Actually, you should probably make it a trilogy. Everyone loves trilogies. |

No sub-dom in this one, or at least not yet! Hrrm. *Strokes chin thoughtfully* *Strokes something else* Astonishingly, despite my original plan which has now been dramatically aborted due to being (although awesome high concept) stitled and rambling, I have now switched from 1920's fantasy-sci-fi to utterly non-fantastical 1970's American crime thriller. I don't regret the waste in word count as I'm catching up fast and the dialogue is just flying off the page. I'm especially amused that throwaway Basil-Exposition cop has basically stolen the novel, whilst being suspiciously similar to Rich Hall. The novel involves Reno, Nevada, and will be linking in places wot I went to in my travelogue. It's also still, mercifully, weird. Detective Rich Hall may run to a best-selling series of novels elevating me to wise-crackingly charming multi-millionaire New York dwelling Castle-style novelist, so no worries there, Squirt. |

I'm sure it'll all fit in somehow... |

Flashbacks. Or have the main character dream about a sci-fi 1920s. Or have him write a novel about a sci-fi 1920s. Or possibly some sort of time-loop sub-plot. |

10,000 words in now, 40,000 to go. Fleurgh. Still managed to resist anything supernatural or remotely fantastical. Yay me! It's all hard-boiled stuff in commonplace, down to earth, Reno. Main character is young black kid amusingly saddled with a Germanic name that everyone calls him on. Main other character is a quite lovable mafia man who's coming out of the closet, with extreme and excellent violence! It's nuts, obv. Will almost certainly lead to an old style Western shoot-out face off. No wizards need apply. The only downer is that I daren't pick up XCom, or indeed any other game, for an entire month. Blub. |

The man sat down to read Beex. These were some of the posts he read. Copy and Paste, job done. |

I fear it ain't possible. Me like sleep, plus - work. Next year I'll book a week off for it.

I've always rather liked the idea of copying my musical hero, Mahler, and owning a small cabin by some Alpine lake where I can retreat to over the summer and be creative. |

9 days to decide if I'm going to have another shot at this or not. It's very tempting. |

Speaking of writing, if anyone wants to try Novlr Plus for six months, I have AN CODE. Code: 3CJKAJZW It's light years ahead of using Word, and I prefer it to Scrivener (but mainly because Scriv made me angry that I couldn't share a novel between a Mac and a PC). You can try it out at http://www.novlr.org |

Bean wrote a story the other day for a 500 words competition. It’s about the day he ate a curry that was so hot that his shadow left his body, and the consequences of that happening. |
