I think that now we are out of the other side of nano and I am not doing a post everyday I’m going to go back to putting up snippets that are 2000 words long – this makes things easier for me to keep track of the chapters and I think 2 K a week […]
The Best of David Bowie 1969/1974 Abba Gold (look I have a small child who needs entertaining ok!) Apocalyptica: Inquisition Symphony Godspeed you black emperor! More Than This: The Best of Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music No More Shall We Part: Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds Pink Floyd: Atom Heart Mother Pink Floyd: Obscured […]
And I have….. 72, 000 words! Notes and chapter extracts will continue to go up through out the year – mainly I have enough novel to post like 1000 words a week for the whole year and more anyway! I did really well with my PiBoIdMo stuff too which is good 🙂 I will be […]
