Back to Black

Hello team

Just a quick one to say thanks for all your lovely messages re the The Wedding of the Year. We had an amazing, sun-streaked day, full of fizzy moments and cheek splitting smiles. Will post a few pics as soon as blogger lets me.

Having finally folded away the big white dress and pulled on my black winter polo neck, I'm starting to think about writing again. Have decided I'm probably going to sign on the dotted line with the agent who offered to represent me in September. To be honest, I've exhausted all my other leads and don't think I've got time to start generating new interest now. Besides, the agent I've got is a great one, so I just want to get on with working with him.

When we talked about getting me signed up, I promised I'd finish my first draft by Christmas. Ekkk! Cue strong cups of black coffee and frantic typing into the night!

Must raise my daily word count above 500.
Must stop dithering around with the thesaurus.
Must get off Facebook!

Still got about 15 000 - 20 000 words to go - not to mention all the tidying up of loose ends and editing that comes afterwards. Wish me luck! Still, when the clocks go back, and it's black from four, I shouldn't have too many distractions.
