The new story ‘Dawn of Wolves’ continues to make progress – the rewrite is up to 39,000 words already (even though the rough draft isn’t finished yet.) When I started I thought it would be only about 40K words, but now it is looking at being between 50 & 60K, taking it out of novella [...]

I noticed I haven’t posted for a while so it is about time to fix that. I recently fractured my right collarbone which hasn’t helped matters, and slows down writing given I am right handed. I have actually finished the rewrites of the next two Nhaqosa short stories and at some stage need to get [...]

I’ve been doing some planning on the future of The Chronicles of the White Bull collection of stories and have come up with a bit of a outline. In all, including the four stories written so far, there are going to be ten in total. The next four will be written and released in pairs, [...]
March Report

Here we are, a quarter of the way through the year already. Where does time go? Output fell again, down to around 40K last month, though there were a number of reasons for that. For half the month I was dog-sitting my brother’s dog while he was overseas and that tends to chew up time. [...]

And here we are in March already – two months of the year gone. The output was reduced a lot compared to January, only around 50-60K done, but a lot of time was spent finishing Winter Wolves, proof-reading it and publishing it on Amazon/Smashwords. The givewaway of Winter Wolves has slowed down some, but has [...]

Winter Wolves has been finished and put to bed. It can be purchased currently at the bargain price of $0.99, though that may go up at a later stage, at both Smashwords and Amazon. I have decided that all profits from the sale of it will be going to help support my sister as [...]
Winter Wolves Finished

Early this morning I got to the end of the rewrite and polishing of Winter Wolves and typed ‘The End.’ Its been a long while since I started it but now it has reached its conclusion. Well, more or less. There is still work to be done; proof reading, cover design and above all formatting [...]
Progress Report

I’m making good progress on the editing of Winter Wolves, having done thirteen of the twenty one chapter so far. That is the easy part. After finishing the rewriting I did some brainstorming, trying to nut out a few problems I was having with the plot as it sat. The brainstorming worked well, as I [...]

I’ve finished writing Winter Wolves. Its been a long time in the coming, but it is done finally. Now comes the next phase – the editing and polishing. It is going to need it. Some concepts and ideas changed during the writing and so I’m going to have to go back through it and fix [...]

January has come and gone – yes already. One twelfth of the year has already flown by. Writing wise it was a decent month. Notable points are; 130K words written – mostly rewriting old drafts but still that is progress. 70K done on rewrite of Winter Wolves novel. 10.5K done of rewrite of Dawn of [...]
