New things

Apologies for the paucity of recent blogs. The only excuse I can really muster is that I have been busy writing. Which pleases me. It means that I'm not using this space quite so much as a displacement activity. Still, I'm determined not to neglect it.

I made a big decision about the novel, namely that I have decided to shelve it for a while, while I concentrate on something different. This new project falls within the bracket, I guess, of chicklit, but hopefully not chicklit for chicklit's sake. I hope, at least, to make some points in it. I'm hoping that people won't find being confronted by somebody with cancer in the first couple of pages too much of a turn off. I know chicklit is meant to be all warm and fluffy, but there's no reason why art can't mimic life once in a while. So, for the time being, the more literary novel (I shouldn't say that because chicklit is equally challenging to write) is on hold.....to be continued.

As they say, watch this space!
