Writing, Writing, Writing

Not sure where this burst of writing has come from. I have had some

bad news, personally which has brought me great sadness. Maybe that has forced me to reevaluate my situation, and all the things I can be thankful for. I have a lot to be thankful for. I think, when events like this are put into perspective, it can really focus the mind.

I have wanted to be a published author for so long, now, I really just want to get on with it. My MG science fiction which I have been writing for at least 3 years, is still washing around the middle of the novel. The start I think is pretty good, although that goes through numerous changes. I'm also 4000 words into a new fantasy, early chapter book. That book, my own children are enjoying immensely so I will continue on with that.

I am reading a lot of chapter books and early chapter books to my children at the moment, I am getting a lot of genre exposure. This is inspiring me to write my own!

My own children enjoying my writing really spurs me on to write more. Unfortunately, they're both too young for my MG scifi so I can't read them that at the moment.

I'm thinking of releasing the early chapter story on here as a serial. It might be nice to share a story with people at the moment but I'm not quite sure if the subject matter is appropriate at the moment.

So that's my update at the moment.

I really hope that everyone reading this blog is staying safe, staying at home and keeping well.
