Kaplah!

I have finished chapter four of The Detective One. Have Added prose to the first 7,000 words of Kendra. Wrote half a poem for the science fiction poetry competition on Wattpad. I now have nearly 3,300 followers on Twitter. Am finishing the scene between Biggs andAlf in the library today. Have already started thinking about the seventh book in the Arth series, it is going to be set in the horror dimension. Therefore the sixth book will be set in the romance dimension. The Romancing Stone? Ideas on a postcard...

Ripped off!

Entered a draw from a Youtube advert and it said I had joined a prize club and was taking £4.50 off me from my phone!!!

Am on chapter 4 of The Detective One. Also checked through Kendra, the first 1,000 words and added some more prose and description (did it while at Morrisons getting the shopping.) Wrote a short piece 'Interview with the Author' and put it on my website. I Twittered it but cannot see the total visits yet because the stats program only updates once a week!!!

Publishing on the Kindle

Managed to finish the cover of Ground Hog War yesterday. Had problems trying to upload it to Amazon today. I either got the pictures right and wrong formatting or right formatting and no pictures. Figured out that I needed to change the paragraph formatting and take the two spaces out before each paragraph. It now works!!! :)

Will need to type in another 200+ words of The Detective One for 12 tonight. Wrote about 200 words today. It was my sons birthday and we went to Morrisons for a meal.

Proofing

I have proof read up to chapter 10 of Ground Hog War. I have created 12 chapters out of the 13 because one of the earlier chapters was only 1,000 words long. I have fully typed in The Detective One the first chapter, it is 500 words longer than I usually make them. I looked at my drawing tablet again and it does not work very well at all, I probably need a better driver. So I started to copy a Churchill AVRE by using paint. I will use the other paint program to blend the colours when I'm finished. I, I, I, I, I, I love I very much.

Chapter 10

Typed in rest of chapter 9 of Ground Hog War last night. It is about 1,000 words short so I might abut chapter 10 onto it. Put part 3 of The Detective One onto Wattpad, it is the 5th book in the Arth series. Managed to hand write most of the first chapter. Hoping to get chapter 10 typed in today.
