How’s your writing going? The question that non-writers love to ask. But so hard to answer. I’m doing a bit of this and that. Working on a poem. Submitting my work for publication (Jacob’s Ladder, my second novel – there’s a third one too but that’s on hold). And… I’ve started something new, something lighter than I’ve ever tried before. It’s so new it’s only a few pages long and I’m not ready to talk about it yet. I’m having a lot of fun writing it – it’s like that stage in a new relationship when it’s all thrilling and exciting, until the novelty begins to wear off and you find yourself trawling around IKEA on a damp Thursday evening. So far we’re still on Tuesday morning and it looks like it’s going to be bright and sunny all day. Not a cloud in the sky…
