  • Word Count Update 31st March

    I can’t get over how well my first day back at the writing has gone! Running the Asset‘s manuscript is now sitting at 97,134 words. ?

  • Author Journal 31st March – 6th April 2022

    Like all good things, holidays must come to an end. On the one hand, I’m a bit bummed that I don’t get to have a long lie until 0530, but on the other, I’m really excited to get back to my work routine. I mentioned in a post last week about the importance of taking…

  • Things in Scots: Running the Asset Edition – Wean

    This week?s word is another one that might require a pronunciation explainer. Last week I explained that ae sounds like the English ay in bay/say/hay. The ea in wean sounds exactly the same. Here?s the snippet? (unedited first draft)

  • Even Robots Need a Break

    It won?t surprise readers of my Author Journal posts that I?ve been running on fumes for the past month or two, nearing burnout. The routine, which I love, started to wear on me to the point I swear I could see the hamster wheel I was stuck on day after day. But I had time…

  • Author Journal 24th – 30th March 2022

    Guess who’s on holiday, finally? Yip, that’s me with the huge grin and a list of movies to watch–when I’m not out on the bike with Jez. Like most people, the last week of work before you’re on holiday is a hard slog. And, man, did I feel it.

  • Things in Scots: Running the Asset Edition – Naewey

    The spelling of this week?s word might make it a bit difficult to pronounce, as vowels in Scots don?t sound the same as they do in English. A good example is the word wash. In Scots, wash rhymes with rash/cash/mash. And onto today?s word. The letters ae sound like the ay you find in hay/bay/say,…

  • The Two Books That Turned My Life Around

    In my latest Journal update, you’ll have seen that I’ve been cranking up my wordage outputtery. I’ve not had time left over to get much reading done to achieve my writing goal. I’ve had a lot of comments about my productivity and my self-discipline when it comes to writing. Well, it wasn’t always this way.…

  • Author Journal 17th – 23rd March 2022

    What a week! The last seven days have just flown by. I can’t believe it’s time for another journal entry already. I upped my writing goal to 4,000 words last week without really looking at what scenes were coming up. Writing in Adam’s or Elle’s point of view (POV) is easy enough for me to…

  • Things in Scots: Running the Asset Edition – Chib

    Welcome to the revamped Things in Scots series. In this incarnation of TiS, I?m sharing the Scots language found in my upcoming romantic suspense novel, Running the Asset. This week?s snippet is a bit longer than usual. When I cut it to just the Scots word, it made Adam seem like a guy who got…
