Loading ...So I feel like I’m at school, making up excuses why I haven’t done my homework. First there’s that new baby taking up all my time. Then I get RSI in my right wrist, making typing PRETTY difficult. Then that gets better but the baby decides to start waking up every morning at 4am which is distinctly unsociable and leaves me feeling like the living dead. And then, the last chapter of The Disappearances (second in The Killables trilogy) turns into about three or four chapters…
But I’m really nearly there now. Will be finished by the end of the week. Of course, then there’s the read through and the realisation that I want to change everything all over again, but still, there’s nothing quite like writing ‘The End’. Very satisfying, like crossing off the last thing on your ‘to do’ list,
Otherwise, I’m up in Belsize Park (St Christopher’s School) tomorrow, and at Sydenham High next week, both of which I’m really looking forward to. And of course, I’m gearing up for publication of The Killables which is out 29 March. Very excited about this book. Also very excited about the Hunger Games film out a couple of weeks before… will it be a patch on the books I wonder?!
But look, I’m not writing, and I should be writing. I need to be writing, otherwise I really will have to tell my Editor that the cat ate my manuscript or I dropped it under a train…
Remember to follow me on Twitter if you want immediate updates on my books (and lots of inane thoughts on everything from University Challenge to the cost of train tickets)…:)
