\"UpdateWell, here we are. The first day of spring. The start of a new season. The Book Of Secrets<\/a> is out this month (go here<\/a> for your invite to my launch)!<\/p>\n

And it’s a full 31 days since #writeabookwithal began on the first of August<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So how am I travelling? Well, I start the new month with 15,900 words of a new manuscript. It’s perhaps not as many has I’d hoped for, but it’s been a very busy month, what with Book Week and the promotion work for The Book Of Secrets<\/em> starting to ramp up. So an average of around 500 words a day is okay by me.<\/p>\n

I am going to continue writing this month, but I’ll retire the #writeabookwithal hashtag and updates for the time being, simply because a deadline is causing me to switch projects and start something different as well. So I suspect my writing will be all over the place for the next few months as I switch back and forth.<\/p>\n

Having said that, I’ll check in with the hashtag on Twitter<\/a> regularly, so connect with me there.<\/p>\n

And let’s all give some thought to planning anew for NaNoWriMo on 1 November<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How did you get on with your manuscript in August?<\/strong><\/p>\n

PS: Don’t forget about my giveaway<\/a> – you have until 11 September to sign up for my newsletter to be in the running!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
