Well, unfortunately I am not yet gracing the end stages of my novel just yet but I am getting there steadily. My current word count stands at 77823 and as I have a fair few scenes to put in I reckon I'll be exceeding the 80,000 word target. I've got until Thursday to finish and then I shall be leaving it to rest while the new year.
Enough of banging that same ol' drum, I'm sure your just thinking hurry up and finish already (I know I am) so I'm preparing for when I do finish. I emailed a couple of tutors at my local college in Richmond Upon Thames (RACC) about some courses I have found. One is The Hero's Journey and the other is Developing your Novel. Not quite sure which one would be best so I'll hopefully get a response on that soon (I'm rooting for the cheaper option!).
In non writing relating news I went to Wimbledon dogs on Friday night and had a great night. My first EVER bet and I won £74!! How jammy am I. I didn't win a thing after that but I still managed to have a free night out.
Last night I went with boyf and my parents to see Michael McIntyre at Wembley Arena. We had great seats (not too close to get picked on) and he was hilarious. There were a few crude jokes in there that I didn't think were his style but they had me crying with laughter.
Right, I'm off now as its back to work tomorrow :( and after that hectic weekend I am pooped!
Keep going!! Also we'll be neighbours come Dec as I'm moving into a houseboat in Richmond...heading south of river (half my mates will disown me!)x
ReplyDeleteI love Michael McIntyre!! His observational humour is just so funny.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your win at the dogs and I'm sure you'll get there on the novel!!

Wow you're doing really well with your word count! I struggle to get to the 60,000 word mark let alone over 80,000!
ReplyDeleteKerry - thank you! oh how cool, I looked at river boats in Eel pie Island and they are really nice!
ReplyDeleteC - Thanks, I was very jammy that night. MM was hilarious but I didnt realise he could be so crude!
DJ - I've not quite made it to 80000 but the first draft is finshed. I was at 79 thousand 300 odd today but I ended up cutting a few scenes that didnt really fit in anymore.
