Wow! Has it really been over a month since I last posted? I guess it has. Sorry people...
I'm also shocked to see the A-Z challenge now on V. When did that happen? And where did that time go? How's that working out for you participants?
Only a quick post to check in and to say that my cruise ship didn't sink out in the Caribbean, and that we didn't get hauled up by pirates (although it would have been cool to meet Captain Jack Sparrow). The holiday was lovely and the Caribbean is a beautiful place - and hot :) Slightly disappointed that I didn't see any dolphins or whales - or other such sights - but I DID see flying fish. They were interesting.
And after two weeks of relaxation and a relative calm crossing across the Atlantic, I enjoyed a short Easter break before delving straight into a new job, so my mind has been on over-load recently. Been three weeks now since I started and I'm settling in nicely. And the best part? Working from home. But the huge upside to this new job is I'll have more time to concentrate on writing. Yeah, the whole 'working from home' thing appealed due to health reasons, but the opportunity to give more time to writing was what won me over. I'll go into it in more detail in a later post.
In the meantime I'm striving to finish the piece I started for Nano, the same Nano piece I failed due to a car accident two weeks in. Writing's been slow for the last few months which has been killing me, but it's picking up and I'm now right at the end of Tunnel. It's only a Novella that I'm planning to launch on Amazon and so far it stands at 41k. It's going to be around the 45-50k mark once done. I don't think that's too bad for a novella.
But more on all this later. I'm now off to kill a few characters in a story climax :)

Glad you're back batteries charged and refreshed. My batteries are on the wane after a steep learning curve publishing my book on Amazon and Smashwords. The formatting gave me headaches - never mind filling in the IRS forms to avoid US taxation. Good luck with your novella
