Well, somehow it's still summer. Better late than never, I suppose! Apologies for the lack of posts in recent weeks, I've had my head down and focused on writing the novel. Progress is good. I've also been catching up on a bit of reading - which is like filling up with petrol for writers.
I recently finished 'What They Do In The Dark' by Amanda Coe, a story about the loss of innocence set in 1970's Doncaster. All credit to Amanda, I've never read a book as fast as i read hers. Why? Because it was truly engrossing and because I knew from quite early on that something disturbing was going to happen at the end. A bit like the car crash that you can't help but look at, I had to find out what would happen to the characters. And they were thoroughly believable characters too. Amanda's name may be familiar to some - she has also written scripts for the Channel Four series 'Shameless.'
You'll also see a link in the Wonderful Distractions sidebar to the website of Myke Gray. Myke is one of Britain's leading Personal Trainers. I thought this site would be helpful to anyone struggling with the work-life balance, whether they be a full-time writer or not. Myke has a great philosophy on life and well-being. His site is completely free and offers exercise videos and meal plans. Please take a look if you are wanting to make a positive change to your lifestyle.
Until next time. Come back fitter, stronger, happier!
