Still Here

Hi,
It's been a little while since I last posted anything here, I know. I have meant to but it's usually ended up being too late at night when I'm struggling to keep my eyes open and so I keep putting it off until tomorrow and, well, you can guess the rest.
The writing's been going in peaks and troughs but I have pretty much managed to try and write something every day on the novel. Some days are easier than others. I had a good spell last week. 2000 words one evening when I really got into the scene I was writing and another good day when I hit my 1000 word target quite quickly. If only more days were like that.
I'm currently reading "The Echelon Vendetta" by David Stone, which was highly recommended at last years CWA Dagger Awards. I am actually enjoying it very much. It's a great thriller.
Other than that, I don't really have much to report. Have gotten into Guitar Hero on the Wii, along with bouts of ultra violence playing Madworld.
I think perhaps the end of the novel is coming into sight. Things are getting slowly easier with it and I'm starting to really drive towards the end of the first draft.
Then there's just the rewrite, some research, then another run through the whole thing, polishing and sharpening it - and hopefully the manuscript will finally be ready to send to my agent. That's the plan anyway.
Will keep you all posted.
