Weekly Update – Week Commencing 16th May 2022Skip to content

I’m a few days late publishing my update for last week. I meant to write this over the weekend, but I was busy re-painting and decorating my eldest daughter’s bedroom. She wanted a room makeover for her 13th birthday which is next weekend.

Last week was another productive week. The non-fiction book I am writing for PacktPub had a lot of work completed. I am writing a long and quite technical chapter that requires a lot of demos to be documented, so it is time-consuming, but I think the result will be great. I can’t say too much about this project just yet, but I will soon.

The book I am writing on what it’s like to write a first novel is also coming on nicely. I completed another rough draft for a chapter. I was hoping to write two chapters, but that just didn’t happen as I was focusing more on writing for Diary of a Martian.

Speaking of which, I wrote two chapters for Diary of a Martian, which was about 3800 words. I am fast approaching the final action sequence of the story, which I know is going to be hard to write, and may take a few attempts to get right, but I can’t wait to get to this section of the book. I think I am easily on track to finish writing the book by the start of the summer holidays. I am both excited and a little terrified of the prospect.
