Jez Caudle is looking after his 9 month old son.
My book is quite short at just over 30,000 words and is about my time in Chamonix in the summer of 1988. I need it proof reading and then I need to purchase a negative scanner so I can scan the pictures I want to use. THEN I have to get permission from the people in the pictures. Then it will be finished.

I get started, write a few chapters then life gets in the way. I must finish before I completely forget all my adventure!

rich92 is revising for GCSE exams (yawn)
I’ve actually got two books on the go, one is an alternate history WW2 book and the other is on vampires (vague I know, but I’d rather not talk about it). I’m about halfway through both and have the plots planned out in my head but I can’t decide which to focus on.
Hopefully I’ll have plenty of time to deal with them when my GCSE’s are over and I’m free for the summer.
I am writing but can’t seem to stay interested enough to write it. But its good. Need to do that.
fillyjonk i am the heart that you call home

Chezza81 is ebaying
I’ve decided that since I don’t seem able to discipline myself I’m going to apply to do a creative writing Masters so I have set deadlines that I have to work to, and also someone other than friends and family can get to read it and give me honest feedback.
I mean, how hard can it be? The book practically writes itself as long as I sit down and DO it. So tonight I’m making a work schedule for myself. Watch this space!
