Progressing

Just checked my last Blog and discovered that folk have taken the time to add a comment to my last entry! Thanks. It is much appreciated.

So much so that I'm going to try to be a bit more regular as my Doctor might say! Famous last words.

The book progresses well. I have 25% of it done, which is pretty good given my busy life. I'll edit this next week, and that will be me up and running with the project. Once I reach the half-way stage I get quicker, and before too long something emerges that makes me say 'That's it. Done.' I used to panic about my writing, thinking 'What a lot of crap.' But if you keep at it, tinkering with a sentence here and a sentence there, something good always transpires. It comes into focus.

For those who like specifics I've done the Introduction, The Experimental Method and Early Socialisation. That other brilliant Scottish writer JK Rowling needn't look to her laurels just yet! Talking about writers bet you don't know that if you are with a kosher publisher we all get the same general contract? We share the same film deal for example. I'd insist I played Sigmund Freud. Others might say I'd make a far better patient!

Its a pretty dreicht day here in Hurlford, Ayrshire. Very Autumnal. I love this time of year. The colours are fantastic. If not the rain. This part of Scotland boasts loads of grey squirrels, who have been mega busy gathering in their food supply for the winter. I have seen hundreds over the last weeks or so. The birds have been working hard as well. Soon they will have to wear kevlar jackets as we blast them out of the sky because of this avian flu milarky. The UK has known about this since 1997 and has done nothing much about it. Britain reported its first case of a parrott from Surinam that died of H5 this morning. The prospect of it developing a human form is very scary.

So is the prospect of a Conservative government mind you!
